👁️ SymLens

Through the lens of your symptoms."

Built for the HP AI Studio Hackathon 2025 – Healthcare Category

🔍 Overview

SymLens is an on-device AI-powered visual symptom simulator that allows patients to turn hard-to-describe visual disturbances—like migraine aura, floaters, photopsia, and visual snow—into realistic images. Built using HP AI Studio’s compact vision-language models, SymLens enables clearer, faster communication between patients and clinicians, all while preserving privacy with fully local inference.

🩺 Problem Statement

Many patients, especially in neurology and ophthalmology, struggle to explain what they see. Whether it’s flickering lights, translucent blobs, or static-like vision, these experiences are often:

Misunderstood by clinicians
Poorly documented in medical records
Emotionally distressing for patients

No current tool allows personalized, visual communication of subjective symptoms in a fast, secure, and interactive way.

💡 Solution

SymLens bridges the gap between symptom and sight. Users simply describe what they see, and SymLens generates realistic, AI-powered visual renderings. These can be exported, refined, or used in clinical visits—helping doctors diagnose more accurately and giving patients the confidence that they’re being understood.
