🧠 About

TreeHacks is Stanford University’s official national hackathon. In 2016, over 670 hackers attended — achieving a 50/50 gender ratio, the first major student-run hackathon to do so.

Our team, Big Hero 4, built Ammalia (Arabic for surgery) — a Leap Motion-assisted app that helps surgeons view and manipulate scans while scrubbed in and sterile.

🏆 Prizes:

Best Social Impact Prize – Sponsored by GoodHacks
Best Use of Dropbox API – Sponsored by Dropbox

💡 Project — Ammalia. Where surgeons go to explore.

Ammalia uses the Leap Motion API and the Dropbox API to let surgeons analyze medical images (like MRI or CT scans) hands-free in the operating room.

We saw potential for radiology image scrolling and manipulation while scrubbed in — and future use cases include 3D scan interaction and real-time data visualization.
