Medverse is a platform designed for licensed medical professionals to share their diagnoses and receive opinions from their peers. It's like StackOverflow, but specifically for doctors. The platform is semi-anonymous, ensuring the privacy of its users while maintaining the integrity and professionalism of the discussions by verifying that all users are licensed doctors or medical professionals.

• Case Sharing: Doctors can share complex cases and their diagnoses, fostering a collaborative environment for learning and problem-solving.
• Peer Opinions: Doctors can provide their opinions on shared cases, contributing to a collective understanding and potentially better patient outcomes.
• Semi-anonymous System: To maintain privacy, doctors can interact semi-anonymously. Their identities are verified during sign-up but are not publicly disclosed.
• Verified Users: To ensure the quality of the discussions, all users are verified as licensed doctors or medical professionals.

Medverse is built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) and Next.js for the frontend. The project is divided into two main parts:

• Frontend: The frontend is built using Next.js, a popular React framework. It uses the Clerk library for user authentication and Radix UI for the dropdown menu. The frontend also uses Tailwind CSS for styling. You can find the frontend code in the frontend directory.

• Backend: The backend is built using Express.js and MongoDB Atlas for the database. It uses several libraries such as bcrypt for password hashing, jsonwebtoken for generating JWT tokens, and mongoose for object modeling. You can find the backend code in the backend directory.

• Uses Google Cloud's Healthcare API to Deidentify patient information. IE remove all protected health information before a post is created, so that the doctor doesn't have to do it on their own.

To get started with the project, you need to run both the frontend and backend servers.

backend .env

MONGO_URL = 

frontend .env

NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_SIGN_IN_URL='/sign-in'
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_SIGN_UP_URL='/sign-up'
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL='/home'
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL='/verify-licence'
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=
CLERK_SECRET_KEY=
GCS_CLIENT_EMAIL=
GCS_PRIVATE_KEY=

Navigate to the frontend directory and run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

Navigate to the backend directory and run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

The backend server will start on http://localhost:5000.
