Helping without Judging

The problem Hawking solves

Recent advancements in Machine Learning have enabled us to understand man and
disease better, and today with technology easily and cheaply available we can make a
huge difference when it comes to detecting and coping with diseases which are largely
deemed untreatable by modern medicine.
The project Hawking, like the man himself aims to tackle Autism, Depression and
Parkinson. Three unfortunately common diseases that people fail to get any clue
about. Knowing about these diseases is critical to treating and addressing them in
time, lest they have rather unfortunate results.

Challenges we ran into

Integration of machine learning with our web and android app was certainly the biggest hurdle we faced during the development. Combining these individually completed projects and making sure everything works almost took half of the hacking time and effort. However, help from other participants, mentors and online materials allowed us to overcome it.
