🏥 Medisynix — AI-Powered Medical Assistant
Medisynix is an AI-powered medical assistance platform developed as a Final Year Project (FYP). The system is designed to help patients access healthcare-related information, interact with an AI medical assistant, manage their medical information, and access hospital-related guidance through a user-friendly web application.
The platform combines a modern web application architecture with an AI chatbot powered by Chatbase, with the chatbot specifically designed around information related to Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) and Al Shifa Hospital.
Note: Medisynix is an academic/software project intended to provide informational assistance. It does not replace professional medical diagnosis, treatment, or consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.

⚙️ Getting Started
1. Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/Atti-Ullah/AI-powered-medical-assistant-.git
2. Navigate to the Project
cd AI-powered-medical-assistant-
3. Install Dependencies
npm install
If the project requires legacy peer-dependency resolution:
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
4. Configure Environment Variables
Create a .env.local file in the root directory and configure the required environment variables.
Example:
MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string
DB_NAME=your_database_name
Never commit .env.local, database credentials, API keys, or other secrets to GitHub.
5. Start the Development Server
npm run dev
Open:
http://localhost:3000
🔒 Security & Privacy
Because Medisynix is a healthcare-related application, security and privacy are important considerations.
The project aims to:
- Protect authenticated user areas
- Secure database credentials through environment variables
- Avoid exposing sensitive configuration
- Restrict access to protected functionality
- Follow secure development practices
For production deployment, additional security, privacy, compliance, and clinical validation would be required.

Information provided by the application or chatbot is intended for general informational purposes only.
Users should:
- Consult qualified healthcare professionals for medical decisions.
- Contact appropriate medical services in emergencies.
- Not rely solely on AI-generated information for diagnosis or treatment.
