The problem Self Med solves
SelfMed solves the pressing problem of fragmented and impersonal health solutions by offering an all-in-one AI-powered platform that addresses physical fitness, nutrition, mental wellness, and emergency care. In a world where people struggle with finding personalized guidance, staying motivated, and accessing timely health support, SelfMed steps in with tailored workout and diet plans, real-time progress tracking, mental health tools like yoga and meditation, and a 24/7 chatbot for continuous support. It also ensures user safety with an integrated SOS feature that can alert nearby hospitals and emergency contacts during critical situations. By unifying multiple aspects of health and well-being into a single, smart app, SelfMed empowers users to take control of their health in a convenient, holistic, and intelligent way.
Challenges we ran into
While building SelfMed, one major challenge we faced was integrating real-time live location tracking and emergency contact alerts. Ensuring that the feature worked seamlessly across different devices and under varying network conditions was technically complex. We also encountered hurdles while training the AI symptom checker to respond accurately to vague or incomplete user inputs. To overcome these, we implemented fallback responses and enhanced the model's contextual understanding using medical datasets. Collaborating as a team, we resolved these bugs through rigorous testing, debugging GPS inconsistencies, and optimizing the backend logic to ensure reliability, speed, and accuracy across all modules.
