ChickyAI

Translating medical jargon to everyday language, one report at a time.

Comment 1

Inspiration

Both of our families immigrated to the US roughly two decades ago.

Many of the elders in our family are not comfortable navigating the medical system alone and since a young age, both Brandon and I have been translating important documents...

We believe in empowering this user base with the ability to have empathetic conversations with their medical report. We want users to navigate their health journey with clarity and confidence.

What it does

  • ChickyAI securely studies your medical report and extracts the relevant information about what the patient is presenting with, the physician's opinions, and plans for the next steps.
  • Users are then able to ask our GenAI chatbot about the report's details and how to confidently move forward.
  • Users can take notes on what they discovered and be fed relevant public health insights to aid them in their health journey.

How we built it

We used Convex.dev and an assortment of tools in-between. We also use Lucia for authentication.

Challenges we ran into

  • Unreliable Wi-Fi made it so we had to take "trust falls" and go without the help of ChatGPT at times in order to keep going.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Responsive site with a seamless user journey.
  • Gaining a working intuition for full-stack development.
  • Escaping "tutorial hell".

What we learned

  • A lot. This is our first time making a website of any kind! Also, our first hackathon!
  • "All rabbit holes are good rabbit holes" when it comes to becoming more confident software engineers.

What's next for ChickyAI

  • Blockchain encryption and ensure HIPPA compliance.
  • Connecting users with live certified medical professionals to replace the GenAI feature.
  • Connecting users with more public health resources based on location, demographics, and more.
  • Allowing users to securely establish a profile and improve offline access.
