No Confusion and panic when in an emergency
Inspiration
Navigating healthcare is overwhelming, especially in stressful situations when insurance and hospital options aren’t clear. We were inspired to build a personalized AI assistant that makes healthcare access simple, fast, and tailored to each user.
What it does
HealthConnect AI allows users to upload their insurance card, then the personalized assistant processes their details and finds the nearest hospitals that accept their coverage based on their exact location. The assistant guides users step by step, making the experience feel intuitive and supportive.
How we built it
We used a combination of computer vision and OCR to process insurance card images, integrated geolocation APIs to find nearby hospitals, and built a responsive frontend with EJS/Bootstrap connected to a Node.js backend.
Challenges we ran into
Accurately reading varied insurance cards with OCR.
Matching insurance providers with correct hospital networks.
Making the AI assistant feel personalized and engaging rather than generic.
Seamlessly integrating dynamic frontend animations with backend APIs.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
A fully functional prototype that links a user’s insurance to real hospitals nearby.
Creating a personalized AI chat assistant that not only answers questions but adapts to user needs.
A smooth, user-friendly interface with interactive background animations.
What we learned
How personalization significantly improves trust and usability in healthcare apps.
Best practices for integrating OCR with AI-driven workflows.
How to balance technical functionality with a polished user experience.
What's next for HealthConnect AI
Expanding hospital databases and insurance integrations.
Making the personalized assistant smarter, with deeper coverage explanations and proactive care suggestions.
Building a mobile app for even faster, on-the-go healthcare guidance.
