‘Poised for profound impact on world’: Apple CEO Tim Cook dinner on India’s Asmi Jain

“At Apple, our mission is to help people everywhere pursue their passions and bring their best ideas to life. I had an amazing time meeting so many people from India’s innovative iOS developer community earlier this year,” Cook said after the virtual interaction, according to Indian Express. He was referring to his visit to the country in April, when he inaugurated the tech giant’s first 2 exclusive retails outlets in India, in Mumbai and Delhi respectively.

Speaking about Jain, meanwhile, he continued: “Asmi’s incredible work exemplifies the creativity and ingenuity on display all across this country. She is already poised to make a profound impact on the world by helping people with their health, and we are excited to see what she does next.”

What did Asmi Jain develop?

She developed an app to track a person’s eye movements, even as they try to follow a ball moving around the screen. She entered the competiton after a friend’s uncle was left with eye misalignment and facial paralysis in the wake of a brain surgery.

A student at the Medi-Caps University in her hometown – also the nation’s cleanest city – Jain, hopes her creation can be used for various eye conditions and injuries.

“My next goal is to get feedback and make sure it’s efficient and user-friendly, after which launch it on the App Retailer. In the end, I wish to increase it in order that it helps strengthen all the muscle mass within the face,” she instructed Apple in an earlier interview.
