Inspiration
I got my first smartwatch, really cool stuff. I'd always take it with me while running to check how many steps I ran. It said it could measure ECG and Blood Oxygen levels (I need to do more research on this) and it hit me! There are signs that someone is about to have a bout of asthma or low blood pressure and these devices if tailored well should pick these up and help emergency responders better with their jobs. This was the inspirtaion behind Medpro
What it does
Medpro aims to assist paramedics and medical personnel by tracking and recording a patient’s vital signs through their smart devices. In emergency situations, every second matters—and Medpro is designed to save those crucial seconds. Beyond emergencies, Medpro also supports patients with chronic conditions like Diabetes and High Blood Pressure by enabling real-time vital monitoring in collaboration with their hospitals. This allows doctors to remotely detect abnormal patterns and send emergency assistance signals when necessary, potentially saving lives before things spiral out of control.
How we built it
Medpro was built entirely with the help of AI. I started by preparing a requirements document and then used Bolt to break it down into project phases, and further into smaller components. Bolt and I worked on each component, writing and testing as we went to ensure every part was functional. This structured AI-assisted development allowed me to build a working version faster than I could’ve done alone. It felt like I had a pair programming partner throughout the process.
Challenges we ran into
My biggest challenge was learning how to prompt Bolt effectively. I initially wasted a lot of tokens because I didn't fully understand how to ask the right questions. Early on, I prompted Bolt with entire feature goals, which led to bugs and deployment issues I couldn’t fix. Eventually, I realized the key was breaking my requirements into smaller, more manageable parts. I restarted the project with this approach, and it led to the stable version of Medpro I have today.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Successfully building a functional prototype with smart device integration features
- Learning how to work with AI tools to go from idea to implementation
- Creating a meaningful solution that can potentially improve emergency medical response and chronic care
- Developing a full application workflow, from requirement docs to deployment, on my own as a junior developer
What we learned
More than anything, I learned how to “vibe code”—trusting the flow of problem-solving while collaborating with AI. As a junior developer, this was my first experience building something this large and meaningful. I also learned how to break complex goals into achievable tasks and how to test individual components to make debugging easier. It was a crash course in both software development and working alongside an AI assistant.
What's next for Medpro
If I win this hackathon, the next step is research. I plan to explore how to make smart device health data more accurate and how to train an AI model to recognize dangerous patterns in vitals. I also hope to reach out to smart device manufacturers and hospitals to discuss partnerships and integration opportunities. The long-term goal is to make Medpro an affordable and reliable part of emergency response systems worldwide—especially in areas where immediate medical attention isn’t always available.
