This repo consists of our simple prototype for the National Medtech Foundation 'Hackathon', we worked on a project in the telemedicine stream.
Our idea was to create VEXA (Virtual EXaminations and Assessments), a "if this then that" preconsulting tool that provides simple instructions for patients to perform simple checks to hopefully aid and speed up the telemedicine consult.
App is deployed here: https://dia-ndwbv5pji-nic-olo.vercel.app/
Note: Since this is a 1 day hack, this is just a preprogrammed chat flow
With the current telemedicine setup, physical checkups are mostly just ignored during telemedicine consultations, so they would be ignored as part of the process as a whole. We had found some research evidence that simple physical checks can be done by patients or with their carers to help with the diagnosis.
For example:
- Pinching your fingertips and seeing how long it takes to turn from white to pink
- Pulling down your eyebags to see if there is yellowing
- etc
So we came up with an idea to introduce videos on how to perform those simple checks in a chat based approach.
The App flow
Instead of building out our hack idea using typeforms, we decided to use our programming skills to build out a simple chat bot framework for demoing preprogrammed flows, totally unnecessary but the team did it for fun.
We built out a system with
- A place to store our questions
- A place to store the cards (like a yes/no card, video card, multi choice card, info card) we support for the bot to use
- And a simple system to add what you want the bot to say and with what card
Here, you can see it being used for a medtech idea demo: https://dia-ndwbv5pji-nic-olo.vercel.app/
Purely frontend:
- React 18
