Inspiration
Borden the domain of engineering by using it in real world problems like in healthcare.
What it does
The viral kinematics simulator determines the concentration of virus in different compartments of the cell. In this case three.
How we built it
This was build on an engineering formula of LU Decomposition that can be used to substitute the values of given drug/ medicine and yield in concentration of virus mathematically. The LU Decomposition code was initially written for an nxn matrix for any whole number 'n' in C#. This was then called upon by a python script to deploy the page.
Challenges we ran into
Limited by the knowledge to accomplish for a larger square/diagonal matrix with each compartment of cell with virus count. Used a csv file to define pre existing data. I've limited knowledge to how one can lay hands on this data biologically.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
To use an engineering idea in a completely different domain and obtain satisfactory results.
What we learned
Virus tend to multiply only after reaching a certain junction in the human body/cell, by changing the values of matrix A we can optimize the drug to minimize the multiplication of the virus.
What's next for Viral Kinematics Simulator
To extend the example for a larger matrix with more compartments of the cell for more precise locations.
