  Deha Ai - An AI medical case manager.

Inspiration

Inspiration As healthcare systems become increasingly overwhelmed, seniors are often left without immediate support. Case managers are costly or unavailable, and many seniors struggle with managing medications, appointments, and care plans. We built DEHA AI to solve this gap—making health guidance accessible, empathetic, and always available.

What it does

DEHA AI is an AI-powered medical case manager for seniors. It enables:

24/7 voice/chat interaction for health questions

Smart medication & appointment reminders

Secure health record uploads & interpretation

Personalized support based on user history

How we built it

Speech-to-Text: Real-time transcription using Groq’s Whisper v3

Text-to-Speech: Human-like responses using ElevenLabs

Conversational AI: Prompt engineering with context-aware logic

Local Backend: Secure data handling, record processing, and event reminders

Challenges we ran into

Handling long medical records within LLM token limits

Ensuring voice interactions remained low-latency and natural

Building a clean local pipeline without relying on cloud-based EMR systems

Designing reminders that are non-intrusive yet reliable

Accomplishments that we're proud of

End-to-end working prototype within a weekend

Integrated voice interaction pipeline using cutting-edge inference (Groq + 11Labs)

Seamless medical PDF upload, parsing, and memory-aware Q&A

Early feedback from senior care providers validating the need

What we learned

How to build efficient RAG pipelines with limited compute

The importance of memory and emotional tone in eldercare AI

Practical integration of voice models in real-world scenarios

Tradeoffs in latency, accuracy, and usability for healthcare AI

What's next for DEHA AI

Adding emotional adaptation for senior-friendly conversations

Expanding calendar-based reminders with voice-only interface

B2B pilot with senior care facilities lacking EMR systems

HIPAA-compliant cloud architecture & multilingual support
