Inspiration

Many senior citizens live alone while their children work away from home. Monitoring their health daily and managing their medical emergencies quickly is a huge challenge. This inspired us to create CareBridge AI, transforming senior healthcare tracking into a simple conversational interface inside Slack.

What it does

CareBridge AI is a Slack agent that:

  • Seamlessly tracks vital health metrics like Blood Pressure, Sugar Levels, and Heart Rate.
  • Acts as a smart caregiver assistant by sending automated medicine and health checkup reminders.
  • Includes an emergency SOS alert system that immediately broadcasts critical notifications to family members' Slack workspaces if an anomaly is detected.

How we built it

We designed a conversational UI using Slack's developer capabilities. The frontend web interface provides a centralized dashboard for children to look at health analytics and trends generated by the agent.

Challenges we faced

Integrating automated health reminders that trigger at exact times within conversational chat environments was tough, but we designed an optimized workflow to ensure critical alerts are never delayed.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We built a functional, low-code prototype that connects remote family members directly to their parents' daily healthcare routine without requiring complex standalone software installs.

What we learned

We learned how Slack can be utilized beyond normal office work—serving as a powerful, real-time automation tool for personal healthcare management.

What's next for CareBridge AI

We plan to introduce wearable smart device integrations (like smartwatches) to sync live heart rate data directly to the Slack agent.
