Calculate their risk of Heart Disease in less than the time it takes for you to read this out!

The problem Cardio Compass solves

Provide a platform for users to enter their information and from the data provided, we would inform them of their risk for having a heart attack. Not everyone can afford to get expensive heart screens regularly. As an alternative, we plan to translate data from a simple blood test available easily and result in a risk of heart rate. The fields we ask for are Age, Cholesterol, Heart Rate, Diabetes, Smoking, Obesity, Alcohol Consumption, Exercise Hours Per Week, Diel_Healthy, Diet_Unhealthy, BMI< Triglycerides, Sex, etc. Not everyone can comprehend what a simple blood test is trying to say. In Future steps, we are planning to secure access to authentic and diverse health data from reliable sources. Our final goal is to detect heart disease risk by simply uploading a PDF or image of the simple blood test available widely in contrast to ECGs. This was because people from countries/areas with scarce access to healthcare can know if they need to get a complex screening at a very low cost. This can be a breakthrough for predicting health diseases in the early stages.

Challenges we ran into

We could not find a reliable and diverse dataset that represents all demographics and diverse health vitals. This prevented us to give perfect analysis/prediction of Heart Risk that we would easily be able to given access to proper licensed datasets. However, we played the cards we were handed and tried numerous iterations of various models and finally locked one. Despite the fact that we couldn't find a proper dataset, we were able to come up with a brilliant idea that does not exist in the current market. A noble idea that helps a person with very limited access to health screenings or financial struggles.
