Inspiration
My project is inspired by real patient safety problems like RSI when surgical tools are carelessly left inside a patient after surgery causing infections or even organ damage.
What it does
My website provides step by step guidelines specific to the surgery and notifications to remind doctors if they have corrected the basic steps. It will show the most basic step like all surgical instruments are counted before starting the surgery and ask the doctor to mark it as completed when done. It will digitally log each tool used during operation and track their usage status. To make it hands free I have incorporated voice assist where doctors can set a timer based on the priority of the step and get a voice assisted alert. Before closing the surgical site, the system will notify the team of any card marked as incomplete acting as a safeguard against human error.
How we built it
The app was built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Challenges we ran into
-Coming up with an innovative solution that was not of the existing solutions. -Faced problems integrating voice for the notifications. -Continuous integration of LLM with my website was challenging.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
-Being able come up with a solution that is helpful and addresses the existing problem. -Creating a functional website and being able to deploy it online
What we learned
Building a functional website using CSS, HTML and JavaScript
What's next for Health Guardian
