+## About the Project
+
+PatSafe is a web-based application that connects discharged patients with their doctors for post-discharge care. It features a doctor’s dashboard where they can update patient information, provide medication instructions, and track patient progress. Patients can report their symptoms, recovery status, and medication adherence, which is then updated in real time for their doctor to review. Additionally, PatSafe includes an AI-powered chatbot that allows patients to ask medical questions and report symptoms, helping doctors get insights into the patient’s condition remotely. The chatbot also aids in tracking medication adherence and offering information for diagnoses and prescriptions.
+
+### How does it work?
+
+PatSafe was built using **Next.js** and **React.js** for the frontend, while the backend is powered by **MongoDB** and **Clerk** for authentication. The platform utilizes APIs for real-time updates and features such as medication tracking and symptom reporting. We integrated a chatbot powered by **Hugging Face models** for natural language processing, allowing users to interact conversationally and gather helpful medical information.
