From 1e8a32dad203129f3534a022648ae811f87c6508 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Serim Hande Tarcan <46164107+HandeTarcan@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2019 20:21:50 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Update README.md I'm a doctor and I had trouble understanding the goal of the project. Therefore, I made some changes to increase the readability, make the file more understandable, and strengthen the idea behind the project. I also should add that I would definitely want to talk about and work on the project, if possible, since it is one of the most creative ML projects in medicine I have seen so far. --- README.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index f86fa1e..a8fb924 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ # pySickleCell Python-based standalone application for sickle cell disease prediction -Description: A prevalent genetic disorder Sickle cell disease (SCD) has been affecting people thus resulting in multiple acute and chronic complications including pain crises, stroke, and kidney disease.

It has been seen that SCD tends to lead to organ failure more compared to other chronic organ dysfunctionings. It is not feasible and possible to detect acute physiological deterioration which leads to organ failure, though. +A solution to earlier identification of this problem, which could potentially cut down the mortality rate, is the usage of the machine learning techniques that are recognizing, with the help of physiological markers, which organs are failing and forewarning of the order in which organ failure could occur over a span of time at the further extension of the project.
