## The Problem
It is 11 PM in Bépanda, Douala, Cameroon.
A mother's 4-year-old son has a fever that won't break.
She needs a pharmacy — open right now, that accepts MTN Mobile Money, because she has no cash at home.
She has no app. No website. No information.
She starts calling neighbors. Walking in the dark.
**HealthNearby AI was built to end that walk.**

## What Makes This Different
Most AI projects **answer questions**.
**This system acts.**
Using Notion MCP, the AI agent can:
- 🔍 **Query** — find facilities by city, type, payment method, real-time open status
- 🔄 **Update** — change facility status live in Notion, auto-adjust reliability score
- ➕ **Create** — add new facilities to the database instantly
Every single action goes through **Notion MCP** at runtime.
Remove MCP — the system stops working. It is not decorative.

## Why This Project Stands Out
- 🌍 **Real-world impact** — solves an urgent healthcare access problem in Cameroon, where 92.1% of people navigate the healthcare system entirely on their own
- ⚙️ **True MCP integration** — not just reading data, but executing real actions (query, update, create) via `@notionhq/notion-mcp-server`
- 🧠**AI as a decision system** — recommends the best option based on real-time reliability + availability + payment method
- 🔄 **Live system, not a static demo** — every action updates Notion in real-time, auto-syncs every 30 minutes
- 🗺️ **Complete product experience** — interactive map, facility inspector, MCP timeline, AI decision panel, emergency mode
- 🚀 **Built under real constraints** — designed for low-connectiv …
