Inspiration, Hi, my name is Subhi. i am going to be a first generation doctor in my family and for now I am a first year medical student. The idea for this project did come from my sole experience. I was diagnosed with migraine in 2022. At that time, there was no one who did understand me. People laughed it off as just a headache or a weakness of mind. It is still a stigma to talk about pcos, pcod and talking about mental health is just a no no . Though i made people understand about my condition, I realised that it is pointless to argue and explain each and every new person i encounter about my condition. At that time I thought why can't I have a support group . I would not call it a support group but a connecting group , people who are facing everyday what i am facing . Then the idea expanded to genetic disease group of people. Like it is very hard if you are the only one facing a genetic disorder but it becomes a little supporting if you find a group who are facing the same very problems with their health. Hence, i got inspiration for this project.
What it does, A user can share their thoughts, ask questions or offer support( not medical advice), they can find local groups for talking in their language as i am building it for india where there are multiple languages, they can find upcoming events or refer to resource library in case they need any information regarding their condition. users can join different groups like pcod, cancer depending upon what they are facing . The resources added are added in the form of pdf, video library and audio library. In case they need support they can talk on national helpline. And for the events they can attend multiple events like online as in virtual meetups, or in person meetups like a local community in a cafe , for workshops created by government or the support group meetups.
How we built it .I built it using Replit agent
Challenges we ran into, The biggest problem which i am facing into was to push the project to github and export the low code solution. I am still new to the tech environment so i am just starting out. I hope that I will learn these things as i progress
Accomplishments that we're proud, of I am not proud of anything, but i am satisfied that i have made something which was there inside me for a very long period of time , i sincerely hope that it can help someone in the future
What we learned , I learned a lot of things from the project. i learned about different low code solutions out of which i went with replit. I also learned in the process that even with the arrival of agentic ai and ai advancements , we are and will still in huge need of software engineers because whatever agents code do have a lot of bugs ( the reason why i chose replit over any other low code)
What's next for HEALTH SUPPORT SPHERE, To be honest i really want people to use it . i do not think of scaling this up, i do not intend to make money from it but maybe i will be needing just as much to keep the operations going. In the future i want to enhace its feature like allowing people to create groups, for example, a person can have thyroid with migraine so that user can create group to connect with other users who do face the exact same problem. and if such a group already exists , the system will lead them to the group. In that way we can have complex groups without replicas.
