LifeLineIQ is an AI-powered health triage platform that helps people quickly understand the urgency of their symptoms and decide what to do next. It asks smart follow-up questions, tracks symptom history, works even without internet, and guides users to the right level of care in minutes — especially in low-resource and rural settings.
# 🏥 GRASP Hackathon – AI-Assisted Rural Health Triage & Care Navigation
## 🌟 Overview
This project is a **full-stack prototype** that helps rural populations understand the urgency of their health symptoms and guides them to the right level of care.
The system converts user-reported symptoms into a **structured urgency assessment** with:
- Clear reasoning
- Actionable care guidance
- Nearby facility suggestions (prototype data)
It aims to reduce unnecessary hospital visits while ensuring critical cases are not delayed.

## 🚨 Problem Statement
Rural healthcare systems face two major challenges:
1. **Overcrowding** due to non-urgent cases.
2. **Delayed treatment** for serious conditions because patients don’t know when care is truly urgent.
People struggle to answer:
- *Is my condition serious?*
- *Where should I go?*
- *Is the nearest facility appropriate for my symptoms?*
