Inspiration

Health insurance is an unknown in the present and we not only want to make it publicly available knowledge, but also make operations easy and stress free.

What it does

Provides a user friendly experience to find the perfect health insurance plan for you along with a map with nearby hospitals and the insurances they accept. Along with this, we provide an easy tool to file claims against any health insurance company at the click of a button.

How we built it

We built the frontend as an Android app in Kotlin using Jetpack Compose for the UI. We used Firebase Authentication for sign-in and account creation, and Firestore to store user profile and insurance information. For document text extraction, we connected the app to a backend OCR service using PaddleOCR. The extracted text goes into Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Preview to generate a claim in a simplified health insurance claim format.

Challenges we ran into

Challenges included improving reliability with capturing documents, understanding the health insurance industry, integrating the backend with the frontend, and structuring the claim.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of building a full stack Android application that has the potential to help many families around the world.

What we learned

We learned a lot about building a full stack application which included:

  • designing around imperfect OCR results
  • handling real mobile camera behavior
  • structuring LLM prompts for more predictable outputs
  • converting from XML-based Android layouts to Jetpack Compose
  • building a better user flow by separating document capture from claim review

What's next for Sael Health

We would like to start reaching out to insurance companies and expand our app to work globally along with including family plans. Another goal is to create the app for IOS devices.
