HealthGPT

Inspiration

The inspiration behind HealthGPT came from the need to provide accessible, initial health guidance to users, especially in settings where immediate access to medical professionals may be limited. By combining AI-generated advice with real health professional input, HealthGPT aims to empower users to better understand their symptoms and seek appropriate care, consulting professional doctors and ordering medication using AI agent.

What it does

HealthGPT allows users to input their symptoms, receive initial health advice, and, if necessary, submit their symptoms for further review by a doctor. Users can view responses that include a diagnosis, medication suggestions, and doctor's notes, all stored in Firestore. The app provides transparency by displaying consultation histories and previous doctor feedback.

How we built it

The app was built using React for the front-end interface and Firebase Firestore for data management. We used Firestore to store consultations and Firebase Authentication for user logins. The system integrates AI responses via the OpenAI API, with Firebase handling the secure submission of symptoms to health professionals.

Challenges we ran into

We faced issues in sharing the data between the user dashboard and the doctor dashboard.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re proud of developing a seamless user experience that combines AI and professional medical input, providing users with an innovative health tool.

What we learned

We learned about the complexities of handling user health data securely. We also gained experience in designing intuitive health-related user interfaces that balance simplicity with functionality.

What's next for HealthGPT

The next steps for HealthGPT include expanding its functionality to offer users more comprehensive health support. We plan to implement a booking feature, allowing users to schedule appointments with doctors directly through the app, providing a seamless transition from online consultation to in-person care. Additionally, we aim to enable 1-on-1 conversations with doctors, where users can engage in real-time chat sessions with healthcare professionals for more personalized and immediate responses. These enhancements will further establish HealthGPT as a trusted, user-centered platform for accessible health guidance and support.
