Speedy Hackers

Inspiration

We wanted to build a project that was both fun and educational, and we were especially interested in healthcare applications - combining this with the hackathon theme, the idea was born.

What it does

Following the instructions from the home page, the user is directed to another page to select an era from the past or present time. After this, the user is prompted to provide some information about their health history and lifestyle. Then they are "treated" by a doctor from the time era that they selected. During the treatment, the user can see the image of their doctor and their response. The doctor’s response consists of the likelihood of the individual to survive in the era, how many years they have left to live, and a short summary written in that era’s tone explaining that era’s implications in medicine. There is also an About section which provides some information about some of the key medical innovations until today, motive for the website, and details about the programmers. We also implemented an authentication feature.

How we built it

We developed our project on GitHub with separate branches. We connected to the openAI API with python code, gave it a prompt with placeholders, adjusted some attributes such as level of creativity, of which we use to display the outputted text and image on the screen. We used html and CSS for the general structuring of the website, and javascript for linking the pages together and some other functionalities. We connected the python and html files with flask. We created the authentication feature by using Google authentication.

Challenges we ran into

We were able to interact with OpenAI via a python file of which we struggled to link to the other html files at first. We fixed this by adjusting our project to be done with python flask.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are very proud that we were able to join all the different technologies together with python flask which we were not very familiar with. We are also proud of our time management and team work skills to finish a viable project on time. Our communication was also very powerful to be able to merge our work in the most efficient way possible given the time constraints. We are also proud of our unique idea over all and its fun, interactive and educational feel.

What we learned

We learned to use the OpenAI APIs, how to use python flask and create navigations, how to integrate Google authentication, and to connect so many technologies together. We also learned a lot of skills relating to merging separate workflows.

What's next for Speedy Hackers

If we were to continue this project for a longer time, we would add some data to adjust the responses of the AI agent to be even more certain that the text it generates is scientifically and historically related to the selected era. We would also like to expand our About page to provide more information about healthcare to make it even more educational. Further, futuristic implementations could be also featured in this page to present some ideas and challenges that we have regarding the medical field in the world.
