Inspiration

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, medical consultations for non-urgent conditions are switched to online. Current telemedicine apps only provide video consultation and electronic medical records. Limited health information can be collected and the diagnosis process is ineffective.

Our idea is to increase the amount of useful information collected to aid diagnosis including facial recognition, voice recognition, and vital signs.

What it does

  • Patients can sign up with their email, name, and create a password

  • Patients can log in with their email and password

  • Patients can upload their photos to the system

  • Patients can get the results link from the system and forward to their doctor

  • Doctors will be notified by SMS when their patients upload a picture & report link is generated

  • Doctors can get the photo patients uploaded and the analysis by texting usernames

  • Eye analysis (crossed eyes, glycemia, cataract etc.) and water retention diagnosis

How we built it

  • Low fidelity wireframe using Balsamiq

  • High fidelity wireframe using Figma

  • front-end development with vue and element UI

  • back-end development with flask

  • features to send images and analysis after texting username using Twilio API

  • feature to notify the doctor by SMS when their patients upload a picture & report link is generated

  • Google could vision API for facial recognition

  • Trained machine learning model with keras

Challenges we ran into

We have limited datasets to train the model, thus the accuracy rate can be further improved with more labeled datasets. Also, cloud vision API does not support uploading only eye images (we have to upload image of the whole face), so we need to experiment with HaarCascadeClassfier from OpenCV.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have completed the UI design of the whole app, trained machine learning models to detect eye diseases and water retention, and the working prototype can be accessed via here

What we learned

We learn how to use Twilio to automatically send message and reply to a text from user, element UI and vue for front-end development.

What's next for Prognomic

New Features

Patients

  • Patients can upload images of other parts of the body

Doctor portal

  • Doctors can sign up with their work email, name, and create a password

  • Doctors can log in with their email and password

  • Doctors can import patient record or add patients during onboarding

  • Doctors can request photos from patients to upload to the system

  • Doctors can view the photos in the system and the machine learning model results

  • Doctors can add comments/ medications/ recommendations/ medical conditions to patient’s record
