MedicAI

Inspiration

We've all left a doctor's office feeling more confused than when we arrived. This common experience highlights a critical issue: over 80% of Americans say access to their complete health records is crucial, yet 63% lack their medical history and vaccination records since birth. Recognizing this gap, we developed our app to empower patients with real-time transcriptions of doctor visits, easy access to health records, and instant answers from our AI doctor avatar. Our goal is to ensure EVERYONE has the tools to manage their health confidently and effectively.

What it does

Our app provides real-time transcription of doctor visits, easy access to personal health records, and an AI doctor for instant follow-up questions, empowering patients to manage their health effectively.

How we built it

We used Node.js, Next.js, webRTC, React, Figma, Spline, Firebase, Gemini, Deepgram.

Challenges we ran into

One of the primary challenges we faced was navigating the extensive documentation associated with new technologies. Learning to implement these tools effectively required us to read closely and understand how to integrate them in unique ways to ensure seamless functionality within our website. Balancing these complexities while maintaining a cohesive user experience tested our problem-solving skills and adaptability. Along the way, we struggled with Git and debugging.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our proudest achievement is developing the AI avatar, as there was very little documentation available on how to build it. This project required us to navigate through various coding languages and integrate the demo effectively, which presented significant challenges. Overcoming these obstacles not only showcased our technical skills but also demonstrated our determination and creativity in bringing a unique feature to life within our application.

What we learned

We learned the importance of breaking problems down into smaller, manageable pieces to construct something big and impactful. This approach not only made complex challenges more approachable but also fostered collaboration and innovation within our team. By focusing on individual components, we were able to create a cohesive and effective solution that truly enhances patient care. Also, learned a valuable lesson on the importance of sleep!

What's next for MedicAI

With the AI medical industry projected to exceed $188 billion, we plan to scale our website to accommodate a growing number of users. Our next steps include partnering with hospitals to enhance patient access to our services, ensuring that individuals can seamlessly utilize our platform during their healthcare journey. By expanding our reach, we aim to empower more patients with the tools they need to manage their health effectively.
