ISM Blogs

My ISM journey has been truly eye-opening, helping me grow as both a student and a researcher while teaching me the importance of perseverance, creativity, and seeing beyond technical details. I realized that technology isn’t just about coding or algorithms, it’s about how it can genuinely impact lives. As Arthur C. Clarke once said, “Any […]

This week marked a major turning point in my ISM project. I successfully completed the Next.js front-end interface and fully integrated it with the Flask API. Users can now interact with a fully functional web app that allows them to use an inbuilt camera preview to take a live photo of a skin spot. After

The last two weeks have been focused on building the Flask API, the core backend of my skin cancer detection app, with an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and user-friendliness. The API now handles image uploads, processes them through the AI model, and delivers accurate predictions about potential skin cancer spots, all within a second. After

This week in ISM, I focused on analyzing a research paper about Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) in healthcare, which provided valuable insights that have significantly influenced the direction of my skin cancer detection app. The paper highlighted several key advantages of PWAs, such as their ability to function offline using service workers and caching, ensuring

The past two weeks in ISM have been a turning point for my project. In addition to making technical progress, I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Veera Vemula, an industry professional who has agreed to mentor me throughout this journey. Our conversation was eye-opening, as he provided invaluable feedback on my AI-driven skin cancer

This week, I uncovered a fascinating discovery in my research that could significantly impact the direction of my ISM project. While studying the technical requirements for mobile app development, I came across a research paper that introduced the idea of using mobile web applications instead of traditional mobile apps. This concept, which leverages Progressive Web

The past two weeks in ISM have been both productive and exciting as I worked on improving my AI model and preparing for the upcoming showcase. My focus has been on refining my original work by incorporating a new technique, which is building on a pre-trained image model with my dataset. This improvement increased my

The past week in ISM was productive and exciting! I successfully completed the first training phase for my AI model, using a portion of the HAM10000 dataset, achieving an accuracy of 67.47%. This model is the core of my original work submission, which I turned in last week. Although the accuracy is relatively low, I

In the last two weeks in ISM, I focused on a research paper that has significantly impacted the direction of my project. The paper, “Improving Skin Cancer Diagnostics through a Mobile App with a Large Interactive Image Repository (LIIR),” highlighted key areas like interactive training and real-time feedback, which I plan to integrate into my

This Thanksgiving week, I focused on two essential tasks: upgrading my digital portfolio and refining my LinkedIn profile. Both of them are critical steps in shaping how I present myself professionally. For my digital portfolio, I overhauled the CMS to significantly boost its speed and performance. This improvement ensures that visitors have a seamless experience
