Who Is Asmi Jain? 20-Year-Old Indore Girl Develops Healthcare App

20-year-old Asmi Jain was selected as one of the winners of Apple's WWDC23 Swift Student Challenge for creating an original healthcare application.

A student of Medi-Caps University in Indore, Jain learned that her friend's uncle had undergone brain surgery. Following the surgery, he was left with facial paralysis and eye misalignment.

Jain designed an app playground that could track a user's eye movements as they try to follow a ball around the screen. The app helps strengthen eye muscles and the young creator hopes her app can be used to help people with eye conditions and injuries.
