Inspiration

The inspiration behind RadER stems from the critical shortage of radiologists, particularly in emergency departments (EDs) where timely diagnosis can be the difference between life and death. In these high-pressure environments, nurses and other healthcare professionals often struggle to get quick, accurate interpretations of radiological images due to the lack of specialized staff. RadER was developed to bridge this gap by using AI to rapidly analyze X-rays or other imaging and identify fractures, providing immediate, reliable feedback to nurses and supporting quicker treatment decisions.

What it does

RadER leverages artificial intelligence to scan radiological images—such as X-rays—detecting any fractures or abnormalities. It provides clear, visual feedback on where the fractures are located and whether there is a fracture at all. The AI can highlight areas of concern and outline the specific bone(s) affected, making it easier for medical staff, especially nurses without radiology expertise, to understand the severity and location of injuries. This results in faster triage and more informed decision-making.

How we built it

RadER was built using a combination of advanced machine learning algorithms and a full-stack tech infrastructure. The AI model was trained on a large dataset of annotated X-ray images to learn how to detect fractures with high accuracy. For the full-stack part, a web-based interface was developed, accessible by healthcare workers such as nurses or physicians in emergency settings.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

After extensive training and validation, RadER’s AI model is able to detect fractures with a high degree of accuracy, minimizing false positives and negatives.

What we learned

Building an AI system for healthcare requires continuous iteration, testing, and refining. Even after achieving a good model, real-world application often throws up edge cases that weren’t anticipated during development.

What's next for RadER

We plan to expand the scope of RadER to detect a wider range of injuries, including soft-tissue injuries or other internal medical conditions visible through imaging, such as tumors or hemorrhages.
