MediCure — Smart Medicine Supply Chain

Google Solution Challenge 2026 | Solving medicine shortages in rural Indian PHCs using AI

---

The Problem

Over 25,000 Primary Health Centers (PHCs) in rural India face chronic medicine shortages. Stock management is done manually on paper registers, leading to:

• Medicines running out before reorders are placed
• Expiry wastage due to poor tracking
• No visibility into consumption patterns or seasonal demand spikes

The Solution

MediCure is an AI-powered supply chain management system that:

• Predicts stockouts before they happen using Google Gemini AI
• Automates reorder suggestions based on consumption trends and seasonal patterns
• Provides real-time visibility across multiple PHC locations
• Assists PHC staff via an AI chat assistant in simple language

---

Features

• Dashboard — Live stats, consumption trend charts, PHC network map, alerts
• Inventory Management — Full CRUD with Firebase Firestore persistence
• AI Predictions — Gemini 2.5 Flash analyzes stock and predicts stockouts with seasonal context
• Order Management — Create orders, track status with timeline view
• Reports — AI-generated narrative reports with charts
• Chat Assistant — Gemini-powered assistant for PHC staff queries
