🌱 Thrive Together

Wellness is a team sport—we help you build yours, starting with care tailored just for you.

💡 Inspiration

Preventative care often gets overlooked. Many of our relatives struggle with getting access to holistic care, and are unaware of how to best keep themselves healthy. They often don't have the tools or community to guide them. Inspired by these experiences of navigating personal health, we set out to build an easy-to-use tool that helps people take proactive steps towards living a healthier life style.

🩺 What it does

Our web app suggests personal healthcare and screening recommendations along with lifestyle tips based on one's basic health data and medical history. Once you've received your care plan, our platform connects you with local community members who share similar health goals or challenges, because staying healthy is easier (and more fun) with others. Whether you're looking for someone to go on a walk with or accompany you to appointments, ThriveTogether aims to help you build a circle of support to keep you motivated and healthy.

⚙️ How we built it

Backend: Node.js, Next.js, MongoDB
Frontend: React, TailwindCSS, TypeScript
APIs/Libraries: GeminiAPI
Tools: Postman, GitHub Projects

💪 Challenges we ran into

Ensuring AI recommendations were easy to understand and maintained a positive tone
Making the community matching privacy-conscious and figuring out how to add a consent feature
Generating meaningful recommendations from sparse data, we wanted to keep the survey concise but also give recommendations that would actually improve a user's health and lifestyle
Developing a working API layer to seamlessly transfer data between the front and back end

🌟 Accomplishments that we're proud of

First time using Gemini API!
Our first hackathon project!
Sparked meaningful discussions on how to make healthcare holistic, accessible, and community-based without being overwhelming
Focused on developing an app that uses AI to strengthen community connections than replace them

🚧 What's next

Build a community chat feature where users can share experiences, tips, and encouragement, creating a space for support, empathy, and connection.
Allow users to upload their latest blood tests/vaccination reports and parse through these documents to further suggest health plans
Integrate the maps API to group users by location more accurately
