MedAssist-Bridging the gap between patient and professionals

Inspiration One of our teammates contracted a food-borne parasite and turned to a walk-in clinic for help. By the time she saw the doctor, she was feeling fine making it nearly impossible to describe symptoms that came and go randomly. Without a record of what she'd experienced, the doctor had little to work with leading to many follow up appointments and fustration.

What we learned Often, it isn’t because a condition doesn’t warrant attention - it’s the missing pieces of the patient’s story. Doctors can only work with what patients are able to share, yet many people don’t know which symptoms matter, forget small details during short appointments, or haven’t noticed patterns in their health. Those missing pieces can quietly delay the path to the right care.

What it does The user will input frequent journal entries to note down how they are feeling and the symptoms they are experiencing on a given date or time. The goal is to convert these journal entries into a streamlined record which is then summarized and can be accessed by any medical professional (not just family doctors, but think walk-ins that might not have much information on you). By obtaining a record that could reveal specific patterns in symptoms as well as information the patient may have forgotten to disclose, the medical professional can gain a better understanding looking for long-term solutions that solve health problems accurately rather than short solutions from misdiagnostics.

How we built it We completed prompt engineering on Figma and V0.

Challenges we ran into

• Technical knowledge as we did not come from a CS or Maths related background
  • To specify, we were originally struggling to understand the full extent of using API, how to navigate databases, how to utilize frameworks, how to integrate an AI into an application

Accomplishments that we're proud of We are proud of being able to create a somewhat functional prototype bringing what was just an idea to fruition and learning some technical knowledge along the way.

What we learned

• We learned about how to create a repository and how we needed to use command prompt to connect what we had locally to github
• We learned about vibe coding and existing software besides VS code that we could use to help implement our ideas
• We learned about the idea and what to consider ex. target audience and impact

What's next for Med Journal What's next is hopefully being able to expand this web application with more features such as integrating google maps and some sort of specialist finding programming, or working on improving existing features such as expanding the details of the visual diagram such that the patient can get it down to the exact spot where they are feeling the symptoms (ex. they aren't just feeling pain on their entire head, but perhaps only at the back of their head).
