Inspiration
The challenge we chose was to use AI in healthcare. So we made a program that can assess a percent correlation between the user's symptoms and the symptoms of a variety of cancers. Also, we are beginner programmers so we thought it would be a good challenge.
What it does
It takes user's input from a checklist of symptoms and compares it with our database. The user then receives a list of any types of cancer that correlate with their symptoms as well as an exact percent correlation.
How we built it
We used HTML and CSS for the front end. Flask and Python for the back end. Along with pythonanywhere to host the domain.
Challenges we ran into
The whole project was a challenge for us, but in a good way. As it was an amazing learning experience. Previously we all only knew python, but throughout the project we learned Flask, HTML and CSS.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The website taking user inputs and visually displaying outputs. Along with how it can determine an exact percent correlation between the user symptoms and our database of a variety of cancers and their symptoms.
What we learned
We learned HTML, CSS and Flask while we worked through the project, as I said previously we, only knew Python before this weekend. So we are very happy with how much we were able to learn and put together in such a short period of time, even if it looks a bit basic to more advanced programmers.
What's next for Cancer Detection AI
Incorporating a bot that can parse through databases constantly updating the website's database with the most relevant info, and expanding it to be even more helpful. We would also like to implement a search engine feature that would replace the long checklist on the main page. As well as improve the general UI such as the background as it is admittedly a little bland right now.
