Inspiration
The inspiration for OrthoPredict came from recognizing the immense inconvenience and challenges faced by patients with fractures in regularly visiting doctors. This inspired us to create a solution that enables remote monitoring and timely consultations, thus making the recovery process smoother and more efficient for both patients and healthcare providers.
What it Does
- Captures Real-Time Data: Uses MPU 6050 sensors to monitor bone rotation angles.
- Predicts Recovery Progress: Employs machine learning algorithms to analyze data and predict recovery stages.
- Sends Reports: Automatically generates and sends recovery reports to doctors.
- Remote Consultations: Facilitates remote consultations, reducing the need for frequent hospital visits.
- Secure Data Storage: Stores all patient data on Google Cloud for secure and easy access.
How we Built it
OrthoPredict is built using a combination of modern technologies to ensure accuracy, reliability, and ease of use:
- MERN Stack:
- Frontend: Developed with React.
- Backend: Managed with Node.js and Express.
- Database: MongoDB for data storage.
- IoT Devices: Utilized MPU 6050 sensors to capture bone movement data.
- Google Cloud Storage: Ensures secure and scalable data storage.
- Flask: Bridges the IoT devices and machine learning algorithms.
