One of the winning apps aims to facilitate a green corridor for ambulances by coordinating traffic control. Other apps with social relevance include an app to help children with dyslexia learn letters, colours, and numbers, an anti-bullying app for reporting anonymously, and an app for early diagnosis of eye disorders by conducting eye-vision test.
