Eye Health Care Desktop App
Hey fellow hackers,
So a while ago I got this idea of a desktop app which helps people, who spend most of their day staring at computer screens, keep their eyes healthy.
The app will have a set of exercises for the eye balls (like rotating eye ball clockwise and anti-clockwise etc). Users will be rated when their exercise finishes (ratings will be carried out by a combination of Computer vision algorithms that I have customized for this purpose, laptop's webcam will record and analyse eye movements). These exercises will be carried out 3-4 times a day.
Let me know what you think about this.
Cheers!
Sounds like a cool idea.
An even better one would be to just take data from eyes and train them to look for early-stage glaucoma.
Using say TensorflowJS with federated learning you can send the model to the browser, analyze the eyes, and then give a probability of eyesight degeneration. Then update the model and send back only the update. So the personal data never leaves the computer.
or use OpenMined to do this (see: https://github.com/OpenMined).
The business model is just giving a probability of score that is non-medically binding. Then charge $1 - $10 (or whatever can keep the lights running but is an order of magnitude less than the doctor would charge) per analysis.
The real value is training a model on users computers, not having sensitive data on your servers, and having something that predicts pretty well.
Hence the value is the model, NOT the data. You reduce risk and still have a model.
See this paper for a start. Though there are more:

thats a good idea, kind of like f.lux.
I'd split it into free and premium features if I was to make it.
