Inspiration

My motivation to participate in this hackathon came from my family as one of my family member is suffering with the Thalassemia disease and the suffering he has to undergo everyday is inexplicable. The problem we face for consulting the doctors during the emergencies and also during the Blood Transfusion is horrendous and the pain our family member has to undergo fro every dose of chelation therapy is very fatal.I wasn't aware of the Bloodwarriors and when i got to know them i have noticed some gaps which i thought can be solved. When i learned that many rely on fragmented Whatsapp groups and manual reminders, i knew this wasn't just a technical challenge, but a human one.my goal became clear: to create a system that keeps life-saving care flowing, without falling through the cracks.

What it does

Our Medication Support is built to

  1. Tracks Iron chelation doses
  2. Reminds patients and logs side effects
  3. Flags high-risk symptoms early and facilitates quick doctor access

Smart Blood Donor Management

  1. Matches patients with eligible and matching Blood Groups and nearby donors
  2. Notifies and reassigns donors automatically
  3. Prevents donor burnout by load balancing through Geolocation Tracking

This allows patients, caregivers, and NGOs to operate a reliable system without manual panic every time a donor drops off or a dose is missed.

How we built it

I've ran an extensive research into existing solutions , a web-based platform already used by 1,110 patients across five centers in India. However, we identified gaps in mobile accessibility, AI-powered risk detection, and dynamic donor management.I am planning to use a modular architecture to keep the platform scalable and accessible

  1. Frontnd: React+vue for web based application, with support for local language UI
  2. Backend: FastAPI and Flask (Python) for API and business logic
  3. ML Models: Used historical data to predict missed adherence and donor dropout risk. For this i am using SERP API.
  4. Database: MongoDB Atlas for user data, Firebase for real-time sync
  5. Cloud Infrastructure: Vercel for hosting, Twilio for SMS/WhatsApp integration and OmniDim for real time Calling Integration.
  6. Admin Dashboards: Streamlit + Plotly for real-time insights used by NGO coordinators

Challenges I ran into

  1. Designing an interface that works for low-literacy and rural users
  2. Handling cases where patients or donors had limited or no internet access
  3. Building fallback flows (like SMS prompts) for edge cases
  4. Integrating teleconsultation features securely

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built and tested the symptom-tracking bot with real input from caregivers
