Inspiration

As a runner and an athlete who does both Cross Country and Track & Field, I know that injuries occur very often. I myself have been a victim of these injuries. Getting the right information about what kind of injury you have and how to treat may be hard, especially if you do not know what sustained the injury, whether it be a muscle, bone or tendon. To combat this problem, I have created Body Explorer.

What it does

Body Explorer is an application in which an image of the human body is given and the user can hover their mouse over different body parts to obtain the muscles and tendons in that region. The program will give the user basic information about the tendon/muscle which they can then use to help find whatever information they need.

How I built it

I built this entirely using Java.

Challenges I ran into

I had some trouble connecting the different components of the project together in a logical way. There are also some small bugs regarding the display of the information, where the information about the muscles/tendons will not display until the cursor is moved.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud of creating this working application in a short amount of time that I believe will be very helpful to other people once more data is added.

What I learned

I learned how to connect multiple interfaces to a component in order to send information between them. I also learned how to create components and add them to the screen in a way that will make it look not bad.

What's next for BodyExplorer

I plan to make it so BodyExplorer will also search for possible injuries that the user may have based on the muscles/tendons selected by the user.
