AI-Enabled Decentralized Care Orchestration System

AI-powered healthcare orchestration system for India 🇮🇳

🏆 AI for Bharat Hackathon 2024

This project is a submission for the AI for Bharat Hackathon 2024 (Professional Track - Healthcare & Life Sciences).

Problem: India's healthcare system is overloaded - 1.4 billion people, limited doctors, hospitals overwhelmed with routine cases.

Solution: Intelligent AI+human triage system that routes patients to appropriate care levels, reducing hospital burden by 30% while improving access for rural populations.

---

A serverless healthcare orchestration system built on AWS that intelligently routes patients to appropriate care levels while maintaining strict human oversight. Designed specifically for India's healthcare network with cost efficiency, scalability, and responsible AI practices.

HOMEPAGE
   ↓
   ├─→ "Tell Us Your Symptoms" → SYMPTOM INTAKE
   │                                    ↓
   │                          "Get AI Triage Assessment"
   │                                    ↓
   ├─→ "AI Triage" tile ────────→ TRIAGE DASHBOARD

                                 "Book Appointment"

Two Main Patient Paths

Path A - Full AI-Assisted Journey:

1. Homepage → Symptom Intake (report symptoms, severity, duration)
2. AI Triage Dashboard (view assessment, severity, recommendations)
3. Provider Search (AI-powered semantic search with match scores)
4. Book Appointment

Path B - Direct Provider Search:

1. Homepage → Provider Search (direct access to AI provider matching)
2. Book Appointment

All screens include a home icon for easy navigation back to the dashboard.

Architecture Overview

The system uses a serverless microservices architecture with the following key components:

• Patient Portal: Progressive Web App for symptom intake
• Triage Engine: AI-assisted symptom assessment with human validation
• Provider Network: Real-time provider discovery and capacity management
• Care Coordination: Intelligent patient routing and care pathway execution
• Referral System: Automated escalation workflows between care levels
• Episode Tracking: Comprehensive care continuity and history management

Technology Stack

• Infrastructure: AWS CDK (TypeScript)
• Compute: AWS Lambda (Node.js 18.x)
• Database: Amazon DynamoDB
• API: Amazon API Gateway
• Authentication: Amazon Cognito
• AI: Amazon Bedrock (Claude 3 Haiku)
• Notifications: Amazon SNS
• Monitoring: Amazon CloudWatch
• Testing: Jest + fast-check (property-based testing)

Key Features

• Human-in-the-Loop: All AI recommendations require human validation
• Cost-Efficient AI: Limited to one LLM call per care episode
• India-Specific: Multilingual support, low-bandwidth optimization, cost-conscious routing
• Secure: End-to-end encryption, RBAC, comprehensive audit trails
• Scalable: Auto-scaling serverless architecture
• Resilient: Graceful degradation and fault tolerance

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18.x or later
• AWS CLI configured with appropriate permissions
• AWS CDK CLI installed globally

Installation

1. Clone the repository

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Build the project:
