The problem Med Zone solves
- We have been forced to stay at home due to the pandemic, and people are doubtful about going out to consult doctors nowadays.
- People are opting towards online personal health care.
- As a result, we developed a personal care webapp that allows patients to consult doctors from the comfort of their own homes.
- There are over a million deaf and dumb people. In which there are over 75% of people who are uneducated.
- So we've devised MedZone as a solution to the problem, so that it is accessible to everyone, regardless of their disabilities, to consult a doctor online.
- Even the docotor who attends the patient didn't know any sign language. There willbe no more issues here after. We have trained a tensorflow model that encodes the hand gesture into text, which will be sent to the docotor at the other end.
- We also integrated a chat room and a video room to make this website useful for everyone.
Challenges we ran into
- Making an accurate gesture of handpose.
- Encoding handpose gesture to text.
- Creating a secure and private video and chat room for doctors and patients, respectively.
