Inspiration
What inspired me the most about this project was the potential impact that it could have on people's lives. Early detection of cancer can be the difference between life and death, and the fact that we have created a tool that could potentially save lives is truly inspiring.
What it does
Our website allows users to detect brain and lung cancer in the early stages, right now we focused on lung and brain cancer through a series of tests, this allows users to understand how they may be at risk and possibly consult a doctor.
How we built it
In terms of building the project, we utilized a variety of different technologies and techniques, including machine learning algorithms and data analysis tools. We used PyTorch, Python, and Pickle for the backend while utilizing HTML5, CSS3, and Jinja
Challenges we ran into
Of course, no project is without its challenges, and we faced our fair share of obstacles along the way. But through hard work, perseverance, and a dedication to our goal, we were able to overcome every challenge and create something truly amazing. For example, our neural network was only 20% accurate, but through vigorous work we were able to get it up to production.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to get this to a production-ready state in the limited amount of time we had. We designed a pretty website with a powerful backend.
What we learned
Throughout the course of this project, I have learned so much about the intricacies of cancer detection, as well as the importance of collaboration and teamwork. It was truly amazing to see everyone come together and contribute their unique skills and perspectives to create something truly special.
What's next for Brain Wave
Overall, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a talented and dedicated group of individuals. I truly believe that our project has the potential to make a real difference in the world, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. We plan to scale this up, use a more powerful calculation computer, and to expand to more types of cancer.
