Inspiration
Raise awareness for cancer after losing a relative
What it does
Estimates cancer risk based on medical and lifestyle information. Users enter details about their habits, family history, and health background. They receive a results page showing their personalized cancer risk percentage, a comparison chart with people of similar age, and personalized recommendations for next steps.
How we built it
Python, scikit-learn, pandas, Random Forest on a public Kaggle dataset, and tailwindCSS
Challenges we ran into
Limited dataset, basic preprocessing, 5h small timeline
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Built a working ML model, interactive risk charts, educational tool for awareness that people actually liked and thanked me for building
What we learned
ML model building, data preprocessing, Random Forest implementation, feature importance and UI designing
What's next for Cancer Prediction
Add more features, improve accuracy, expand dataset, explore other algorithms, and share with the world!
