Inspiration
The inspiration for this project was taken from the fact that lung cancer is a leading cause of deaths in America and is also a way to raise awareness in the vaping epidemic which is on the rise amongst youths. This application is also a way to help without any healthcare to not waste their money by getting tests everytime they feel off and gives them a probable chance from which the user would decide whether they would like to consult a professional
What it does
The app uses data given to it by the user and predicts the probability that the user has lung cancer and if they need to consult a healthcare professional
How we built it
We used the firebase database to import our database and used the Vertex AI to create a model that would predict the probability of lung cancer. We also used readct native for front end and expo as a tool for checking the mobile app.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into challenges when training our model since there wasn't enough data in our datasets as there was every limited research done on risk factors of lung cancer so it took a fair bit of time to scrape/find data.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of the model working effectively and the results it produced was very favourable.
What's next for Check Your Lungs
We can expand our application into not just checking for lung cancer, but also other types of cancer, some which are very hard to figure out and require ultrasounds or x-ray scans which would require cooperation with a health care institution.
