Inspiration

It is difficult to navigate series of complex webs with links for Medicaid or related government Healthcare program.

Some of the problems are:

_Some state have their own program

_Different requirement for each state

_Sites with link to another sites with link to another sites

_Medicaid on non-expanded state

What it does

Curis eliminate complicate web of government sites and automatically redirect you to the program you eligible for.

Curis come with the following function :

1) Income Matching : Curis match your income with the federal poverty line requirement to see if you qualify for federal Healthcare.

2) State Sorting : Curis will automatically redirect you to to your state Health insurance sign up page.

3) Private Health Insurance Finder : Help you find the best private healthcare if you don’t qualify for federal program.

4) Non-Expanded Medicaid State Options : Offer other finder such Free Clinics Finder or Short-term Health Finder.

How we built it

Curis was build using Azure Health Bot which contain a customize scenario that I created. It was then hosted on an Azure App Services. Finally, the Health Bot is embedded in an Angular Web Application that is hosted on Azure Static Web App.
