MedCycle - MediMatchNinja

Inspiration

We were inspired by learning how much medical equipment goes to waste every year — and how a smart matching algorithm could make a real difference by connecting surplus supplies with clinics in need.

What It Does

MediMatchNinja matches the right medical supplies to the right clinics at the right time. It predicts demand, ranks offers, and prioritizes clinic requests — ensuring resources go where they’re needed most.

How We Built It

We combined business understanding from our conversations with the NGO and encoded their operational rules into our system. We then built a front-end and back-end that integrate seamlessly with their existing website API.

Challenges We Ran Into

Our biggest challenges were finding the best model fit, mathematically translating business needs into data logic, and designing a system flexible enough to integrate smoothly with the NGO’s infrastructure.

Accomplishments We’re Proud Of

We successfully built an MVP that generates personalized recommendations using real NGO data. The model predicts the probability of each clinic needing specific items and displays a ranked list of top recommendations directly in MedCycle’s app and website.

What We Learned

We learned how to rapidly ideate, prototype, iterate, and collaborate with business stakeholders to balance technical feasibility with real-world impact.
