Inspiration
Came across state of art portable ultrasound device usable on smartphones. We wanted to build a full solution by analyzing the ultrasound images produced by this device and removing the user's need to go to the hospital.
What it does
Analyzes the image captured by the portable ultrasound device and calculates the probability of a cardiac health complication present within the user.
How I built it
Used a machine learning framework called Tensorflow and Python.
Challenges I ran into
First time dealing with machine learning, big learning curve, numerous small bugs, had to sample numerous frameworks before settling with Tensorflow. Biggest challenge: not enough data to train algorithm.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Got the neural net/image classifier working.
What I learned
Machine learning.
What's next for Lil' Ultrasound
Improve the accuracy of the algorithm by collecting more data. Expanding the scope of the algorithm to other applicable body parts such as the liver, kidneys, etc.
