What Gave Us the Idea
MediScan was inspired by the need for accessible, understandable, and personalized healthcare, especially for individuals in underserved communities. The aim was to bridge gaps in healthcare access and empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health.
What It Does
MediScan is like a smart helper that checks your symptoms. It uses Gemini (Implemented with API keys) to figure out what's wrong and tell you what to do. It asks questions in the form of text, voice, and images, looks at your symptoms, tells you what might be happening, and suggests what to do next. It also gives you info about medicines, like if you need a doctor's note to get them and what side effects they might have. It also helps you find places nearby to get help, like clinics and drug stores.
How We Made It
MediScan uses AI and machine learning for symptom analysis, natural language processing to understand user input, and a user-friendly interface built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Problems We Had
One of the biggest problems was making sure the AI was accurate about our symptoms. It often provided inaccurate results, or no results at all. However, we persevered and pulled an all nighter to fix our code and make a stunning project.
What We Did Well
We are proud that we made a symptom checker that's easy to use and can help people find the right info and places to get care. We think it can make a big difference in how people take care of their health.
What We Learned
We learned a lot about computers (AI), making websites, and why it's important to have the right medical info.
What's Next for Us
We want to make the computer even smarter, make sure it's even better at checking symptoms, add more things to do (like video calls with doctors), and work with clinics to use MediScan in real life.
