Inspiration

During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, visiting hospitals and witnessing the immense pressure on healthcare systems revealed how outdated and slow traditional outbreak tracking methods were. Observing patients struggle for reliable information—and public health officials eager for live, actionable data—inspired us to create Washington Guardian: an AI-powered health monitoring platform for fast, community-driven response. Our mission is to make real-time health data, AI insights, and location-based symptom reporting accessible for all, turning digital resilience into a public health standard.

    Interactive maps powered by the Google Maps JavaScript API and custom layers to highlight live health risks.

  • Symptom Reporting:
    An anonymous system for users to report symptoms, powering early detection and robust health analytics.

  • AI Medical Assistant:
    Instant health guidance and answers to medical questions via a built-in AI chat interface.

  • Travel Health Monitoring:
    Location-based health risk and travel alerts for users on the go.

  • Data Visualization Dashboards:
