*The Real-World Problem:* Overburdened healthcare systems lead to long wait times for appointments and high costs, making people avoid consulting a doctor for minor but concerning issues like rashes, colds, or medication questions.
*Who Benefits & How:*
* *Patients:* Benefit from immediate, affordable access (e.g., \$2-5 per consult) to professional medical advice, saving time and money while gaining peace of mind.
* *Doctors:* Benefit by earning supplemental income flexibly in short, manageable time slots between appointments or from home.
* *Healthcare System:* Benefits from reduced strain as emergency rooms and clinics see fewer non-urgent cases.
*Why This Matters to Me:* I've experienced the frustration of needing quick medical reassurance for a minor issue, only to face a week-long wait for an appointment. This inefficiency causes unnecessary anxiety and sometimes allows minor problems to worsen.
*Technical Details (MVP):*
The MVP is a mobile app built with a cross-platform framework like *Flutter* for efficiency.
* The backend uses *Node.js* and *Firebase* for real-time features, user authentication, and to manage the matching system.
* The core feature is a lightweight *WebRTC* integration for secure, browser-based video calls, avoiding complex native code.
* The initial hypothesis to test is whether both patients and doctors will see value in these ultra-short, low-cost consultations.
