Inspiration

Growing up with both parents working in hospitals and doctor's offices has kept me up to date with modern problems within the healthcare industry. One problem they always complained about was patient-hospital communication. When it came to applying treatments and prescribing medication, there was always a disconnect between the two. This often leads to unnecessary, avoidable errors that could sometimes even harm patients. I wanted to help connect patients with hospitals via an app.

How we built it

We built off the back of NextJS to create Meddy. Tailwind and ShadCN were essential to making everything look amazing in such a short time.

Our backend runs off Mongoose to reach our Mongo Database, and uses OpenAI's API to run Meddy AI. We also make a call to Google Maps' Embed API.

GenAI was instrumental to creating our dummy data for an app that feels realistic even in this early state.

Challenges we ran into

Deploying the site to Vercel was a real bear. We fought with ESLint so hard for hours over something that ended up being a logic error
Implementing Meddy AI was also a giant pain. OpenAI API documentation was not super helpful so we were mostly on our own
Styling issues constantly plagued the project. We kept on overwriting each other's files and bringing long-lost files back from the dead. We started off with feature branches, but quickly realized they were too cumbersome for the speed at which we needed to develop, favoring the good ol' "Can I push yet?" strategy.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It's a real website! We did it, Mom!
Medical Provider Tinder was super fun to plan out and implement. It was one of the first feature-complete portions of the project
We got Meddy AI to work! And since we implemented it on the provider's side of things, we kept the usual ethical and security concerns to a minimum
It's a really, REALLY pretty site!!

What we learned

We should use Prettier from line 1 of code. Style guidelines are more essential than we thought
AI is super helpful for making official-looking dummy data and logos
Documentation can only get you so far. Sometimes you need to hit your head against the wall for a couple hours to find the solution
Constant communication about what we're doing and what our plans are kept us nice and AGILE during development. We avoided duplicating functionality and spread out the to do list items across ourselves

What's next for Meddy
