60 Cecil.io 2019 Yearbook: Chatbot for Answering Questions About Medication Package Inserts Authors: Alan Brande, Javier Lempert, Federico Silberstein, and Facundo Viroga Organization: Mega Pharma Laboratory The purpose of this project was to implement virtual assistants in various departments at Mega Pharma, a multinational pharmaceutical company, with the goal of maximizing efficiency. The initial prototype, which is easy to maintain and expand, sought to address the challenges posed by medication package inserts, including the fact that they are often misplaced, difficult to read due to their format and font size, and written in technical language, preventing users from finding the answers they seek. The result of the project is a highly adaptable architecture that includes information on Mega Pharma’s medications, accessible via Facebook Messenger and mobile apps on both Android and iOS. The architecture allows for the addition of new user interfaces without requiring changes to the existing system. Additionally, has back office that enables the incorporation of information on new medications and the retraining of the system’s cognitive services to recognize new user dialogues.

Coopify: A Blockchain-Based Service Exchange Platform Authors: Agustín Caetano, Camilo Martínez, Ismael Puricelli, and Juan Rodríguez Organization: Light-IT Digital Product Agency The objective of this project was to create a platform for the exchange of services between users without handling real money. This platform has virtual currency called “coopi” that solves the problem of “barter” service exchange; this virtual currency is decentralized and regulated using blockchain technologies to ensure transparency and reliability. This platform allows users to exchange services with one another or pay in coopies. The purpose is to foster cooperation within the community; users can post their services for a value in coopies, negotiate potential exchanges, and leave reviews about their experience for future consumers. To earn coopies, users must meet goals or help the system grow. The system consists of a website and two data access servers developed with NodeJS. Two servers were necessary to encapsulate the business logic in one and the Ethereum access logic (selected blockchain provider) in the other. The website or frontend is built with React and uses PWA technology to provide extended support on mobile devices and function as a native mobile app. Major: Systems Engineering Advisor: Darío Macchi, Eng.
