FeverAI: Intelligent Fever Monitoring and Analytics Platform

Inspiration

In India, with approximately 1 doctor per 834 patients, fever management remains fragmented, delayed, and reactive. Dengue, typhoid, and malaria share overlapping symptoms causing diagnostic confusion, while medication errors claim preventable lives. During COVID-19 and seasonal outbreaks, we witnessed how delayed fever detection and lack of real-time care coordination led to hemorrhagic dengue, septic shock, and missed outbreak hotspots.

We envisioned FeverAI as an AI-powered continuous fever monitoring platform that transforms reactive diagnosis into proactive, data-driven clinical care—bridging patients, clinicians, IoT devices, and public health authorities in real-time.


What it does

FeverAI is a comprehensive intelligent fever monitoring and clinical decision support system delivering:

For Patients & Community:

  • Real-time symptom logging with 8 symptom types (temperature, headache, body pain, nausea, rash, etc.) rated 1-5 severity
  • Voice-enabled multilingual chatbot (English, Hindi support) powered by Google Gemini 2.0 Flash with persistent conversation history
  • AI-powered diagnosis with calibrated confidence scores (25%, 58%, 75%+) for dengue, typhoid, malaria, and viral fevers
  • Continuous monitoring with day-by-day progression tracking and dynamic risk reassessment
  • Contact tracing alerting workplace and family members when confirmed cases detected

For Clinicians:

  • Advanced AI chatbot querying patient records with context-aware responses
  • Live patient dashboards with vitals, symptom trends, and AI predictions
  • Medication safety checks (powered by Gemini API) preventing fatal prescriptions:
    • Automatically blocks aspirin for dengue patients with bleeding risk/family hemophilia
    • Cross-references allergy history + family genetics + current diagnosis
    • Suggests safer alternatives (Paracetamol instead of NSAIDs)
  • Critical phase alerts (Day 4 dengue: platelet drop <100k, warning signs detected)
  • Evidence-based recommendations following FeFCon 2024 clinical guidelines

For Public Health & Outbreak Control:

  • Geographic hotspot mapping identifying disease clusters in real-time
  • Automated outbreak detection triggering alerts to Micro Labs for medicine distribution
  • Disease prevalence analytics supporting resource allocation
  • Scalable architecture for state/national fever surveillance integration

Real-World Demonstration: Rahul Verma Case Study

Day 1 (Nov 11): Patient logs 102°F fever, headache → AI flags 25% dengue risk → Alert: "Monitor for dengue triad"

Day 3 (Nov 13): Fever rises to 103.5°F, retro-orbital eye pain appears → AI raises confidence to 58% → Recommends NS1 test → ✅ Confirmed Dengue

Day 4 (Nov 14) - CRITICAL PHASE:

  • Vital Signs: Temperature 104.2°F, Platelets 95k (critical drop), Rash appears, Vomiting starts
  • AI Alert: HIGH URGENCY → "Admit to ICU, monitor CBC every 6 hours"
  • Clinical Action: Clinician prescribes Aspirin for fever pain

🚨 GEMINI AI INTERVENTION: ❌ STOPS PRESCRIPTION citing:

  • ⛔ Patient allergic to Aspirin (medication history)
  • ⛔ Father has hemophilia (family history) → bleeding disorder risk
  • ⛔ Dengue Day 4 = hemorrhagic phase = HIGH bleeding risk
  • Could cause hemorrhagic dengue (fatal complication)
  • Recommendation: Use Paracetamol only, admit ICU immediately

Contact Tracing: 3 colleagues notified, recommended for testing

Hotspot Created: Baner, Pune marked for Micro Labs intervention

✅ Outcome:

Rahul recovers safely in ICU. One life saved by AI medication safety check.


Challenges Overcome

1. Symptom Overlap Complexity

Dengue, typhoid, malaria present near-identical symptoms. Solved via:

  • Feature engineering: fever duration categories, dengue triad indicators, platelet thresholds
  • Ensemble ML with confidence calibration instead of overconfident predictions
  • Continuous monitoring capturing disease progression patterns

2. Medication Safety at Scale

Preventing errors while respecting clinician autonomy:

  • Integrated Gemini API to query patient medical history, allergies, family genetics in real-time
  • Implemented smart blocking rules (NSAIDs + hemophilia = block, Aspirin + dengue + allergy = block)
  • Provided clear reasoning for blocks enabling clinician override if needed

3. Real-time Data Synchronization

Managing alerts across hundreds of concurrent patients:

  • Event-driven architecture with MongoDB triggers
  • Alert system with severity escalation
  • Optimized queries for sub-100ms response times

4. Voice Chatbot Context Retention

Doctors need multi-turn conversations about patients:

  • Implemented session-based conversation history (MongoDB)
  • Gemini API with system prompts embedding FeverAI domain expertise
  • Context passed across turns: "Previous patient was Rahul with dengue" → AI remembers

5. Multi-Sponsor Integration

Balancing 5 sponsor APIs without redundancy:

  • Gemini = primary chatbot + medication safety
  • SiliconFlow = backup medical knowledge + symptom analysis
  • Each with fallback mechanisms ensuring platform stability
