Inspiration
In the current technological landscape, advancements are progressing at an unprecedented rate. However, the healthcare infrastructure catering to the senior population has not kept pace with this rapid evolution. Our team's motivation stemmed from observational data and firsthand accounts, particularly noting the challenges our older family members and acquaintances confronted in the neighborhood. Our analysis indicated that the elderly demographic's difficulties were not confined to medical issues; they extended to daily life management, maintaining interpersonal relationships, and mental health stability. The term "Golapi" translates to "rose" in the Bengali language, symbolizing the delicate nature and specialized care that senior individuals necessitate. Consequently, we conceptualized and initiated the Golapi Care project.
What it does
We're trying to identify Mild Cognitive Impairment symptoms among the elderly by identifying and classifying different behavioral and sensor data. Specifically, we're using wearable sensor data that is readily available and accessible to everyone.
How we built it
For the front end, we're using HTML, CSS, and JS and for the back end, we're using Python. Firstly we're authenticating the user and connecting to their main health wearable device by authenticating through Terra API. We then fetch the data using webhooks to our local machine using port forwarding from Terra API. Later we process and clean the data and compare them to the data that's from an MCI patient's wearable device and try to find patterns.
Challenges we ran into
Bad API integration, bad pipeline management, backend webhook management problems, bad time management, unable to complete project on time
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We finally managed to interface with the API without any backend experience.
What we learned
proper understanding of RESTful APIs, webhooks, HTTP requests, data management, communication between front end and back end, port forwarding, handling requests and returning responses in a local server setting etc backend stuff
What's next for Golapi Care
we'll try and finish our product along with hardware integration
