Inspiration
Accessing timely healthcare in college can be challenging due to limited clinic hours and delayed response times. We wanted to create a system that empowers students to get quick medical guidance, automate appointment scheduling, and make healthcare more convenient
What it does
PharmAI is an intelligent telemedicine platform designed for college students. It features an AI-powered health assistant that interacts with students, evaluates symptom severity, and recommends suitable next steps — such as visiting the campus doctor, consulting online, or following self-care measures. The system can also compare medicine prices across pharmacies and purchase them on behalf of the student, ensuring affordable and accessible care.
How we built it
We built the frontend using React.js and JavaScript, enabling a fast, interactive user interface where students can easily input symptoms and receive recommendations. The backend, built with Python (FastAPI/Flask), handles health assessment logic, API endpoints, and data management.
Challenges we ran into
Designing a reliable AI model to interpret user symptoms and suggest accurate advice. Managing seamless communication between the React frontend and Python backend. Handling asynchronous API calls and ensuring secure data transfer. Integrating external pharmacy APIs for real-time price comparison and purchase.
What we learned
How to integrate AI-driven decision-making into real-world web applications. Building smooth frontend-backend communication using REST APIs. Working with asynchronous data flow and third-party APIs effectively.
