Moustafa Abdelwahap Wins the Falling Walls Lab Cairo 2022

© Falling Walls Foundation
Hosted in a presence format for the first time since the onset of the pandemic, the Falling Walls Lab Cairo was a great success also in 2022: Scientists, young entrepreneurs and researchers from the fields of archaeology, medicine, technology, education and linguistics competed against each other to find out “Which are the next walls to fall?”.

Out of a total of 7 ideas that have been presented by our “Labsters” during the event, Mr Moustafa Abdelwahap managed to win the jury for his innovation of “Breaking the Wall of Artificial Intelligence in Health”. Moustafa problematised the lack of reliable labelled patient data in medical institutions. Thus, he developed a “Data Annotation Platform” based on an artificial intelligence which assists in the labelling process and is able to improve itself using machine learning. This idea can have a positive impact on the effective administration of patient data in the future.

By successfully competing against his 6 fellow Labsters, Moustafa will get the opportunity to participate in the Falling Walls Science Summit 2022 which takes place from 7th until 9th November in Berlin. In the framework of this event, his innovative invention and career can profit from an attention and funding boost through networking events and further opportunities to present his idea to relevant stakeholders. Moreover, if he will succeed to prove the value of his innovation in the Falling Walls Final, he will benefit from even larger funding for his project and awareness generated by the event. We wish Moustafa all the best for his projects and we hope that his proposed way of structuring patient data by using artificial intelligence will become a key technology in the hospitals of the future!
