Press Releases

Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) announced AnemoDx, coded by Isabella Li, Hiya Pandey, and Anya Mehta from Redmond High School, as the winner of the 2025 Congressional App Challenge from Washington’s 1^st Congressional District.

AnemoDx is an app that serves as a non-invasive, early warning system for people with anemia by helping users estimate their hemoglobin levels and alert them if they are too high or too low. It encourages users to seek out medical attention when necessary, making it especially useful to those who are prone to anemia and people in underprivileged or rural areas who may have limited access to regular blood tests or healthcare facilities. A demo of AnemoDx can be found here.

The winning app was selected by a panel of impartial judges from our local technology community.

The panel also awarded second place to BillBrain, created by Abhinav Bandaru, Vishvath Vinesh, Lohith Thimmichetty, and Ghirish Senthil Kumar from Lake Stevens High School, and third place to SwiftPermit, created by Arron Randhawa, Rohan Chilikuri, and Ishwin Baweja from Lake Washington High School.

AnemoDx will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for the next year, along with winning apps from other congressional districts.
