Inspiration

Many older adults and people with disabilities struggle to understand complex medical reports, especially blood tests.
Personally, I’ve seen my grandparents face this problem, they live alone and find it hard to make frequent hospital trips.
This inspired us to create HealthAlzer, a tool that simplifies healthcare access and makes medical data more human-friendly.

What it does

HealthAlzer takes a user’s blood test report and transforms it into clear, easy-to-understand insights.
Instead of confusing charts and numbers, users get simple explanations, health flags, and suggestions for next steps.
It also connects users with doctors for follow-ups and is designed with accessibility in mind for seniors and disabled individuals.

How we built it

  • Frontend: Next.js + TailwindCSS for a clean, accessible interface
  • Backend: Supabase for authentication and secure file storage
  • AI/ML: Gemini API to analyze and explain blood test results in simple language
  • Integration: Appointment booking system for follow-ups with healthcare providers

Challenges we ran into

  • Parsing different blood test formats consistently
  • Ensuring medical accuracy while keeping explanations simple
  • Making the UI accessible for older users with limited tech experience
  • Balancing speed of analysis with cost of running AI models

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a working prototype in a short timeframe
  • Created an accessibility-first design focused on seniors and disabled users
  • Successfully integrated AI-driven analysis with real-world medical report data
  • Developed a meaningful product inspired by personal experiences

What we learned

  • How to structure healthcare data for AI interpretation
  • The importance of accessibility in design, especially for seniors
  • How to integrate Supabase for authentication and secure file uploads
  • Real-world healthcare problems are both technical and deeply human

What's next for HealthAlzer

  • Add multi-language support for non-English speakers
  • Build voice-assistant features for visually impaired users
  • Partner with labs and healthcare providers for direct integration
  • Explore predictive health insights using longitudinal data
