Solving a Silent Ecological Collapse !

The problem Project Vulkyrie solves

A portable, affordable detection system to combat India's catastrophic 97% vulture decline by enabling veterinarians, conservation workers, and rural communities to instantly identify toxic Diclofenac in livestock carcasses. This field-deployable colorimetric technology makes early detection accessible and economical, protecting these vital ecosystem scavengers and reducing rabies transmission where current laboratory testing is prohibitively expensive and impractical. Enhanced with AI-powered concentration analysis, the system accurately assesses Diclofenac levels from the intensity of color change, determining if carcasses exceed lethal thresholds for vultures and enabling precise, data-driven decisions on safe disposal methods.

Challenges we ran into

  • The tcs3200 device not working properly, fixed by adjusting for blue light anomaly
  • Real time chemical tests for the formation of dataset to train Ml model
