Inspiration

In an era where misinformation can spread rapidly on social media, Medihub stands as a trusted platform dedicated to combating false information. With a community of verified medical professionals, Medihub offers a reliable space where experts can share their knowledge and opinions. By providing a platform for accurate and verified medical information, Medihub ensures that users have access to reliable insights and expertise.

What it does

Medihub ensures that users can access a wealth of vetted medical knowledge, enabling them to make informed decisions about their health. Whether it's seeking guidance on specific health concerns, understanding complex medical topics, or participating in live Q&A sessions, Medihub offers a comprehensive range of resources tailored to meet the diverse needs of its users. Using MediHub, medical experts and professionals have the opportunity to sign up and, upon verification, create informative posts on various medical topics within their area of expertise. They can also host live Q&A sessions exclusively for their followers. Users who join the platform can follow their preferred medical experts and topics of interest, explore trending medical subjects, and actively participate in live Q&A sessions. Additionally, they have access to a wide range of resources related to healthcare.

How we built it

  • MediHub is a web application built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, ExpressJS, ReactJS, NodeJS).
  • The frontend application is hosted on Google App Engine.
  • The backend server is hosted on Google Compute Engine.
  • Application data is managed on a MongoDB database.
  • All application and server secrets are managed by Google Secret Manager.
  • Identity Access Management (IAM) is handled by Pangea AuthN.
  • Pangea Redact is used to ensure that no platform content or interactions contain vulgarity or personal information.

Challenges we ran into

  • As a social media application, the possibilities for feature development seemed limitless. I faced the challenge of selecting and refining features, which led to some aspects feeling incomplete.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

MediHub is a comprehensive application that serves as a trusted source of verified medical information. Despite the time constraints of the hackathon, I have worked diligently to develop a feature-packed platform. I am proud of my achievements so far and am excited to continue improving and expanding MediHub in the future.

What's next for MediHub

  • By leveraging Google Cloud NLP services, MediHub will enhance its content analysis capabilities. This includes sentiment analysis to identify the tone of user-generated content, entity recognition to extract medical terms and concepts, and language detection to support multilingual interactions.
  • Google Cloud Pub/Sub will be utilized for real-time messaging and communication between users during live chat sessions.
  • Google Cloud Storage will provide a scalable and secure storage solution for multimedia content, such as medical images, videos, or documents shared within the platform.
  • Incorporating MongoDB Charts can provide interactive and visually appealing data visualizations to help users understand medical trends, statistics, and insights more effectively.
