71 117. HealthChecksIreland Did you know that 80%of chronic diseases are preventable? Yet, they still account for 70%of deaths in Ireland alone. In response, we created HealthChecksIreland.com, a website designed to help users access personalised health check recommendations based on factors such as gender, age, and activity level. Our platformalso serves as a comprehensive resource for general health information and allows users to easily book and schedule appointments with trusted health clinics and hospitals. Our mission is to raise awareness about the importance of regular health checks and empower individuals to take proactive steps toward improving their health and well-being.

It also explores anomaly detection to identify athletes whose race performances deviate significantly from expected patterns, with the potential to flag doping cases. The project includes a list of confirmed banned athletes to compare the model’s anomaly results. The aim is to developmodels that could serve as an alternative to random drug testing. The project will employ machine learningmethods such as XGBoost, SVM, K-Nearest Neighbours, Isolation Forests, etc. Student Programme Data Science Project Area Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Statistical Analysis, Sport, Anomaly Detection Project Technology Excel/VB, JavaScript, Python, R, GraphQL, Machine Learning Student Name(s) Daragh Humpston  |  Conor Clarke Email daragh.humpston2@mail.dcu.ie  |  conor.clarke48@mail.dcu.ie Supervisor Prof Mark Roantree 119.
