The CONSM family proudly congratulates Ms. Jennefer P. Fisher-Bascos, a CNSM representative from the Midwifery Program, for securing 1st Place in the Best Innovation Pitch Award and receiving the Best Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) Award during the AI-Pitch: Research Artificial Intelligent Solutions for Total Student Success Beyond Boundaries, held on October 22, 2026, at Margarita Joven Fernandez Hall, as part of the 17th University Research Colloquium.
Her poster titled “MINERVA: AI-Driven Women’s Health Tracker for Student Success” highlights the potential of artificial intelligence to support women’s health awareness and promote student success. By bringing together health-related innovation and educational objectives, the research reflects the importance of exploring technology-driven approaches that respond to students’ needs and contribute to a more supportive learning environment.
Ms. Fisher-Bascos’s dual recognition underscores her competence, innovative thinking, and ability to communicate complex ideas effectively. Her achievement also highlights the valuable contribution of the Midwifery Program to interdisciplinary research and technological innovation in health sciences education.
This accomplishment aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being, through its focus on women’s health; SDG 4: Quality Education, by connecting student well-being with academic success; SDG 5: Gender Equality, by highlighting women’s health needs; and SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, through the exploration of AI-driven solutions to contemporary challenges.
The CONSM family celebrates this remarkable milestone and commends Ms. Fisher-Bascos for bringing pride to the Midwifery Program. May her achievement inspire continued excellence in research, responsible technological innovation, and meaningful contributions to women’s health and student success.
