Why Medicwise?

UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 3

UNSDG

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread human suffering.

Facts & Figures

  • In 2020 and 2021, 14.9 million people were estimated to have died due to COVID-19 and its impact on health systems and society.
  • Interruptions in essential health services were reported in 92 per cent of 129 countries surveyed at the end of 2021.
  • As of May 2022, more than 80 per cent of people had received at least one dose of a vaccine in high-income countries but the proportion is only about 17 per cent in low-income countries.
  • Between January 2020 and May 2021, the pandemic may have claimed the lives of 115,500 health and care workers worldwide.
  • 7 million children missed out on vaccinations in 2020, 3.7 million more than in 2019 and the highest number since 2005.
  • 1 million older children did not receive vaccines through the routine immunization programme in 2020, an increase from 13.6 million in 2019.

Goals

  • 3.1 By 2030, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births.

  • 3.2 By 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births.

  • 3.3 By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases.

  • 3.4 By 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being.

  • 3.5 Strengthen the prevention and treatment of substance abuse, including narcotic drug abuse and harmful use of alcohol.


  • We have been forced to stay at home due to the pandemic, and people are doubtful about going out to consult doctors nowadays.
  • People are opting for online personal health care.
  • As a result, we developed a personal care web app that allows patients to consult doctors from the comfort of their own homes.
  • There are over a million deaf & dumb people. There are over 75% of people are uneducated.
  • So we've devised Medicwise as a solution to the problem, so that it is accessible to everyone, regardless of their disabilities, to consult a doctor online.

Features

  • There is a separate Admin Portal dedicated for the doctors. [Click on the link for detailed information and implementation of the portal]
  • Each portion of the Medicwise will have its own Room ID, given to patients by the respective doctors they want to consult. Each doctor will have their own medic code so that patients can appoint them.
  • There is a chat room where you can communicate with your doctor.
  • There is a video room where you may communicate with your doctor via video call.
  • Lastly, there is a gesture room where mute and uneducated people can communicate with doctors using sign language.
  • If the doctor doesn't understand sign language, we have machine learning models implemented using tensorflow that can decode sign language into text.
  • The patient authentication is facilitated with Auth0 Authentication. [with custom Email/Password or Google]
  • The seamless payment gateway implemented using Stripe.

Deployment

The website (client & server) is deployed on Microsoft Azure. The Azure App Service is what we have used to ease our deployment task.

Core features of Azure App Service are:

  • Fully managed service with built-in infrastructure maintenance, security patching, and scaling.
  • Built-in continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) and zero-downtime deployments.
  • Support for virtual networks, and ability to run in an isolated and dedicated App Service Environment.
  • Rigorous security and compliance standards, including SOC and PCI, for seamless deployments in the cloud, in Azure Government, and on premises.

Note There are three client & one server endpoints.

Future Prospects

  • Text-to-Gesture Encoding from Doctor to Client.
  • Implementing a chat box in the video section.
  • Implementing chat bot.
  • Training our ML model to encode and decode many gestures.

People pay the doctor for his trouble; for his kindness, they still remain in his debt.
