Tibatech: AI-Powered Healthcare Assistance App

Inspiration

The inspiration behind Tibatech stemmed from the need for accessible healthcare solutions, especially in underserved communities with limited medical facilities. Many people struggle with self-diagnosis, long hospital queues, and difficulty accessing reliable healthcare information. We envisioned an AI-powered assistant that could provide preliminary symptom analysis, connect users with doctors, and help them locate nearby clinics.

What it does

Tibatech serves as a digital healthcare companion, offering:

  • AI-driven Symptom Checker to provide preliminary diagnoses.
  • Telemedicine Services for virtual doctor consultations.
  • Clinic Locator to help users find nearby healthcare facilities.
  • Offline Mode for access in low-connectivity areas.
  • Voice Interaction for accessibility and convenience.

How we built it

We developed Tibatech using a combination of modern technologies:

  • Frontend: React Bootstrap CSS.
  • Backend: Flask for handling API requests.
  • Symptom Checker: Built from scratch using Python to ensure accuracy and performance.
  • AI/NLP: Hugging Face models for the chatbot.
  • Voice Processing: Mozilla DeepSpeech for voice interaction.
  • Database: Mongodb for user data and clinic information.
  • Offline Support: IndexedDB and Service Workers.
  • Cloud Hosting: AWS Cloud.
  • Location-Based Healthcare: Integrated using Mapbox for precise clinic mapping and navigation.

Challenges we ran into

  • Ensuring Accuracy: Implementing AI models that provide reliable symptom analysis while avoiding misinformation.
  • Data Privacy: Managing and storing sensitive health data securely.
