Iranian student wins international award for AI device to relieve infant colic

The competition featured over 1,100 inventions from 27 countries

A student from Tehran University of Medical Sciences has won international acclaim for inventing an artificial intelligence-based system to diagnose and relieve infant colic. This is reported by Mehr News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.

Fereshteh Pirani, a master’s student in midwifery at the university’s School of Nursing and Midwifery, was awarded the silver medal at the 5th International Invention and Innovation Competition of the International Federation of Inventors' Associations.

The competition, held virtually from 15–17 August 2025, featured over 1,100 inventions from 27 countries. Pirani’s invention is a wearable AI-powered device that detects colic pain in infants and delivers tailored, non-invasive relief solutions. The system aims to reduce unnecessary doctor visits, lower healthcare costs, and improve the quality of life for babies and their families.

The university praised Pirani for her achievement, describing it as a source of pride for the scientific community and the School of Nursing and Midwifery. The faculty expressed hope for continued accomplishments by its students on both national and global stages.

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"
