The problem Medict - The Disease Predictor solves

Money and time are the most valuable commodities in the 21st century. That goes for routine health screenings as well. These days, people are more concerned with money and time than health, which leads to deteriorating mental and physical health. The symptoms of certain diseases are often recognized by people, yet they neglect to get a checkup for the same reason, i.e. time and money. Medical checkups can now be accessed at the tips of your fingers without cost thanks to Medict. The web-based interface uses an experienced and learned bot to determine the illness or disease you are facing based on the symptoms you provide. As a machine learning application, the bot has already been exposed to such situations. Your health situation can be almost accurately predicted with Medict. In addition, Medict provides informational blogs about different health problems and the cures that people encounter every day.
Hence, we hope to receive positive feedback.

Challenges we ran into

While developing and deploying the website for disease prediction we certainly ran into two major problems:
One of which was how to handle the dataset as online there were plenty of datasets available but the challenge was to pick the one which gives out near correct prediction, so there we go through different datasets present on the web and combined about 3-4 dataset in such a way that the dataset becomes perfect(not too more or not too less).
The second one was the difficulty to get free hosting for our web app as in the market there are a very few hosting providers who are providing hosting services for Django for free and the ones that are providing are having certain limitations and somehow we manage to deploy our application to live in a limited server environment. Here we used the pythonanywhere hosting provider to get our web app live to showcase.
