Healthy Analytics

Globally, hospitals have a lack of prediction and prevention of diseases and various health issues, inefficient patient-hospital relationships and communication, high cost and waiting to receive treatment, inefficient personalized health plans for individuals, and hospital readmissions. When hospitals face these issues, the individuals who utilize their services suffer from them. All the issues mentioned above relate back to my solution as my solution aims to solve these issues. For example, if a patient is hypertensive and is checking their blood pressure, they detect an increase in the last 3 readings. The patient is usually responsible for calling the doctor and informing their care team, waiting for a call back from the doctor for their appointment. Then, the patient should decide whether they should inform their family, which may or may not be dangerous for them.

My solution is a SaaS (Software as a Service) that utilizes machine learning and predictive analytics technology to perform a risk analysis, devises a personalized health and medical plan, bridges the communication gap between patients and hospitals, simplifies medical jargon, organizes health information and schedules, and has strong data security. To put it simply, my solution is an app in which you can upload any electronic health records or family records. After, you can connect to various machines, and the AI integrated in the app will take the data and perform risk analysis. Using AI, we can build an individual and family health and personal database app with due respect to privacy, which will empower the patient and patient family in enhancing care/influencing positive healthcare outcomes. However, individual access to healthcare data is complex with insufficiencies, even for tech-savvy people. For example, using the same scenario explained previously, when a patient is having 3 continuous readings of high blood pressure, the blood pressure monitor can communicate with our tool to provide the reading, informing the patient regarding the change in blood pressure readings. The tool can connect with the physician/their caretaker, making them aware of the patient’s needs (notifications sent to the physician and patient care team with a short history and recent readings to change the medication or scheduled dose if required and this can happen in real-time). 

The target population whose lives are working to directly and meaningfully improve include immigrants and elderly people. Being an immigrant, learning and adapting to an environment outside your home country feels hard and difficult. It is already hard enough moving into a completely new country especially if you don't have any close friends or family living there. For elderly people, they tend to be less technologically inclined and don't have a good understanding of the technology around them or how to use it. So it's more of a pain to them when they have a health issue and are trying to contact doctors and physicians for assistance. My solution aims to address their needs in two parts. Starting off with immigrants, our app will be able to translate the language of the entire app to fit any language the user reads and speaks. I am planning on including all major languages such as English, Spanish, French, etc. This will allow immigrants to easily understand our app. This along with the navigatable user interface will help them easily access the functions of the app and also find nearby hospitals. Ending with elderly folk, our app includes an easy-to-use user interface which will make the app more appealing to use. I plan on adding an accessibility feature in which you can change the size of the text and the color of the background of the app so that it can also help any people with vision problems and color blindness. While the app is focused don't these two target populations, I plan to make the app of use to everyone who uses the hospitals for services. They can correctly diagnose the patient's problem or disease, have real-time messages directly with any nearby hospitals or the patient's personal doctor that will message them any data or analytics the AI found, and recommend actions for the patient to take in regards to the doctor's and physician's advice.

I am confident that I am the right person to design and deliver this solution to the target population due to the past experiences I had with the very problem I am trying to solve. Back in 2009, my grandfather had suffered from a heart attack out of the blue. My family and I were going along with our lives and we didn't expect my grandfather to suddenly collapse. We thought he had a healthy diet, normal blood pressure, etc. However, we didn't properly measure the various health metrics. And by the time the emergency care team from the hospital came, it was too late, and my grandfather unfortunately passed away. This obviously was very sad for me to hear. But, I was determined to find a solution to try to prevent this scenario from happening to anyone else. My design and implementation of my solution are meaningfully guided by the communities’ input, ideas, and agendas because I frequently communicate with my mentors, peers, and everyday people about my ideas. Thus I have started working closely with multiple professors and hospitals to try to see if my solution is worth implementing and have even told my parents to gain their input on this solution. All of them have given me valuable insight which has allowed my idea to become better. 

I have built the idea and concept surrounding Healthy Analytics but have yet to make an actual app for it. As of now, I am focusing on perfecting the idea and building a solid foundation that I can follow. I have served my local community by telling them my idea and them giving any feedback necessary to make the app a proper and successful process. 

The specific barriers I hope solve can help me overcome include technical, and market barriers. I hope Solve can help me connect to like-minded individuals who have the same goals for this idea that I do. I also hope that through Solve, my idea can be marketed everywhere so I have a larger customer base for when I realize my app to the public. On the technological aspect, I hope Solve can help me jumpstart my app by providing suggestions for improvements that need to be made on my app or just features I should be worth considering in the app. 

My solution approaches the problem of  in a significantly improved way because of the use of Al and its abilities, along with the communication the app has with other parts of the healthcare sector such as the hospital, physician, patient's care team, and patient's family. Using Al, I incorporate real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, and data-crunching abilities. Also, the ability to base it on your privacy may allow consumers to use our app more as. it respects their own privacy, Our app includes other customizable features such as meditation times, daily lifestyle recommendations, and goals for health, which can lead to more user engagement. Overall, our app connects one side of the healthcare, being patients, to the other side, being doctors.  

My solution utilizes Al's abilities such as real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, and data crunching abilities to offer a unique and superior approach to the way healthcare teams should reach patients. This decrease in the amount of time it takes for the emergency care team to reach can be the difference between life and death. While providing personalized health plans such as meditation times, daily lifestyle recommendations, and goals for health, this approach also results in an increase in communication between the hospital and the patients. The real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, and data crunching abilities will constantly check for any changes in the metrics being tracked, and use the Al to observe the trend and seek out any major differences. Also, the communication aspect between the two parties often delays the response time that the emergency care team will take. However, our app allows physicians to receive live notifications about the patient's well-being. I have also gathered data from Dr. Keerthi who said "The five areas that are tacked by Healthy Analytics are important an practical issues faced by people. Providing useful resources and guidance on how to prevent chronic diseases and cancer can alleviate concerns patient may have in regard to their risk of getting those diseases." More specifically, Dr. Keerthi has taken a liking to our idea and using her feedback, I am sure I can have reduce the impact of the problems I am trying to fix.

Some impact goals I have for my solution include better resource allocation for hospitals so that they can focus their resources on a widespread disease, the empowerment of healthcare workers so healthcare workers can provide better services to patients, the decrease in health disparities because the app provides an in-depth review of the patient, increased economic development by reducing healthcare costs, and to support public health initiatives because of the data our app will provide them. I am measuring my progress towards them through a variety of means. One means includes social media in which we can host some events to support any public health initiatives, especially on the local scale. Another means includes my communication with the hospitals that the app will be associated with the app so I can track the progress of their workers and the allocation of their resources.

Some key resources that will allow me to make my idea a reality are the vast knowledge about Al's ability, specifically its predictive analysis and data crunching abilities. Using Al, I incorporate real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, and data-crunching abilities. Because the app cares about privacy, it will allow consumers to use our app more. We plan on using advanced predictive analytic technology, data integration and analysis, personalized health solutions, enhanced patient-hospital communication, and robust security and privacy measures.
