15-Year-Old SEE Graduate Develops AI Health Platform Offering Medical, Hospital and Emergency Contact Data

Kathmandu. A 15-year-old student from Kapan, Kathmandu, has developed an AI-based platform that provides health-related information and basic medical guidance while making productive use of his time after the Secondary Education Examination (SEE).

Pranjal Regmi has created a platform called “Doctor AI,” which offers responses to general health queries, information on medicines, estimated costs, hospital details, and emergency contacts.

The SEE graduate, who has an interest in technology, said he built the platform at home over nearly two weeks of focused development. He added that his experience with “Vibe coding” over the past year helped him complete the project efficiently.

“It has been almost a year since I started learning Vibe coding. Doctor AI took around 20 days to create,” Regmi said.

How ‘Doctor AI’ Was Developed

Regmi used the AI development platform Replit to build the system, relying on what is commonly referred to as “vibe coding,” where applications are generated with AI-assisted prompts rather than traditional manual coding.

“Now, instead of writing every line of code, you can describe what you want, and the AI builds it. But the idea and structure still need to come from the developer,” he said.

Features of the Platform

The platform, accessible via AI Health Assistant & Symptom Checker for Nepal | Doctor AI Nepal, includes multiple sections designed to support users seeking Nepal-specific health information.

In the “Consultation” section, users can ask health questions in English or Nepali through voice or text input. The AI follows up with basic questions such as age and symptoms before providing possible health conditions, general advice, and estimated information about medicines and their availability.

The “Hospitals” section lists contact details of hospitals across major cities, including Kathmandu and Lalitpur, along with available services and check-up facilities.

Meanwhile, the “Emergency” section provides essential contact numbers for ambulances, fire services, Nepal Police, and traffic police.

According to Regmi, the system initially provided information on common medicines such as paracetamol, but has since expanded to include details and price estimates for other medicines available in Nepal.

He said the platform was designed to be more locally relevant than general AI tools. “Even ChatGPT can give answers, but this is designed specifically for Nepal’s context, including local medicines and hospital information,” he said.

Inspiration and Development Process

Regmi said the idea came to him after watching a podcast discussing AI applications in everyday life. He then began developing the platform using Replit, which required a $20 subscription for database and security features during development.

He added that he also used AI tools to gather information about medicines and their availability in Nepal’s market.

Following his SEE results, Regmi plans to study Computer Engineering in higher secondary school and continue improving the platform alongside his studies.

He said basic programming knowledge remains important despite the rise of AI-assisted coding. “Vibe coding is useful for front-end development, but understanding backend systems is still necessary to build reliable software,” he said.

Regmi also cautioned users not to rely on the platform as a replacement for professional medical advice, stating that Doctor AI is intended only for general guidance and informational purposes.
