# MediFamily

> MediFamily is a free, offline-first family health record management app for Indian families. It helps users store prescriptions, track medicines, manage emergency health information, and share records with doctors via QR codes — all without requiring an internet connection.

## What MediFamily Does

MediFamily is a Progressive Web Application (PWA) built specifically for the Indian healthcare context. Unlike competitors like Practo, 1mg, and Apollo 247, it focuses on family-level health record management with offline-first architecture.

**Primary use cases:**
- Storing and organizing prescriptions for the entire family (parents, spouse, children)
- Tracking medicines with reminders and adherence streaks
- Maintaining an emergency health card (blood group, allergies, chronic conditions, current medicines)
- Analyzing lab reports with AI explanations in simple language
- Sharing health records with doctors via secure QR codes (no doctor signup required)
- Scanning Hindi and English prescriptions (handwritten or printed) using AI
