What pitfalls did the client face?
The client encountered several challenges with their existing systems:
Limited Personalization
Current yoga apps lacked the ability to personalize routines for individual needs.
Generic Instruction
Static instructional content failed to adapt to user progress and limitations.
Lack of Real-Time Feedback
Absence of real-time feedback on posture hindered user improvement.
Limited Content Variety
Users expressed a desire for more diverse and engaging yoga content.
What pitfalls did the client face?
1) Legacy System Integration
- Existing systems were not designed for AI integration
- Historical data was stored in various formats and locations
- Manual processes were deeply embedded in operations
2) Data Quality and Standardization
- Inconsistent data formats across different sources
- Missing or incomplete historical data
- Lack of standardized documentation processes.
3) Regulatory Compliance
- Need for explainable AI decisions
- Ensuring fair lending practices
- Meeting data privacy requirements
4) Staff Resistance
- Concerns about job security
- Reluctance to adopt new technologies
- Learning curve for new systems
Our Suggestions
To address these challenges, we proposed the AI Yoga Assistant project with the following components:
User Managment
- Enables secure, centralized authentication, allowing users to access multiple applications with a single login, enhancing both security and user experience.
- Defines user roles (Admin, Manager, User) with specific permissions, ensuring secure and efficient management of access based on roles and responsibilities.
Personalized Yoga Routines
- User Goal Selection: Users select their yoga goals (flexibility, strength, relaxation, etc.)
- Experience Level Assessment: Users indicate their yoga experience level (beginner, intermediate, advanced).
Pose Recognition and Feedback
- AI-powered pose recognition analyzes user posture in real-time.
- Personalized feedback is provided on alignment and technique.
Yoga Routine Recommendations
- AI recommends personalized yoga routines based on user input.
- Routines incorporate different yoga styles (Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, etc.)
Instructional Content Creation
- AI generates variations and modifications of yoga poses for different user needs.
- Instructional content library provides clear guidance on pose execution.
Meditation and Breathing Techniques
- Offers guided meditations tailored to user preferences (stress reduction, focus enhancement, etc.)
- Provides breathing exercise tutorials for deeper relaxation and focus.
What we suggested:
1. Initial Assessment and Planning
- Conduct thorough analysis of existing loan approval processes
- Identify key pain points and automation opportunities
- Define success metrics and compliance requirements
- Create implementation roadmap
2. System Design and Architecture
- Backend: Use Python and TensorFlow for AI model development. Leverage cloud services for scalability and data management.
- Frontend: React-based dashboard for loan officers
- Database: MongoDB for flexible data storage
- API Layer: FastAPI for high-performance backend services
3. Development and Integration
- Implement modular AI components for different aspects of loan processing
- Create explainable AI features for transparency
- Develop real-time monitoring and alerting systems
- Build robust data validation and cleaning pipelines
4. Testing and Deployment
- Conduct parallel testing with existing systems
- Implement gradual rollout strategy
- Provide comprehensive staff training
- Establish feedback loops for continuous improvement
Technical Architecture
Front-End (User Interface)
- Mobile App and/or Web App: This is where users interact with the application. It should be user-friendly and visually appealing, allowing users to navigate through features and access yoga routines, instructions, and progress tracking.
- Voice Interface (Optional): This allows users to interact with the AI assistant using voice commands for hands-free operation (e.g., starting a routine, requesting pose feedback).
Back-End (Server-Side)
- Personalized User Journey: Combines User Management, Progress Tracking, and Yoga Routine Services for a seamless experience, handling authentication, profile management, and AI-driven routines. Tracks goals, experience, and metrics for tailored progress monitoring.
- Interactive Learning System: Integrates Pose Recognition, CMS, and Meditation Services for real-time posture analysis, multimedia content delivery, and guided meditation. Ensures smooth front-end and back-end communication via the API Gateway, with centralized data management.
AI and Machine Learning
- Personalized Routine Recommendation: The AI assistant analyzes user goals, experience levels, and progress to suggest tailored yoga routines, ensuring a more effective and individualized practice that adapts to the user’s evolving needs.
- Pose Recognition and Real-Time Feedback: Leveraging machine learning models, the AI can assess user posture during yoga practice, offering real-time feedback on alignment and technique to help improve performance and prevent injury.
DevOps and Infrastructure
- Cloud Infrastructure: The application can be deployed on a cloud platform (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud Platform) to ensure scalability, reliability, and global accessibility.
- DevOps Tools: Tools for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) can automate testing, deployment, and infrastructure management.
Security Considerations
- User data (login credentials, goals, progress) should be encrypted at rest and in transit.
- Access control mechanisms should be implemented to restrict access to user data based on user roles and permissions.
