Not everyone uses smart phones. Whether it is because of personal preference or usability issues, there are still people who use older phones. This can make finding information on the nearby health care providers a difficult task while one is out and about. To solve this, we developed a service where users can use text messages to find information on health care providers nearby.
We used Twilio to handle incoming and outgoing text messages. CTA API (city of Chicago data portal) is used to find the user’s location without using a GPS signal. By getting the user’s location, we are able to use Yelp API and BetterDoctor API to retrieve information on nearby health care providers and return this information to the user via Twilio.
