The problem DecentHealth solves

A website which allows documentation of medical history and provides the ability to chat with a chatbot about medical diagnoses and doubts can help solve a number of problems, including:

1. Improving accessibility to medical advice: Many people struggle to access medical advice and diagnoses due to a lack of availability, cost, or geographic distance. A website with a chatbot can provide immediate and cost-effective access to medical advice, regardless of a patient's location.

2. Providing a centralized location for medical history: Many people have fragmented medical histories that are scattered across various healthcare providers and electronic medical records systems. A website that allows for centralized storage of medical history can make it easier for patients to keep track of their medical information and share it with healthcare providers.

3. Encouraging proactive healthcare: By providing access to medical advice and allowing patients to document their medical history, a website can encourage patients to take a more proactive approach to their healthcare. Patients may be more likely to seek advice or care for minor symptoms if they have access to a chatbot or other medical resource.

4. Ensuring privacy and security of medical data: By incorporating decentralization of information, a website can help ensure that medical data is stored securely and privately. Blockchain technology can provide a tamper-proof record of medical data that is protected from unauthorized access or manipulation.

Overall, a website that combines medical history documentation and chatbot-based medical advice can help address a number of healthcare challenges and improve access to healthcare for patients.

Challenges we ran into

•Making the chatbot run properly as it was, and still is, giving a RateLimit Error
• Integrating Blockchain technology to decentralise data for security reasons
• Adding a voice and video call feature
•Mentor expressed that while the ideas are good, it is important to consider how to prevent data leakage and address integrity, trust, and transparency issues. The research should continue to explore methods to prevent data breaches in case any node is hacked.
