11/22/23, 3:03 PM AI-powered, Blood-donation Room Monitoring Project Wins the 2023 iTwin4Good Challenge
During the live demonstration at the competition, the project team showcased the app's dynamic
capabilities in monitoring and displaying real-time changes in room occupancy. Moreover, they
highlighted the app's adaptive nature, demonstrating how it adjusts the queue order to align with the
shifting requirements for specific blood types.
The iTwin4Good Challenge series, a collaborative initiative by Enactus and Bentley Systems, serves as
a platform for students to tackle UN Sustainable Development Goals, including affordable and clean
energy, sustainable cities and communities, and climate action. Participants utilize the iTwin Platform,
Bentley's digital twin technology for infrastructure, to address these global challenges. In the Brazil
competition, teams composed of three students, representing 36 universities, engaged in projects
showcasing their creativity, problem-solving skills, unwavering commitment to sustainability, and
technical proficiency.
To further spotlight these exceptional student projects, Enactus and Bentley Systems have slated the
iTwin World Cup for April 2024 at London's ExCel, coinciding with the Enactus National Expo. During
this global showcase, "All In" will compete against the victor of the Enactus U.K. iTwin4Good Challenge,
scheduled for March 2024. This event promises to be a prestigious platform where these innovative
projects will be celebrated on an international stage.
Chris Bradshaw, Chief Sustainability Officer at Bentley Systems, expressed enthusiasm about the
collaboration with Enactus, emphasizing the empowerment of university students to delve into
infrastructure engineering solutions and digital twin technology while addressing societal challenges.
Bradshaw commented, “We are excited to partner with Enactus in empowering university students
to learn more about infrastructure engineering solutions and digital twin technology, while
solving issues that affect our society. I congratulate the All In team for its amazing project. By
helping hospitals know what blood types are needed and when, the app could help save lives.
We are also excited to establish the iTwin World Cup and look forward to seeing the inspired
projects developed by U.K. students in March. I wish all the participants much success in their
projects.”
