MedMastery: Empowering Healthcare Communication

We are a team of seventh grade girls from Redwood Middle School, thrilled to participate in our first hackathon. Each of us brings unique skills to the table:

Era excels in coding.
Shriya leverages AI for creating audio content.
Dia is adept at planning and organization.
I specialize in designing characters for our app.

Our shared passion for robotics inspired us to combine these skills to create MedMastery.

Problem and Solution

Effective communication between healthcare providers and patients significantly impacts patient care and outcomes, and sometimes this communication can lead to misinterpretations. MedMastery addresses this by:

Quiz Section: A fun, interactive tool to assess and enhance practitioner knowledge. Questions are generated from ChatGPT and range from true/false to multiple-choice, presented in CSV format. We used HTML for design, JavaScript for functionality (grading, alerts, point system), and ElevenLabs for text-to-audio conversion and personalization.
Conversation Assistant: Utilizing Open AI’s sentiment analysis, this tool allows practitioners to practice patient interactions. It assesses responses based on sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) and effectiveness (score from 1 to 10). Developed in Python and Streamlit, integrated with Visual Studio Code and hosted on Streamlit Cloud.

Implementation

The app features:

API integration with Open AI, Chat GPT.
Specific instructions for Chat GPT to evaluate practitioner responses.
Development on GitHub with execution in GitHub Codespaces.

Learning and Future Enhancements

In just three days, we learned Python programming basics and applied them to create a practical tool for healthcare professionals. Future enhancements include:

Visual improvements (fonts, graphics, character choices).
Increasing quiz difficulty levels.
Providing recommendations to modify practitioner responses for improved patient interaction.

Conclusion

Participating in this hackathon was an enriching experience, from conceptualization to execution. We look forward to expanding our programming skills and contributing to more hackathons in the future.
