Medipod: AI-Powered Digital Healthcare Platform
Medipod is an end-to-end, AI-integrated healthcare platform built to modernize how patients access care and how providers deliver it. It unifies AI symptom assessment, provider discovery, appointment booking, payments, and virtual consultations into one seamless digital experience. The platform is designed to reduce friction in healthcare access while empowering clinics with intelligent tools and real-time patient insights.
The Story
The Problem
Healthcare systems suffer from fragmented patient experiences, long wait times, and inefficient clinic operations. Patients struggle to find appropriate care quickly, while providers lack intelligent tools to streamline consultations and patient management.
The Solution
Built a comprehensive digital healthcare ecosystem that bridges the gap between initial symptoms, AI-driven triage, doctor discovery, appointment booking, and virtual consultations. Integrated OpenAI for intelligent symptom assessment, Jitsi Meet for secure video consultations, and Stripe for seamless payment processing.
My Approach
Architected a component-driven, scalable healthcare platform with AI-first design principles, secure data handling, and real-time synchronization across all modules.
