SEHAT

This project was build during a Hackathon

Problem Statement

• Fragmented Medical Records: Current healthcare systems often struggle with unencrypted and fragmented medical records, leading to inefficiencies.
• Inefficient Processes: Healthcare processes are often manual, time-consuming, and lack seamless interoperability.
• Limited Access: Access to healthcare remains limited in rural and remote areas due to infrastructure and security barriers.

Solutions Provided

SEHAT aims to address these challenges with the following key features:

• Blockchain Security: Immutable, secure health records ensure data integrity and protection against tampering.
• Biometric Authentication: Ensures verified, unique user identities, enhancing privacy and security.
• QR-Code Ticketing: Simplifies the patient journey by streamlining the end-to-end experience.
• ML-Powered Recommendations: Helps patients connect to nearby doctors and pharmacies based on their needs.
• Real-Time Pharmacy Data: Decentralized inventory management optimizes pharmaceutical supply chains.
• Aadhaar Integration: Enables secure access for all individuals, particularly those in rural areas.
• Cross-Generational Health Data: Provides holistic healthcare management for families.
• Broader Impact: Simplifies insurance claims processing and visa applications.
