🚀 What We’re Building — Health Fact Guardian (HFG)

An autonomous “AI Health Crisis Agent” that spots dangerous medical rumors before they go viral, verifies them using WHO/ICMR/peer-reviewed evidence, and broadcasts easy-to-understand Truth Cards via WhatsApp, dashboards, and partner health apps.

👉 Think of it as a rapid-response health misinformation firefighter — real-time, trusted, multilingual, explainable.
