AIDE - Diagnostics & Engagement Services

AIDE is a healthcare triage system designed to optimize patient flow in clinics and hospitals. Built for the Waterloo Future Cities Institute hackathon by Jaineel Patel and Dhruv Joshi.

Features

• Patient Intake System: Patients can register via web form with symptoms, urgency level, and visit details
• Intelligent Queue Management: Automatic triage scoring and positioning based on urgency and visit type
• Real-time Dashboard: Admins can view live queue, complete appointments, and see statistics
• Automated Advisal: Automatic advisal messages based on symptoms
• Email Summaries: Automatic visit summary emails via SendGrid

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React + Vite
• Backend: Flask (Python)
• AI Integration: Gemini/GPT
• Voice Integration: ElevenLabs Voice Agent API
• email integration: Sendgrid API

Quick Start

Backend Setup

cd backend

# Create virtual environment (if not exists)
python3 -m venv venv

# Activate virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the server
python app.py

Backend will run on http://localhost:5001

Frontend Setup

cd frontend

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run development server
npm run dev

Frontend will run on http://localhost:3000

API Endpoints

• POST /api/patient/intake - Submit new patient intake
• GET /api/patients - Get all patients in queue
• PUT /api/patients/<id>/complete - Mark patient as completed
• PUT /api/patients/<id>/cancel - Cancel patient from queue
• GET /api/stats - Get queue statistics
• GET /health - Health check

Note: Backend runs on port 5001 (instead of 5000) to avoid conflict with macOS AirPlay Receiver on port 5000.

How AIDE Works

1. Patient Registration: Patients fill out intake form with:

   • Personal information (name, email, phone)
   • Symptoms/visit purpose
   • Visit type (advisal, follow-up, routine, emergency)
   • Estimated duration
   • Urgency level (1-10)

2. AI Triage Scoring: AIDE calculates a triage score based on:

   • Urgency level (weighted heavily)
   • Visit type (emergency gets priority)
   • Estimated duration (shorter visits prioritized for efficiency)

3. Queue Positioning: Patients are automatically positioned in queue by triage score

4. Real-time Updates: Admin dashboard shows live queue with full patient details

5. Completion: Admins can mark patients as complete or cancel them from the queue

Demo Flow

1. Start both backend and frontend servers
2. Fill out patient intake form as a patient
3. Switch to Admin Dashboard to see the queue
4. Complete or cancel patients as needed
5. Watch statistics update in real-time
