Artificial intelligence for agriculture and environment is a collection of significant models for enviromental friendly Thailand development. The models create with machine learning and deep learning by Near infrared spectroscopy research center for agricultural and food products, including: Determining the nutrient needs (N P K) of durian trees by measuring durian leaves using a non-destructive technique using artificial intelligence, Identification of combustion properties of biomass from fast-growing trees and agricultural residues using non-destructive techniques combined with artificial intelligence, and Evaluation of global warming due to biomass combustion using non-destructive techniques using artificial intelligence. The basic technology used is Near infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy technology which measurement and output display can be done quickly without chemical, no requirement for special expert, and measurement price per sample is very low. But the instrument cannot be produced in Thailand.

Coffee is a critical agricultural commodity to be used to produce a premium beverage to serve people worldwide. Coffee microbiome turned to be an essential tool to improve the bean quality through the natural fermentation. Therefore, understanding the microbial diversities could create the final product's better quality. This study investigated the natural microbial consortium during the wet process fermentation of coffee onsite in Thailand to characterize the microorganisms involved in correlation toward the biochemical characteristics and metabolic attributes. Roasting is another important step in developing the complex flavor/ aroma that make coffee to be enjoyable. During the roasting process, the beans undergo many complex and alternatively change in the physicochemical properties from the gained substances in the fermentation process. The changing in the formation of the substances responsible for the sensory qualities, physicochemical/ aroma attributes as well as the health benefits of the final product. Using the starter culture could also develop the distinguished characteristics of coffee (Research collaboration with Van Hart company)

Otitis Media is an infection of the middle ear that can occur in individuals of all ages. Diagnosis typically involves analyzing images taken with an otoscope by specialized physicians, which relies heavily on medical experience to expedite the process. This research introduces computer vision technology to assist in the preliminary diagnosis, aiding expert decision-making. By utilizing deep learning techniques and convolutional neural networks, specifically the YOLOv8 and Inception v3 architectures, the study aims to classify the disease and its five characteristics used by physicians: color, transparency, fluid, retraction, and perforation. Additionally, image segmentation and classification methods were employed to analyze and predict the types of Otitis Media, which are categorized into four types: Otitis Media with Effusion, Acute Otitis Media with Effusion, Perforation, and Normal. Experimental results indicate that the classification model performs moderately well in directly classifying Otitis Media, with an accuracy of 65.7%, a recall of 65.7%, and a precision of 67.6%. Moreover, the model provides the best results for classifying the perforation characteristic, with an accuracy of 91.8%, a recall of 91.8%, and a precision of 92.1%. In contrast, the classification model that incorporates image segmentation techniques achieved the best overall performance, with an mAP50-95 of 79.63%, a recall of 100%, and a precision of 99.8%. However, this model has not yet been tested for classifying the different types of Otitis Media.

The Diabetes Meal Management Application is a digital health tool designed to empower Type 2 diabetic patients in managing their diet and blood sugar levels more effectively. With features like personalized meal recommendations, nutrient tracking, and seamless integration with wearable blood glucose monitors via Blood sugar measuring device (CGM), the application enables users to monitor glucose fluctuations in real time and adjust dietary choices accordingly. Built with the Flutter framework and supported by a backend of Express.js and MongoDB, the application prioritizes a user-friendly interface, ensuring easy navigation and encouraging consistent engagement with meal planning and health tracking. Preliminary user trials show that the application contributes to more stable blood sugar levels and improved adherence to dietary recommendations, helping users reduce health risks associated with diabetes complications. By offering a proactive approach to diabetes management, the application reduces the need for frequent clinical interventions, thus potentially lowering medical costs over time. This project highlights the promising role of digital health solutions in supporting personalized diabetes care, emphasizing the potential for scalable, user-centered interventions that foster long-term health improvements for diabetic patients.
