About this app
On December 28th, 2018, I received the shocking news that my Dad was hospitalized having got Stroke, this news was like none I have ever received, it was unimaginable because we have no prerecorded family history of this ailment. This ushered my family into a difficult phase. Asides from the enormous expenses that come with managing Stroke, the discomfort it brings can be extremely emotionally draining for the patient and the caregiver(s). On several nights, my dad was rushed to hospital and taken to emergency wards to prevent a recurrence of a stroke crisis, a recurrence can be severe as he is already a Stroke patient. In general, we had to face a lot of financial challenges and at the same time made efforts to ensure we kept being joyful. My family’s experiences in these last three years kept me pondering on how I can contribute to the mitigation of occurrence for such a deadly disease that has the ability to steal amazing moments from a family. Indeed, it is really not an experience you would want your loved ones to witness and in extension; humanity. This led me to think of building a solution that could help create more awareness and a need for medical checkups on the part of people. The aim is to mitigate the occurrence of Stroke; the second deadliest disease in the world.Mike.ai is a stroke prediction quizzer that uses machine learning to perform predictions based on user's responses to some quiz questions. Launching the app will introduce the question pages, a set of 11 questions, targeted at some personal information and lifestyle factors. The answer provided by the user is passed to a custom machine learning model trained from a dataset of over 5000 stroke data found on Kaggle. The model makes predictions of a stroke occurrence or not. If there's a likelihood for a stroke to occur, the user can send a stroke prediction report to his/her email. If there's no likelihood of a stroke, the user can start the quiz afresh or choose to exit the application.
