If you are looking for ideas, pick one of the ideas provided below:
1) Mobile-based graphics fusion workflow (Med-Streaming)
Graphic Fusion Workflow™ allows physicians to create treatment plans or develop clinical findings by drawing on specialty-based diagrams. GFW technology provides a graphical history and sketches library containing different parts of the anatomy. The drawings correlate with the database and create structured language, further supporting the quest to create minable data in all facets of the digital solution. An encounter that might have required 15 to 20 clicks and many minutes of time in a typical EMR platform would only take a few seconds using this new technology. These types of technologies also create communication efficiencies by providing a visual medical history, which quickly orients the physician to the patient’s past procedures and diagnostic studies. The purpose of this project is to create a mobile application that allows graphics fusion workflow through the following
- Displays a list of exams
- When the user clicks on an exam, open the graphics fusion workflow showing the anatomy for the vascular tree
- Allow the user to click on certain tools like stenosis or aneurysm using touch-based tool
- A backend SQL database
Bonus
- show a stenosis trend overtime by click on the anatomy
2) Aorta CT surgery planning (Mentor: Med-Streaming)
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized enlargement of the abdominal aorta such that the diameter is greater than 3 cm or more than 50% larger than normal diameter. They usually cause no symptoms except when ruptured (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_aortic_aneurysm). Surgery planning is the preoperative method of pre-visualising a surgical intervention and the devices that will be used during intervention such as stent grafts (http://www.medtronic.com/us-en/patients/treatments-therapies/stent-graft-aaa/what-is-it.html). The purpose of this project is to develop a mobile based surgery planning tool using 3D models extracted from CT images with the following features
- simple exam list
- Load 3D mesh like STL with some segmentation like blood vessel, clots, stenosis ..etc.
- Zoom , rotate ...etc
- Plan stent placement procedure
Bonus
- show medical images synchronized with the center line inside the 3D mesh
3) Market place for in-house medical services (Mentor: Dr Mahmoud Ismail)
Many patients are not able to go to hospitals to receive the medical services they need. They need the service to be delivered at home instead. They need the service to be delivered at home either for convenience or because of blocking medical condition. Example, infants who have cold. Moreover, some of those patients need medical services at regular basis. For example elderly people who need urine catheters. The idea is to create a market place through a mobile app or website that allows patients to schedule in home medical service, same idea as Uber, Taskty, Airbnb.com…etc. The market place will connect patients to service providers who work individually or as a legal entity. See the ad below that shows how this business run now.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA or triple A)[6] is a localized enlargement of the abdominal aorta such that the diameter is greater than 3 cm or more than 50% larger than normal diameter.[1] They usually cause no symptoms except when ruptured.[1] Occasionally, abdominal, back, or leg pain may occur.[...
