SafeWalk A.I.

Inspiration

SafeWalk A.I. was inspired by a shared commitment to women's safety, prompting the team to create a solution that empowers and safeguards individuals walking alone.

What it does

SafeWalk A.I. offers a two-fold solution. It includes an innovative SMS sender that notifies trusted contacts with journey details and a safety measure utilizing AI to assess and communicate the safety level of the user's current location.

How we built it

The project was built through collaborative efforts, combining expertise in software development, AI, and user experience design. Technologies like JavaScript, React, TypeScript, Python, Flask, APIs, GeoPandas, Binary Classification, and a Geographically Weighted Regression model were employed.

Challenges we ran into

Overcoming challenges in integrating the SMS sender, refining the AI model, deploying the AI model onto the front-end application, and ensuring seamless user experience posed hurdles. The team worked diligently to find solutions and optimize the application.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of how much we've learned in these 48 hours, and all the technologies we were exposed to. Our team learned how to develop our API using Flask to integrate our AI model onto the front end. Our team was also exposed to front-end development where we were challenged to design a visually appealing user interface.

What we learned

We learned how to communicate well to ensure that any changes didn't cause conflicts within our repository. Additionally, we learned about all the different ways one problem could be solved and how much is possible with technology and passion.

What's next for SafeWalk A.I.

Looking ahead, SafeWalk A.I. aims to expand its impact, possibly incorporating additional safety features, expanding to new locations, and continuously refining the AI model for enhanced accuracy and efficiency.
