PANACHIT KITTIPANYANGAM

President, Thailand Tech Start-up Association

Panachit Kittipanya-ngam, the Thailand Tech Start-up Association president, gathered colleagues to form a group called Ped Thai Su Phai.

One of the group’s first initiatives was to create an online patient screening system. People can enter details of their symptoms—the data is then sent to hospitals to establish consultations with potential patients. The project’s latest effort is an app called Pedkeeper, which classifies the temperature of the users as high- or low-risk based on their recent travels overseas, using data supplied by the Department of Disease Control.
