ICUlater

MediKaki, a medication companion for elderly patients in Singapore and their caregivers: when a dose is missed, it works out why before deciding what to say, and gives the doctor a one-page brief before each visit.

Patients with chronic conditions see their doctor for a few minutes and then manage on their own until the next visit, months later. Reminder apps treat every missed dose as forgetting, but people also skip a pill because it upsets their stomach, because they ran out, or because they decided to. MediKaki, our prototype, tries to tell these apart. When a dose is missed, it asks, sorts the reason into forgetting, side effects, access, a deliberate choice or confusion, and answers accordingly, alerting a caregiver when it should.

It is designed for WhatsApp, where older Singaporeans already talk to their families; for the hackathon it runs on Telegram with the same flow, with Gemini routing the conversation. Before each visit it writes a Clinic Card, a one-page brief for the doctor, so the clinic gets the picture without a new dashboard.

I built most of it, as part of Team ICU, for the AI Med Challenge in March 2026.

A Clinic Card for the demo’s made-up patient, Tan Ah Kow, 64, with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and two other conditions: two flags for the clinician (stomach side effects from Glucophage XR, LDL above target), an 82% adherence rate with a weekend gap, adherence bars for each drug, and four lab results.
The Clinic Card a doctor gets before a visit, for the demo’s made-up patient: what changed, why doses were missed, and what to discuss.
