MedWise – AI-Powered Second Opinion System
The Challenge
​
An intelligent platform that provides patients with an AI-driven second opinion on prescriptions and reports. It analyzes uploaded medical data, summarizes key findings, and connects patients to the right doctor for expert validation.
​
Ensuring accurate interpretation of diverse medical documents, maintaining patient data privacy, and aligning doctor availability with system automation were key technical and operational hurdles.
Technology Used :​
​
-
Python (FastAPI / Flask): For backend API development and data processing.
-
Machine Learning Models: Transformer-based NLP for text interpretation and CNNs for medical imaging analysis.
-
Database: PostgreSQL / MongoDB for structured and unstructured data storage.
-
Cloud Infrastructure: AWS / GCP for scalable deployment and model hosting.
-
Data Security: End-to-end encryption and secure access control for patient data privacy.
-
Automation & Integration: APIs for doctor assignment, report delivery (email/SMS), and audit tracking.
Outcomes Achieved:
​
-
Reduced turnaround time for obtaining expert medical second opinions.
-
Improved accuracy and consistency in interpreting prescriptions and reports.
-
Enhanced patient trust and confidence through verified medical validation.
-
Created a structured, anonymized dataset to continuously refine ML models.
-
Enabled scalable doctor–patient connectivity across multiple specialties.
-
Strengthened healthcare data management with secure and traceable records.
Solution Implementation:
​
-
Patient uploads medical documents (prescription, reports, imaging) + health & medication history.
-
System preprocesses inputs: OCR for images/X-rays, NLP to parse text, standardize medical terms.
-
ML module generates a concise summary: diagnoses, medicine list, potential issues or conflicts.
-
Doctor matching engine finds suitable specialist based on availability, domain, and patient’s details.
-
Doctor reviews the ML-generated summary and inputs final remarks.
-
Final report delivered to patient via email / SMS; all data securely stored for auditing & future learning.
