A University of Maryland medical student named Veena S. Katikineni is part of a pair of students that won a competition put on my Scientists Without Borders, in which they designed an innovative solution to deal with mental health issues.
Veena Katikineni (courtesy of her Twitter account, @VeenaSK125) Katikineni – along with Alejandra Leyton, a Bolivian-born health economist and master’s student at Tulane University, where she is studying public health – will split the $10,000 prize bestowed upon them. Their innovation is called “Mhealth for Mental Health,” which is an idea to use SMS text messaging services to provide fast, reliable, and relatively affordable information about mental health afflictions to communities around the world.
