June ”, respectively Maria Luiza Mondelli and Renata Frota.

“A Vera” has developed a bot to monitor and publish alerts about potentially false or unfounded content, supported by trusted sources. With the software, “disinformation with information” is combated, identifying the main influencers on a given subject using a data collection mechanism. The group has already searched the INPI – National Institute of Industrial Property website for future registration of the brand and also intends to protect the software.
Dr. June, in turn, consists of a bot that simulates a conversation between a suspected coronavirus infection and a primary health care provider. In the conversation, by cell phone or internet, the health professional advises on the first health measures and indicates the nearest location for medical care. The name of the invention is inspired by the scientist June Almeida, the first to identify the human coronavirus, in 1964.
In her lecture, Gabriela Toledo explained that intellectual property can be worked according to the profile of the developer. Being an entrepreneur, he can create a startup and even seek investors for his business. “But you will necessarily have to develop your brand,” he added. Another way to use IP is by licensing the developed technology, which can be done with a company that can economically exploit the asset.
