..... Inspiration We noticed that finding healthcare is not always as simple as searching for the nearest hospital. Patients may need a specific service, suitable timings, accessibility facilities, or appointment availability. This inspired us to create a solution that makes healthcare easier to find and coordinate. ...... What It Does HealthRoute is an intelligent healthcare navigation and coordination platform. It understands a patient's requirements and helps find suitable healthcare facilities based on service, location, operating hours, accessibility, and appointment availability. It also supports navigation and alternative facility suggestions. ....... How We Built It We designed HealthRoute as a web-based platform with: React.js for the frontend Node.js & Express.js for backend services MongoDB for storing facility and user data AI/NLP for understanding natural-language requirements Maps API for location and navigation API-based architecture for connecting different services ..... Challenges We Faced Our major challenges were: Handling different ways patients describe their requirements Matching multiple requirements with facility data Keeping appointment and facility information updated Integrating location and navigation services Maintaining privacy and avoiding any diagnostic functionality ...... What We’re Proud Of We are proud that HealthRoute goes beyond a basic hospital finder.
