During our research about healthcare system in Indonesia we came to know about many challenges and issues that the country is facing right now in healthcare industry. The dense population and the unpredictable weather makes the health care facilities hard to avail on time. The lack of transportation as well as small chain of qualified hospitals make it very difficult for people to afford them. Their is a need of a direct communication channel, between the patient and the doctor that should be established over the barriers of bad weather, long distance, no transportation etc. The challenges in the healthcare sector inspired us to solve this issue.

Being this our 1st hackathon we got to learn more about Indonesia, the challenges they face and how bravely they are solving those challenges. While programming solution as well we came across many handy tools and APIs suggested by our mentors which made our work easy and reduced the time consumption.

We built a virtual human app for connecting people directly to a virtual doctor and help them solve their issues real quick. We aim to preserve healthcare staff for the most important healthcare needs and use Digital Healthcare Assistant to do the rest. So our app used java as the GUI software programming language. Our website is created using CSS, HTML and JavaScript. Now using APIs we connected website and app to python-NLU where we have brain of our AI with response intents written in Json file. We used Blender and MakeHuman Blender API for making 3D rigged model and then using blender-python API connected them with the brain. Netbeans IDE with python plugin was used to connect blender-python API with our GUI and that's how we build our Thrifty AI Med virtual human.

We faced challenges finding write APIs, establishing connections between various environments, importing proper modules and building rigged model in short time.
