Welcome to Team TIA
Inspiration
We're a team of women in clinical and health technology looking to improve the lives of aging participants through innovative voice detection and sentiment analysis with an intelligent digital companion application. TIA refers to your aunt or close female relative who knows how to check on your daily health while tracking against life threatening events like TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) or stroke.
The Challenge: Someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds. Every 4 minutes, someone dies of stroke. Patients who arrive at the emergency room within 3 hours of their first symptoms often have less disability 3 months after a stroke than those who received delayed care. Tools that help a medical team to quickly identify stroke can help save $40,000,000 per 100,000 population. Stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability. Nearly 1 of 4 stroke survivors have had a previous stroke.
What it does
TIA will provide users & their caregivers access to integrated custom rehabilitation planning, personalized care plans and curated resources to quickly recognize and prevent a stroke. Health tracking of potentially life threatening events like TIA or stroke using dynamic Q&A assessment.
How I built it
Team TIA will develop a multi-tiered approach to pre-stroke diagnosis, rehabilitation, and prevention of recurrence. Our innovative mobile application for medical staff to use in clinic or at home assessment to better manage and quickly determine the risk of a fatal event.
Challenges I ran into
Focusing and unifying the wide range of symptoms and outcomes of a pre-stroke event is a challenge. From a design thinking perspective, we wanted to simplify how the user would interact with TIA, by minimizing text with mostly dynamic voice capture for analysis.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
TIA a lovable digital companion. Keeping our project simple while still getting the point across with an efficient solution to analyze subtle but compelling changes in sentiment and voice and related daily health.
What I learned
We learned to keep the requirements lean. We learned how to simplify and prioritize the most important features for our MVP.
What's next for Team TIA
Complete the entire workflow and interaction design for emotional well-being and activities of daily living after a stroke, including characterizing the user's baseline. The more TIA takes care of you, the more time you can enjoy with your loved ones living a healthy life.
