Challenges I ran into
Challenges I Ran Into :
While developing MediAlert, I faced several challenges that required troubleshooting and creative solutions:
🔴 Live Location Sharing Issues
The SOS alert system initially struggled with fetching and updating live locations in real time due to browser permission restrictions and inconsistent GPS updates.
Solution: Implemented the Geolocation API with proper permission handling and used WebSockets for real-time location tracking.
🤖 Symptom Checker Accuracy
The AI-powered symptom checker sometimes provided vague or irrelevant assessments.
Solution: Integrated Google Gemini API, fine-tuned prompt engineering, and optimized API calls to ensure more accurate and context-aware responses.
🔒 Secure Authentication Handling
Ensuring a smooth yet secure login/signup process was critical.
Solution: Used Privy for authentication, simplifying user access while maintaining security.
🌍 Multi-language Support Implementation
Providing accurate translations for medical terms was challenging.
Solution: Utilized React i18 library for language translation, ensuring that users can interact with MediAlert in their preferred language.
Overcoming these challenges helped refine MediAlert into a reliable and user-friendly healthcare assistant!
