🌌 Transforming Healthcare with AI: Our Hackathon Experience 💎

I’m thrilled to share my experience from the Gen AI Build with AI Hackathon, where I teamed up with a group of passionate innovators to develop LungLens—an AI-powered tool designed to make chest X-ray diagnostics more accessible and understandable for patients.

This project was more than just a prototype—it was a glimpse into how Generative AI can assist in modern healthcare with real-world impact.


🩺 What is LungLens?

LungLens is a medical AI tool built to support patients and healthcare professionals by analyzing chest X-rays using deep learning models. Here’s what it offers:

➡ Probability Graphs
Visual graphs predict the likelihood of common chest-related conditions, including:

  • Pneumonia
  • Lung nodules
  • Cardiomegaly

➡ AI Health Chatbot
A built-in conversational assistant acts like a personal medical consultant, capable of answering basic health queries and providing context-aware information for patients—no medical background required.

While LungLens is still in development and not 100% accurate yet, it demonstrates the potential of AI to democratize healthcare. Our focus remains on continuous improvement and safety in future iterations.
