Inspiration
Chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Most people don’t understand how their daily choices impact long-term health risks, and current tools are either too complex or not personalized. We wanted to create something simple, engaging, and empowering, so that anyone can see their health future today.
What it does
HealthLens is an interactive health risk dashboard that:
Calculates personalized risk scores for conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.
Provides a “what-if” simulator where users can adjust lifestyle factors (weight, exercise, sleep, diet) and see how risks instantly change.
Visualizes data through intuitive dashboards and generates shareable reports for doctors or family members.
In short, HealthLens transforms raw health data into actionable insights, helping people make smarter decisions about their wellbeing.
How we built it
Frontend: Built with React + TailwindCSS for a clean, responsive user interface.
Visualization: Used Recharts for interactive graphs, gauges, and simulators.
Backend: Node.js running basic predictive analytics (Framingham risk score).
Collaboration: GitHub for version control and Vercel for deployment.
Challenges we ran into
Translating complex medical risk calculations into easy-to-understand visuals.
Ensuring data privacy and security, even in a prototype.
Designing the what-if simulator so it feels interactive yet medically grounded.
Accomplishments that I am proud of
Built a working prototype that calculates health risks in real time.
Designed a smooth, interactive dashboard that judges and users can play with.
Successfully demonstrated how small lifestyle changes can have a big impact on long-term health.
Created a tool that could genuinely help people have more informed conversations with their doctors.
What I learned
How to combine medical scoring systems with modern UI/UX to make data approachable.
The importance of designing with usability and empathy, not just accuracy.
What's next for HealthLens
Integrate with wearables and EHR systems for live data tracking.
Partner with healthcare providers to validate and refine risk calculations.
Add AI-driven personalized recommendations (diet plans, exercise routines, reminders).
Expand conditions covered (e.g., mental health, sleep disorders).
Make the dashboard available as a mobile app for everyday use.
