This is Kai, your personal healthcare assistant

Inspiration

I've seen lots of less-fortunate teenagers and adults not have access to medical help so I wanted to create a bot that is easy and reliable to answer medical questions and that can easily schedule doctor's appointments with ease.

What it does

Kai is a virtual healthcare companion that helps patients around the globe with their healthcare needs. He can book appointments with the patient’s doctor and help the patient with any health problems they are facing. Kai provides his patients with information about their problems and sends them emails about what steps they can take to prevent them.

How I built it

Kai was one of my first ever solo python projects that I built without any video tutorials or outside help. I used the knowledge that I previously learned from self-taught youtube tutorials and websites such as Codecademy.

Challenges I ran into

The main challenge I had while building this was setting up the email function. I had tried doing it with several emails but the proxies seemed to never work. I tried troubleshooting many different ways until I finally found a proxy and server that worked with what I was trying to accomplish.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I was very proud when I got the emailing system to work. I've never done anything like this before so when I finally got my code to work it felt amazing.

What we learned

I learned a lot about using python to send emails and learned how to use "f" strings and new methods of using python in the real world. I also learned time management and how to quickly make a working program in less than 24 hours.

What's next for Kai

I'm going to try to keep upgrading Kai to help with more and more medical problems and to maybe one day even send text notifications and confirmations about medical appointments and patient info.
