Project Overview

  • The main idea of this project is to allow users to order medicines online from nearby shops.
  • The medicine is ordered from the shop which is nearest to the user (or whichever store the user chooses).
  • It not only allows users to get the desired medicine delivered home but also provides the details of the shop from which the medicine is ordered.
  • We used a Google JavaScript API which helps us locate the shops using the address provided during registration.
  • We also added a file upload support which converts image to text (OCR) through which searching medicines is easier for the user.
  • In addition, we included a chatbot for user queries and engaging them in small talk.
