Some of the problems brainstormed included cataracts, a cloudy area in the eye that can lead to vision-threatening issues if left untreated. A possible solution to this problem is developing an app that utilizes AI to detect cataracts. Another idea that was brainstormed was the issue of wildfires, which can be dealt with using drones that douse water. However, I decided not to use these ideas since multiple successful cataract detection algorithms and drones exist. Instead, my invention aims to solve the issue of torticollis, a fairly common condition caused by the abnormal twisting of the neck. Since the current treatments are quite ineffective, I believe pursuing a solution to this issue would be a good idea.

The hardware device is written using the Arduino language. It monitors the user's head tilt, alerting them through a vibrator when the tilt exceeds a certain value. The hardware device uses Bluetooth to communicate with the iOS and Android mobile application built using Flutter. The app utilizes the Firebase database to manage user authentication and store user data, such as the daily alarm count data.

My project should be featured because it addresses an important issue in society that affects one in 250 newborns - torticollis. In addition, the current solutions aren't as effective as Cura in constantly reminding the user to keep their head straight, stretching their neck muscles, and treating torticollis. If left untreated, torticollis can lead to harmful medical ailments, making finding an effective treatment plan all the more critical.
