This innovation will be useful for those who, for certain reasons, do not have access to medical services, because, for example, they are in the front-line zone or abroad. By downloading the SAIDtoME mobile application, it will be possible to use the services of appropriate counseling and receive prescriptions for treatment with the help of artificial intelligence.
How will the application work?
– The essence of this application is that it will not only speed up the establishment of the diagnosis, but also improve the quality of self-treatment of people who are unable to seek medical help in time. The program is able to independently analyze the symptoms entered by the user and, based on this data, accurately indicate the problem and disease, says Liliana Mirchuk, one of the project members.
You will be able to use the Chabot services for a long time, until full recovery. So, if the patient finds himself in circumstances where the doctor is not around, then by downloading the SAIDtoME medical application, he will be able to write his problems and symptoms to the Chabot, find out the diagnosis, get the appropriate recipe, communicate with an AI doctor or with a real doctor, until he fully recovers, and read information about the current state of his health.
The program will have free and paid versions. Free version will work in such a way that the patient will enter his symptoms into the Chabot, and the artificial intelligence will read and analyze them. So it will be able to make a diagnosis and give recommendations for treatment. For accuracy, the information entered by the user during registration: age, gender, previous or existing diseases, will be also taken into account.
After signing up for a paid subscription, you can not only describe your symptoms, but also send photos. Also we plan to expand the possibilities of the program, adding consultations with real doctors, who patients will be able to find for free through the application, but the consultation itself will be paid for. In general, the paid version will provide many more features than the free one, including reading health indicators from smart watches, as well as more accurate results.
From idea to implementation
According to the WHO, 3.5 billion people, which is almost half of the world’s population, do not have access to proper medical services. In Ukraine, this indicator is increasing due to war and forced refugees or even internal displacement.
The student had the idea to develop a medical application that would help people who are far from a doctor last academic year. At that time the first-year students of the Department of Artificial Intelligence Systems – Liliana Mirchuk, Oksana Mazurak, Anastasiia Veretilnyk, Yaryna Olenyn, Oleksandra Krykunova, Vladyslav Pavlysk and Orest Bahlai, came up with the idea of such an app, when, within the framework of dual education, they were working in a team at the IT company SoftServe.
Students made up the Esprit (from the French – mind) team. For three months, they were analyzing the market and developing their own business model. This is how the idea of the SAIDtoME application was born. In September, in the second year of study, the team started to develop the project. All team members participated in the Startup School from Vector Software, attended Christian Vig’s lectures, and joined the Competition ITs DISCO Boost, held within the DISCO Innovation Lab Lviv 2023 project.
Today, the first MVP and landing page are ready, including the user registration system and chat with artificial intelligence. By autumn, the team plans to develop the main part of the product.
Information about the innovation will be distributed through hospitals and clinics. In the future, medical advertising will be used to promote the application, which will be placed on the Internet. In short, anyone who needs medical assistance will be able to access SAIDtoME.
