Synapse Safari

Inspiration

We wanted to create an engaging platform that combines fun activities with early detection of cognitive decline. Our goal was to make users more aware of their brain health while keeping the experience playful and interactive.

What it does

Synapse Safari allows users to:

  • Create personal profiles
  • Play reaction-based games, earning scores based on speed and accuracy
  • Solve logical and mathematical quizzes that help detect cognitive patterns
  • Undergo AI-powered Alzheimer detection using CT scans
  • Perform speech analysis by describing images or talking about their day
  • Interact with a chatbot via a Groq API
  • Track progress and scores through a personalized dashboard

How we built it

The project is built with React for the frontend. Key technical aspects include:

  • A pre-trained ONNX Alzheimer detection model, running entirely in-browser for immediate predictions
  • Speech analysis tools to evaluate cognitive markers
  • A Groq API-powered chatbot for guidance and interaction
  • Dynamic dashboards built with React components to visualize user progress

We also used mathematical scoring formulas for games and quizzes. For example, the reaction-based game score (S) is computed as:

[ S = \frac{\text{Base Points}}{\text{Reaction Time (seconds)}} \times \text{Accuracy Factor} ]

Challenges we ran into

  • Running AI models directly in the browser without a server
  • Designing quizzes and games that are both fun and cognitively meaningful
  • Integrating multiple features seamlessly while keeping the UI intuitive
  • Ensuring real-time performance for speech and CT scan analysis

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Fully functional browser-based Alzheimer detection using ONNX
  • Smooth integration of games, quizzes, chatbot, and dashboards
  • An interactive user experience that combines fun and cognitive assessment

What we learned

  • How to deploy AI models in-browser for real-time predictions
  • Importance of UX design for multi-feature applications
  • Effective teamwork and rapid prototyping under hackathon constraints

What's next for Synapse Safari

  • Expand AI capabilities and detection accuracy
  • Add more games and quizzes for deeper cognitive assessment
  • Introduce social or competitive features to increase engagement
  • Explore mobile-friendly deployment for a wider reach
