OTC Medicine Recommendation

Inspiration

I am well aware that a multitude of individuals do not have the privilege of healthcare and when faced with an illness, might not be able to get a diagnosis from a doctor. Additionally, searching online for medication for an illness is extremely confusing. There are tons of options and it is hard to narrow the search down when the individual is experiencing multiple symptoms. I wanted to create an easy way for people to classify what OTC medicine is the best match for their current symptoms.

What it does

The user first inputs the symptoms that they are experiencing. I have then done research online and singled out a couple of the "best" OTC medicines to cure a given symptom (through webmd, doctor recommendations, blog post recommendations, etc). After the user inputs their symptoms they can see which OTC medicines they need to buy to relieve their symptoms.

How I built it

I built the web app through Blazor Webassembly, a combination of HTML and C#. For the medical recommendations, I did research online for each symptom and eventually landed on a couple of medical solutions. The rest was logic and variables.

Challenges we ran into

Setting up a theme for the Blazor page was considerably hard (I added a dark theme instead of the default light) A couple of errors when uploading the site onto Github Pages

What's next for OTC Medicine Recommendation

Improvements to the UI, fonts, better buttons etc. Adding more symptoms/medicines Adding exceptions for bugs (user trying to delete a symptom when no symptoms are on the list)
