QuickAid is an advanced virtual first-aid tool capable of promptly identifying injuries from uploaded images and providing corresponding treatment recommendations. This tool enhances the efficacy of initial medical responses by leveraging powerful AI technology to make quick and accurate assessments accessible to everyone.

• Injury Identification: Users can upload images of injuries, and QuickAid identifies them using advanced image recognition technology.
• Treatment Recommendations: After identifying an injury, the tool provides step-by-step treatment recommendations based on best medical practices.
• Accessible User Interface: Designed to be user-friendly, QuickAid ensures that critical information is accessible to individuals in emergency situations, including those with limited mobility or visual impairments.

To run QuickAid on your local machine, you need Python 3.6+ installed. Follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

   git clone https://github.com/sherwinvishesh/QuickAid.git

2. Navigate to the project directory.

   cd QuickAid

3. Install the required Python packages.

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   

   If you are getting any errors while installing the above Then you have to create a virtual environment and run this program, here are the steps: Create a Virtual Environment:

   python3 -m venv path/to/venv

   Activate the Virtual Environment: mac or linux

   source path/to/venv/bin/activate

   For Windows:

   path\to\venv\Scripts\activate

4. Set Up Environment Variables Create a .env file in the root directory and add your API keys and other sensitive data:

   API_KEY='your_api_key_here'
   

5. Run the Flask application.

   python3 app.py

To use QuickAid, follow these simple steps:

1. Open the Application: Go to http:https://127.0.0.1:5000/ on your web browser.
2. Upload an Image: Click on the 'Browse Images' button to upload an image of the injury.
3. Receive Information: QuickAid will analyze the image and provide a detailed description of the injury along with step-by-step treatment advice.

QuickAid leverages cutting-edge technologies to provide a robust and user-friendly virtual first-aid assistance platform. Here's an overview of the key technologies:

• Overview: Google's GenerativeAI i.e. Gemini is at the heart of QuickAid's ability to analyze and interpret medical images. This advanced AI technology enables the application to understand the context of an injury from an image and generate accurate descriptions and treatment recommendations.
• Role in QuickAid: We utilize the GenerativeAI's capabilities to transform visual data into actionable medical advice, significantly reducing the response time in critical situations.

• Overview: Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework. It is designed to make getting started quick and easy, with the ability to scale up to complex applications.
• Role in QuickAid: Flask serves as the backbone of our application, handling web requests, serving the web pages, and linking the frontend with our AI models. Its simplicity and flexibility allow us to rapidly develop and iterate on our web interface.

• Overview: Pillow is the friendly PIL fork by Alex Clark and Contributors. PIL (Python Imaging Library) adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter. This library supports a wide variety of image file formats and provides powerful image processing and graphics capabilities.
• Role in QuickAid: Pillow is used in QuickAid for opening, manipulating, and saving many different image file formats. This is crucial for the preprocessing of images before they are analyzed by our AI models.

These technologies are integrated into a seamless workflow that ensures QuickAid is not only highly effective but also user-friendly and accessible to people with no technical background. The combination of Google's powerful Gemini AI analysis tools with Flask's web capabilities and Pillow's image processing allows QuickAid to deliver fast and reliable medical guidance.
