Receiver

A Receiver that analyses health stats of health tracker users to provide health advice

Inspiration: In this fast developing world, many people, including ourselves, are neglecting the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. This includes people’s lack of exercise, not eating well(obesity), and sleeping well(insomnia), staying up for random reasons. This has led to a negative impact on their physical and mental wellbeing. Their problems are heavily linked to them not knowing how to make informed choices about their diet, exercise regime and sleeping schedule. We wanted to solve this problem as health is wealth, and it is of the utmost importance that we ensure the health and wellbeing of our people. We want to make change to improve the health of people, however subtle, and this was our inspiration.

What it does: Users of health trackers can have their health data stored in a chip inside of the health trackers. The data includes the user’s frequency of exercise, heart rate, metabolism rate, sleeping quantity and quality, and much much more. ‘Receivers’ can be placed in different locations such as in restaurants, gyms, and even in the user’s home. This chip can be removed from the users health trackers and inserted into receivers (where they can be found) Using Artificial Intelligence or just lines of codes, the receiver can then analyse the data and give advice on the respective component of health the place is associated with.(Minimum viable product) For example, in a restaurant,the restaurant owner will type in the menu into the receiver, and sort in according to the type of food.(protein, carbohydrate, italian food, chinese food). Patrons who have health trackers can then insert their chip into the receiver. The receiver can then gather information about the health of the user. Taking into account factors such as the user’s body fat, metabolism rate, dietary restriction, as well as the user’s preferred type of foods, the receiver can then generate a list of the most optimal dishes from the restaurant that the user can order. A teenage boy who is underweight, has a high metabolism rate, and loves chinese food could be recommended fried rice , because the receiver has taken into account factors such as his health and preference of food. In exercising places such as the gym or parks, users can insert the chip into a receiver. The receiver can collate information about the users heart rate, steps taken per day, and recommend exercises the user can do to , be it strength training or just jogging.

How I built it: We have not fully completed the project yet, we only created a simple python code and small scratch presentation to illustrate how the product will work

-Building the full algorithm using python -Getting medical experts' advice on the specific numbers -Making sure the program is safe and protects the users’ privacy -Putting the program inside the receiver -Make the actual product -Trial run -Think of after sale product -publicising it and pushing it out onto the market -Get the government to endorse it -Attract restaurants, gyms, individuals to buy it -Hopefully as more people buy it, the receiver will become a nation wide movement

Whats next/What we would have done if we had more time/resources/funding(future plans):

  1. We would have consulted specialists and doctors to give advice on the specific numbers in our code(eg. What weight is a teenager considered underweight, what is a low metabolic rate)

  2. We would have made our code much more sophisticated and complex by including more factors that can affect one’s health(eg. More factors that affect one’s diet, in order for the generated result to be the most optimal for the user)

  3. We would have consulted programming experts to improve our code and ensure that our code is hack proof and the users’ data are safe

  4. We would have tried to include more features to our product, to make it more gem packed

  5. We would have thought about the business scalability, on how to publicise our product to attract more people, restaurant, and places to use our product

  6. We would have thought about our actual and after sale product, considering the aesthetical side of our product such as the design, packaging, colour, and also the ensuring that sufficient warranties are included to customers

  7. If this product really enters the market, we would take care of the technological aspect of the product, ensuring supply can meet demand
