Franka Undie, a Nigerian national, has achieved notable recognition at an international university for her pioneering artificial intelligence solution in the healthcare sector.
Franka originates from the Yala local government area
situated in Cross River State, a region in southern Nigeria.
Mathew Okachie, the husband of Franka and the Chief Press
Secretary (CPS) to the Speaker of Cross River State House of Assembly,
commended Franka for bringing honor to their family.
“I won’t lie, the entire family is proud of Franka for
graduating with Distinction in Master’s degree in Mathematics and Informatics –
Artificial Intelligence,” an elated Okachie said on Sunday in Calabar.
Prior to embarking on an international journey to pursue a
Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence at RUDN University in Russia, Franka
had declined numerous opportunities that would have allowed her to obtain a
Master’s degree from various prestigious universities worldwide. Ultimately,
she successfully gained admission to RUDN University, where she completed her
studies with remarkable distinction.
In 2019, Franka Undie garnered significant global
recognition by securing over 20 Master of Science admissions from esteemed
universities worldwide.
Okachie mentioned that prior to Franka’s graduation, she was
the recipient of a distinguished award in recognition of her pioneering
scientific research endeavors. Her work demonstrated significant potential in
revolutionizing the healthcare industry by leveraging the transformative power
of Artificial Intelligence.
By choosing to further her education at RUDN University, she
displayed exceptional commitment and intellectual prowess, which culminated in
her recent graduation with distinction, earning a Master of Science degree.
It has been brought to our attention that Franka’s MSc
thesis has established a new standard in the integration of AI within the
healthcare industry, as highlighted by Okachie.
The Cross River Speaker's aide emphasized that Franka’s
research is centered on the development of an AI system that not only assists
medical professionals in decision-making, but also offers clear and
comprehensible explanations for its recommendations.
This cutting-edge innovation aims to revolutionize medical
decision-making by empowering healthcare professionals with comprehensive
patient data, thereby facilitating informed choices and optimizing patient
outcomes.
The user-friendly interface of our AI system is a key
differentiator. It simplifies complex AI algorithms, making them easily
understandable and accessible to medical professionals, even those without
extensive technical expertise.
This groundbreaking advancement has the potential to
substantially enhance patient outcomes by guaranteeing that medical choices are
both data-driven and understandable.
Okachie affirmed that Franka’s outstanding work has been
duly recognized. Notably, she was bestowed with a prestigious award from RUDN
University in acknowledgment of her significant scientific contributions. This
recognition underscores the profound impact and relevance of her research in
the domains of artificial intelligence and healthcare.
“This recognition serves as a testament to her pioneering
mindset and the tangible impact of her work.
“In addition to her academic achievements and research
contributions, my wife, Franka, demonstrates a strong commitment to excellence
and service in her personal life,” Okachie stated.
