Inspiration
I was inspired by the way people are using computer to tackle problems in the health sector like detecting diseases and treating the patients early
What it does
It takes a photo of the patient's skin, uploads the image into an api hosted online and then using the hosted model.Then a prediction is made on what type of cancer depending on the image
How I built it
Used pytorch to build a model and then used python to build a flask app that provides an api to be consumed. Then used java to build an android app to consume the api
Challenges I ran into
The app works better on a photo from an actual skin and not a picture of a skin
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I managed to complete the project in time
What I learned
I learned not to give up when faced with a challenge
What's next for skin cancer detector
Plan to train the model more to be able to improve on the accuracy of my prediction
