Inspiration It comes from my chiildhood where i am not able to understand the doctors prescription and not able to undersatnad medicines.. also cant't remeber medicine dosage
What it does . It can suggest medicine as per your present condition and also it can analyze the prescription and suggest dosage and precaution .how much time it should take .. Also it can suggest medicine as per your condition as per your Age
How we built it . We built Chikitsak as a full-stack web application form html css and java script and backend from node js The core intelligence is powered by the Gemini API, which handles the complex Natural Language Processing (NLP) and image analysis for medical documents. The frontend is designed to be clean and accessible for users of all age groups.
Challenges we ran into
Handwriting Recognition: Deciphering diverse and often messy medical handwriting was a significant hurdle. We had to fine-tune our prompts to ensure high accuracy.
Medical Accuracy: Ensuring the AI doesn't "hallucinate" was critical. We implemented strict system instructions to keep suggestions within safe, standard medical boundaries.
Contextual Logic: Building logic that adjusts suggestions based on age (pediatric vs. geriatric care) required careful data structuring.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Seamless OCR Integration: Successfully turning a blurry prescription photo into a structured, readable dosage schedule.
User-Centric Design: Creating a tool that solves a real-world problem faced by millions of non-technical people and the elderly.
Real-time Analysis: Achieving low-latency responses even while processing complex medical images.
What we learnedPrompt Engineering: We learned how to leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) specifically for structured data extraction.
The Power of AI in Healthcare: This project opened our eyes to how much AI can simplify patient-doctor communication.
Full-Stack Workflow: Improved our skills in integrating cutting-edge APIs into a functional, deployed web environment
What's next for Chitkitsak
Multilingual Support: Adding regional Indian languages so that language is never a barrier to healthcare.
Smart Reminders: Integrating WhatsApp or push notifications to alert users when itβs time for their next dose.
Doctor Verification: A feature to instantly share the AI's summary with a real pharmacist or doctor for a "digital double-check."
