Hospital Room Booking Agent Project Story

Inspiration

Managing hospital room availability manually can be time-consuming and error-prone. We wanted to create an intelligent agent that could help patients check room availability, book rooms, and get details instantly, improving efficiency for hospital staff and enhancing the patient experience.

What it does

The Hospital Room Booking Agent allows users to:

  • Check availability of different room types (General Ward, Semi-Private, Suite, etc.) on specific dates.
  • Book rooms for patients, specifying duration and room type.
  • Get instant confirmation and updates regarding their bookings.
  • Maintain accurate records of room occupancy and availability.

How we built it

We built the agent using:

  • Amazon Bedrock for the knowledge base and agent logic.
  • AWS Lambda for backend operations like fetching and updating room availability.
  • Amazon DynamoDB to store room inventory, booking details, and patient information.
  • Python and Boto3 for integration and automation of booking operations.

The agent interacts with users via natural language, processes requests, and updates the database in real-time.

Challenges we ran into

  • Handling simultaneous booking requests without causing data inconsistencies.
  • Designing a flexible knowledge base that could cover multiple room types and special cases.
  • Ensuring the agent correctly interprets user input with different phrasing or typos.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Successfully created a fully automated agent capable of handling real-time room bookings.
  • Reduced manual intervention for hospital staff.
  • Built a scalable system that can handle multiple requests simultaneously and provide accurate updates.

What we learned

  • How to integrate AWS services like Bedrock, Lambda, and DynamoDB to create a functional agent.
  • Best practices for building knowledge bases for domain-specific agents.
  • Techniques for handling concurrency and data consistency in serverless architectures.

What's next for Hospital Room Booking Agent

  • Adding support for cancellations, rescheduling, and notifications via email/SMS.
  • Expanding the knowledge base to include hospital services, doctors’ schedules, and billing information.
  • Integrating with hospital management systems for seamless end-to-end automation.
