Project History

Project Gravitar was created during the MYMI HISS program of 2021/2022, a 12-week intensive program backed by MYMI, MIME and Monash Partners.

​

Progress you’ve made:

  • During the program, we adopted the Biodesign Innovation Process.

  • We validated the clinical gap in the medical pathway of predicting the pregnancies disorders 

 

Achievements so far:

  • Our team has successfully made a machine learning prediction model for GDM with an accuracy of 84% and AUC of 0.92.

 

Current stage of the project:

  • Looking into a new library with potential of giving a better accuracy for the prediction model (for both GDM and HDP)

  • Developing HDP prediction model 

Goals

  • Model Development for HDP prediction

  • App design

    • Further development of wire frame

    • Risk perception and communication 

  • Web-App Development

    • Develop the wireframe into a working web-app

    • Integrate prediction model into the app 

  • Internal Pilot Trial

Plans 

We plan on conducting a fortnightly meeting to update each team members on each other’s progress as we will be dividing our roles. We will also have a separate meeting with our clinicians to update them of our overall progress and gain feedback.
