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.
  • Machine Learning Algorithms: Processes sensor data to predict recovery status in real-time.

Challenges we Ran Into

Building OrthoPredict was a rewarding yet challenging experience. Some of the key challenges included:

  • Data Accuracy: Ensuring the MPU 6050 sensor provided accurate and consistent data was crucial.
