Inspiration
Our friend's grandmother grew up in a rural village in northern India and was a teacher there for 30 years before immigrating to Canada in the 1980s. In Canada, she continued her dedication, helping to raise her grandchildren for 40 years. She was strong and healthy but began to show signs of dementia in her later years. Communication became challenging as she could only recognize familiar voices. In her final years, caregivers struggled to communicate with her in palliative care. This is where CareLink can help, using AI-generated voices of family members to facilitate better communication with dementia patients.
What it does
CareLink leverages AI and voice cloning to assist caregivers in communicating effectively with dementia patients. Our platform provides tools to improve patient engagement, monitor health, and support care coordination.
How we built it
We build our app around the following tech stack
- Frontend and Backend: Next.js
- Database: MongoDB
- Hosting: Vercel
- Text-to-Speech/voice cloning API: ElevenLabs
Challenges we ran into
- Integrating API with the frontend.
- Understanding the target user audience
- Deciding and targeting particular idea
- Getting Users
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Well developed interactive/easy to use UI/UX website
- Successful integration of APIs resulting in actual cloning of user voices
- Helping caregivers to help dementia patients
What we learned
- Using Elevenlabs API's and app itself
- Using AI to solve a real life problem making it accessible to the people in need
What's next for CareLink
- Looking for potential grants/investment to roll out further features and making it available to a wider range of users
- Building our own voice cloning model and deploying on some decentralized solution to ensure privacy and robustness
- Adding further advanced AI features, integration with hospital systems, emotion detection, and personalized care plans. Community support, gamification, multi-language support, and additional accessibility enhancements.
