My Application
In the ideathon, I presented an application titled MediLink. MediLink was an innovative mobile app designed to simplify medication management, particularly for the elderly. It targeted common issues like tracking medication intake and managing extensive medical histories. The app featured medication intake reminders, digital storage of health records, and personalized medical advice. Users could easily find and compare local and online pharmacy prices through MediLink. A standout feature was the MediLink chatbot, which utilized machine learning to analyze medical reports and provide interactive feedback. The app aimed to be a one-stop solution, surpassing existing apps by offering comprehensive healthcare history management and chatbot support. MediLink also integrated with bdapps APIs, allowing SMS notifications and secure access to sensitive health information. Its market potential was significant, targeting a large demographic of mobile users over 30 in Bangladesh. The development plan included a wireframe design and the use of Flutter framework, with the possibility of incorporating GPT-4 API for the chatbot. MediLink’s concept was to leverage existing technologies to address real-world healthcare management challenges efficiently. For this application, I secured the third (2nd runner-up) position among over 50 participants and presenters.
