MOM - My Own Medic

Inspiration

Thousands suffer from medication errors, misdiagnosis, and preventable health risks due to a lack of real-time information. Our team has personally experienced the devastating impact of misdiagnosis and incorrect medications. We wanted to bridge the gap between doctors and patients by creating an AI-powered medical assistant that ensures informed decisions, prevents errors, and promotes proactive health management.

What It Does

MOM is an AI-driven personal medical assistant that:

Tracks patient health records (EHR).
Validates medications based on medical history and allergies.
Predicts long-term health risks and flags abnormal trends.
Provides dietary recommendations based on medications, allergies, and location.
Assists in doctor visits by summarizing key discussion points.
Alerts emergency contacts in critical situations.

How We Built It

Tech Stack: Open-source AI models, Python for AI processing and API calls, PHP for the web interface, and Firebase for database storage and real-time updates.
Development Process: We focused on integrating AI-driven health insights with a responsive web interface, ensuring seamless interaction between users and MOM. API calls facilitate communication between the AI model, the web platform, and the database, enabling real-time medication validation, risk prediction, and dietary tracking.

Challenges We Ran Into

Time Constraints: Had only half a day to build a working prototype.
Balancing AI Guidance: Ensuring MOM provides non-alarming yet informative recommendations.

Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

Developed a functional AI prototype that interacts with users and validates medications.
Implemented personalized health tracking and risk prediction.
Designed MOM to be user-friendly, informative, and reassuring, avoiding unnecessary panic while promoting proactive care.

What We Learned

The critical role of real-time health insights in preventing medical harm.
The importance of AI-driven personalization in healthcare solutions.
How small, timely interventions can significantly improve patient safety.

What's Next for MOM - My Own Medic
