MAA (My Alerting Ally) is a smart MedTech system that connects hospitals and patients through real-time medicine alerts, reminders, and tracking — ensuring no dose is ever missed.
MAA – My Alerting Ally
“MAA hai na”
Overview:
MAA is a B2B MedTech platform that ensures patients take their prescribed medications on time through real-time alerts, hospital integration, and caretaker support. It streamlines post-hospital care and chronic treatment by connecting doctors, pharmacists, patients, and caretakers in one ecosystem.
Key Features:
Doctor Web App: Assigns prescriptions with dosage, frequency, and duration
Pharmacist Portal: Manages global medicine database
Patient Mobile App: Receives alerts, logs doses, links caretakers
Caretaker Notifications: Acts as backup when doses are missed
Smart Scheduling: Uses Firebase Cloud Messaging for timely alerts
Secure Backend: JWT-based auth, PostgreSQL (NeonDB), Prisma ORM
Tech Stack:
Next.js (Web), Kotlin (Mobile), Node.js (Backend), Firebase (Notifications), PostgreSQL
Vision:
To improve medication adherence, reduce health risks, and empower care teams with intelligent, timely, and scalable solutions.
During the hackathon, we developed the MVP of MAA – My Alerting Ally, focusing on both the hospital web app and the patient mobile app. The hospital-side system, built with React and Node.js, includes core functionalities such as role-based login, patient registration, medicine management by pharmacists, and prescription assignment by doctors with dosage, frequency, and duration. On the patient side, the Kotlin-based Android app features real-time medication alerts using Firebase Cloud Messaging, smart handling of missed doses, and a caretaker system that ensures continued support. The frontend has been successfully hosted on AWS, and major modules have been implemented and tested. Future plans include integrating Qdrant and retrieval-augmented generation to enable intelligent querying and personalization.
