What are we building

An AI based health quiz app, which can be built with just 4 fns. where the UI is all yours and on the backend side all it takes is just 4 functions i.e,

  • to start the quiz,
  • generate relevant questions,
  • submitting the quiz result
  • generating the likelihood of developing the disease

in this app we will be using @eka-care/eka-care-core from NPM and Next.js to make a clean health assessment app with the SDK.

​
final product

choosing the disease

answering questions

quiz result

​
Create a Next.js App

npx create-next-app@14.1.0 eka-carehealth-assessment
cd eka-carehealth-assessment

​
Install the Eka Care SDK

npm install @eka-care/eka-care-core

​
Understanding SDK Initialization

The SDK can be initialized on both FE and BE. But for this app we will be initializing the SDK on FE read more about initializing the SDK here

​
Setting Up Backend Auth.

If you decide to use this on a client side app, head to this repo and you will have a deployed running backend in 1 click, check the readme.md

​
Now Let’s Build a Clean Health Assessment UI

Time to create our main assessment component! and Leverage eka-care’s SDK

Replace pages/index.js with:

import createEkaInstance from "@eka-care/eka-care-core";

export default function HealthAssessment() {
  const [ekaInstance, setEkaInstance] = useState(null);
  const [assessment, setAssessment] = useState(null);
  const [results, setResults] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    initializeSDK();
  }, []);

  const initializeSDK = async () => {
    const authRes = await fetch(
      "https://the-deployed-vercel-backend/api/manage-auth",
      {
        method: "POST",
        headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
      }
    );

    const authData = await authRes.json();

    const ekaInstanceResult = createEkaInstance({
      source: "FE",
      auth_token: authData.data.access_token,
      backendAuthEndpointURL: `https://the-deployed-vercel-backend/api/manage-auth`, // this gets deployed in 1 click, please refer above
    });

    setEkaInstance(ekaInstanceResult);
  };

  const startAssessment = async () => {
    const assessmentResponse = await ekaInstance.assessment.initAssessment({
      client_id: "client_id_given_by_eka-care",
      user_info: {
        gender: "M",
        age: 25,
      },
      workflow_id: 814,
    });

    setAssessment(assessmentResponse);

    const startResponse = await ekaInstance.assessment.startAssessment({
      assessment_id: assessmentResponse.assessment_id,
      client_id: "client_id_given_by_eka-care",
    });

    if (startResponse.questions && startResponse.questions.length > 0) {
      const firstQuestion = startResponse.questions[0];

      await ekaInstance.assessment.continueAssessment({
        assessment_id: assessmentResponse.assessment_id,
        client_id: "client_id_given_by_eka-care",
        qid: firstQuestion.qid,
        user_response: "users response",
      });

      const finalResults = await ekaInstance.assessment.submitAssessment({
        assessment_id: assessmentResponse.assessment_id,
        client_id: "client_id_given_by_eka-care",
      });

      setResults(finalResults);
    }
  };

  return <div className="container mx-auto p-8">...</div>;
}

​
What We Just Built

Congratulations! You’ve just created a complete health assessment application using the Eka Care SDK. Where most LOC was just React and UI part while the whole logic of auth, refresh, starting, continuing and submitting got abstracted in just 4 fns that we called with a simple async await. Here’s what our app includes:

​
Key SDK Methods Demonstrated

  1. Initialize SDK - Create SDK instance with frontend configuration
  2. Init Assessment - Start a new health assessment workflow
  3. Start Assessment - Begin the assessment and get first questions
  4. Continue Assessment - Submit responses and get next questions
  5. Submit Assessment - Complete the assessment and get results

​
Next Steps

From here, you could extend this app by:

  • Integrating with the appointments module to book consultations
  • Adding medication search functionality
  • Building a patient management dashboard

The Eka Care SDK makes it incredibly easy to build comprehensive healthcare applications - this app just scratches the surface of what’s possible!
