In a triumphant display of innovation and dedication, Team Zeri from Assumption University's Design and Digital Innovation (DDI) program, under the Martin de Tours School of Management and Economics, has emerged as the winner of the prestigious 2023 Albert Prize Award of Academic Achievement. This coveted award, named in honor of the university's esteemed Rector Magnificus, Rev. Bro. Bancha Saenghiran, signifies a commitment to nurturing excellence in student endeavors and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Team Zeri's debut project, an intelligent medicine container named "Routine," captured acclaim at the Health Tech X startup competition, hosted by the Thai Health Promotion Foundation. Out of a competitive pool of 105 participants, Team Zeri emerged as one of the top 25 winners, securing a substantial grant of 500,000 baht and invaluable mentorship from Thai Health. With this financial boost, the team is poised to propel their efforts toward the development of a functional prototype within the upcoming year.


Inspired by their initial success, their second startup venture, centered around a personalized anti-aging solution. The team's participation in the Proof of Concept (POC) TED Youth Startup 2023 competition, organized by the Technology and Innovation-based Enterprise Development Fund (TED Fund), ended in yet another resounding victory. Securing an impressive funding amount of one million and forty thousand thai baht, Team Zeri is now primed to advance their pioneering anti-aging herbal supplement formula and meticulously crafted market research plan.

His active involvement in university activities reflects his dedication to personal growth, contributing positively to the team dynamics.

Ms. Prinda Techaiya's experience in the advertising industry and exceptional networking skills have played a crucial role in establishing strong business connections and partnerships for both projects.

Team Zeri's accomplishments highlight the transformative impact that dedication and creativity can have on our community. Their projects exemplify Assumption University's commitment to fostering excellence and pushing the boundaries of possibility."

Each team member's diverse background and skill set played a pivotal role in the success of both projects. From market research and data analysis to UX/UI design, networking, and financial analysis, their unique capabilities converged harmoniously, resulting in comprehensive solutions and memorable user experiences.

The journey of Team Zeri unveiled unexpected insights as they developed the Medication Reminder and Smart Box systems. Addressing challenges faced by the elderly and those taking anti-aging supplements, these systems offer users a seamless way to track and communicate their health routines. This innovation not only showcases their dedication but also underscores the impact of thoughtful solutions on healthcare.
