Prototype a voice agent that finds and reserves hospital beds

Roshni Mishra built CareGraph AI for a hackathon, a voice agent that matches spoken symptoms to a hospital bed and specialist, then phones the hospital to reserve it.

Done with Custom agent

What they did

A developer built a voice agent for a hackathon after talking to a doctor friend near Varanasi. It turns a patient's speech into symptoms and searches a linked database for the right hospital, specialist and open bed. It flags allergies, phones the hospital through Twilio and marks the bed as reserved. It also schedules a follow-up call for the next day.

How it went

The author reports the hospital-and-bed search runs in about 14 milliseconds. She shares a live demo and the code. The example patient and hospital data appear to be samples.

Worth knowing

This is a hackathon prototype on sample data, not a tested medical tool. It should not be relied on for real emergencies.

Try it yourself

Help me build a demo voice assistant using made-up sample data only, not for real medical use. Create a small linked database of sample patients, symptoms, conditions, allergies, hospitals, doctors and beds. When I describe symptoms by text or voice, find the most suitable sample hospital with a free bed and the right specialist, and list any allergy warnings. Then draft the alert message you would send to the hospital desk. Show me the plan and the database design first and wait for my approval. Do not place any real phone calls or send messages without asking me.
