CareConnect: AI-Powered Healthcare Data Processing

🏥 Inspiration

Access to quality healthcare is a global challenge, with half the population lacking essential health services. Overcrowded systems, delayed diagnoses, and poor-quality care result in millions of preventable deaths annually. CareConnect was inspired by the need to bridge this gap by bringing healthcare closer to patients and supporting doctors in making faster, more accurate decisions.

🔍 What It Does

CareConnect processes medical data by storing it in a Snowflake database, where documents are divided into manageable chunks using LangChain. A hybrid search system powered by Cortex Search enables low-latency, high-quality retrieval of relevant information by combining vector and keyword-based search, ensuring precise and contextualized responses.

Users interact through a Streamlit interface to upload prescriptions or ask health-related questions, with relevant data extracted and matched from the database. This information is then processed by the Mistral AI model to generate accurate, context-aware responses, streamlining diagnosis and decision-making in healthcare.
