Project Examples
2023-24 InterD Team Project Sample:
LitLife is creating a wellness AI to help people achieve their lifestyle goals. Through a combination of a consultation form, kinetic chain assessment, and health history, the AI generates a custom routine for users. The exercise routine evolves with the user, and the nutrition plan is tailored based on body composition and goals. Additionally, the AI provides custom foam rolling and yoga routines to relieve tension and pain, as well as meditation assistance to help users ground and center themselves.
11 students from numerous disciplines were recruited to collaborate and deliver the aformentioned project. Trainers worked closely with data scientists, nutritionists, and marketing specialists, contributing to project management and gaining exposure to research, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The collaborative environment in the Student Innovation Centre fostered a strong sense of community and provided students with the opportunity to develop a comprehensive skill set essential for their future careers.
