Health Pal

CONFIRMATION: We are an officially registered team for Melbourne Hack 2021 Kumaraguru T Bhuvanesh T G

Inspiration

We wanted to help developers, IT workers, gamers and everyone who uses computer continuously for a long time by making this project. Health Pal is a health companion which can run on almost any desktop!

What it does

Health Pal is a cross-platform desktop application that takes care of your health when you work on your computer.

Using Deep Learning - we periodically monitor the user for detecting :

• Heart beats per minute (BPM)
• Body posture
• Fatigue
• Screen time

Additionally, we also have features like :

• Mood based songs (Plays a motivational song if you look sad)
• Desktop notifications where you have a bad posture
• Data visualization as graphs

How we built it

We built the desktop application using Electron JS. We also used a Flask server to perform the image processing (OpenCV) and Deep learning (PyTorch)

Challenges we ran into

• Time management was the hardest
• We had very less time left for making the video and we couldn't really cover all the features in it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Team work
• Having a project submitted successfully.
• We are really satisfied with the outcome of our project in such a short time!
• This is one of the most technically complex projects we've worked on!

What we learned

• We learnt Electron JS.
• We got to know about PyTorch.
• Got an idea of how to use Flask along with Electron.
• Data visualization using JS.
• Packaging and exporting an electron project as executable
• We learnt really alot about image processing with OpenCV.
• We discovered some really cool npm packages!
