Taking pills ought to be beneficial to your health and should in no way be harmful to you. In light of this, we intend to design a user-friendly integrated app that will comprise the following four modules:
Expired Tablets Reminder: This module, which was developed specifically for persons who are afflicted with chronic diseases, notifies users in a timely manner of the impending expiration of their drugs. Pill Reminder is a function that ensures users are reminded to take their medications at the specified times, which increases adherence to the dosage schedules that have been given. Recommendations for Diet: This module, which is based on the health profiles and medication schedules of users, provides individualized dietary recommendations to improve general well-being.
Doctor Consultation: This module takes into account the users' current health conditions as well as their location in order to make recommendations for appropriate doctors who are able to treat the users' particular health concerns.
In addition to that, the application will feature a chatbot, which is a type of virtual assistant that provides health advice and information about home remedies for common health problems. The goal of this interactive feature is to increase user engagement and provide helpful insights about leading a healthy lifestyle.

Your Operational Plan & Funding

What is your operational model and plan?

At this stage, our operational focus is on collecting information. We haven't started any active steps yet, as we're in the early phase of gathering data for our health management solution

What is your plan for becoming financially sustainable?

As students, we have limited resources, but there are a number of things you can do to make Medi Advisor financially sustainable. Here are a few ideas:

Apply for grants and funding opportunities. There are a number of grants and funding opportunities available for student entrepreneurs. Some of these opportunities are specifically designed to support the development and launch of healthcare-related products and services.
Seek out partnerships with other organizations. Partnering with other organizations can help you to reduce costs and to reach a wider audience. For example, you could partner with a local pharmacy to offer Medi Advisor to their customers.
Develop a freemium model. A freemium model is a pricing model where users have access to a basic tier of features for free and can pay for a premium tier of features with additional features and benefits. This can be a good way to attract users and generate revenue.
