Approximately 1/3 of the Canadian population between the ages 19-59 have inadequate levels of essential vitamins and minerals, and the current treatment process for diagnosing these deficiencies is inconvenient and time-consuming. Hospital waiting times are at an all-time high and the general public does not have the time or resources to wait in these long lines just to get a few basic tests done. The current lengthy process of blood sampling can be worked around by simply analyzing the characteristics of the patient’s fingernails to diagnose them quickly and effectively. However, the modern healthcare system forces these patients to neglect the health aspect of their lives which can prove to be detrimental in the long run. To tackle this issue, we aim to provide a convenient, affordable, and accurate way for users to check and identify probable health conditions at home.
