## Devpost submission (written by the team)

### Inspiration

Between our team, we have five family members who are ER doctors. We've heard the same frustrations over and over: discharge takes too long, intake is a bottleneck, and there's no good way to see what's happening across the department at a glance. Data from multiple NIH studies inspired our approach; they highlighted how discharge is often delayed by fragmented coordination rather than clinical need, noting that a dedicated coordinator can cut hospital stays by half a day to a full day. Seeing these delays framed as "operational failures" rather than medical ones validated our mission to build a centralized, real-time "traffic controller" for patient flow that makes intelligent predictions and pre-fills manual paperwork. We conducted 10+ interviews with practicing doctors to further validate these pain points and shape our approach through multiple iterations.

### What it does

DocBox is an AI-powered ER management system that optimizes patient intake and discharge flow. Voice-Powered Intake: An AI triage nurse that conducts real-time phone interviews with patients to collect symptoms and medical metadata before they enter the ER. The agent converts speech into structured data and assigns an ESI severity score (1–5), giving ER staff a clinical head start and reducing onsite wait times. AI Discharge Agent: Continuously monitors patients in hospital beds to determine if it should notify a doctor that a patient is "ready to discharge" (ready to leave the hospital). Doctor Inbox: A streamlined clinical inbox where doctors approve or reject patients ready to go home. Approvals automatically generate plain-language summaries, medical notes, and excuse forms that can be reviewed and edited directly within the app. Rejections prompt the AI to order follow-up tests and re-evaluate the case. The inbox also acts as a real-time notification hub, alerting staff to surprising test results or patients who have spent too much time in the waiting room, so no one falls through the cracks.** Observability: A centralized dashboard that provides a macro-view of the hospital, with patients running through the system and our Agents admitting patients and flagging patients for discharge.

### How we built it

The frontend is Next.js with Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui components, and Framer Motion for the animated patient transitions. The backend runs on Python FastAPI, connected to a Supabase Postgres database. We use Vapi for the voice agent that handles phone-based triage, and GPT-4o powers transcript extraction, discharge reasoning, and all paperwork generation. The backend broadcasts patient state changes over WebSockets so the board updates instantly without polling. The whole system was shaped by 10+ doctor interviews — each round of feedback led to a new MVP and tighter iteration on what actually matters in an ER workflow.

### Challenges we ran into

The hardest part was understanding the problem space deeply enough to build something responsible. These are systems where lives are at stake, so we had to be deliberate about where AI makes decisions vs. where it supports human judgment. Balancing automation with doctor and nurse control was a constant tension — too much automation feels unsafe, too little defeats the purpose. We also had to figure out how to innovate on top of deeply entrenched legacy systems that hospitals have used for decades. After 10+ doctor interviews and many MVPs, the final challenge was figuring out how to demonstrate our capabilities in a live demo that actually conveys the impact. Another hard problem was creating a way to effectively demo our system. We accomplished this by creating a hospital layout and streaming in fake patient data to show the system in action.

### Accomplishments we're proud of

We're proud that we're solving a real problem that directly helps patients get home sooner and reduces stress on healthcare workers who are already stretched thin. Our live demo is something we're especially excited about: you can call a real phone number, speak to the AI triage nurse, and watch yourself appear on the hospital board in real time. That voice-to-board pipeline, where a real caller shows up as a yellow dot flowing through the system alongside simulated patients, makes the impact tangible in a way that slides never could.

### What we learned

Healthcare is incredibly complex, and even a "simple" ER workflow has dozens of edge cases, regulatory considerations, and human factors we didn't initially anticipate. We learned how critical it is to balance AI automation with human oversight, especially in high-stakes environments. Building a real-time system with WebSockets, voice AI, and LLM-powered reasoning all working together taught us a lot about system design under pressure. And perhaps most importantly, we learned that talking to actual users (doctors, in our case) early and often is the single best way to build something that matters.

### What's next

We want to pilot DocBox in a real hospital setting to validate our approach with actual clinical workflows. On the technical side, we plan to build out a fully persistent backend and expand the AI capabilities to features like voice commands for ordering labs or surgeries. Long-term, we see an opportunity to expand beyond the ER into other paperwork-heavy medical processes where AI can save clinicians time and get patients the care they need faster.

# DocBox

**Real-time ER management system that optimizes patient intake and discharge flow using AI.**

Built at TreeHacks 2026 by Jonas Pao, Connor Lee, Kevin Zhu, and Jacob Goldberg.

## Inspiration

Emergency departments lose hours to inefficient patient tracking, slow discharge decisions, and manual paperwork. We built DocBox to show what an AI-augmented ER command center could look like — where clinicians stay in control, but AI handles the busywork.

## What It Does

DocBox is a live simulation of an emergency department with three views:

- **Operations Board** — A kanban-style dashboard showing every patient as a color-coded dot flowing through the ER pipeline: `called_in → waiting_room → er_bed → discharge → done`. Includes a 4x4 bed grid, real-time metrics (revenue, avg stay, bed utilization), and an event log.

- **Nurse Inbox** — Triage interface for incoming patients. Nurses review chief complaints, edit ESI scores, and accept patients into the waiting room.

- **Doctor Inbox** — Notification feed for patients flagged for discharge (green) or with surprising lab results (red). Doctors can:
  - **Approve discharge** — review and edit auto-generated paperwork (SOAP note, AVS, work/school form), then release the patient.
  - **Reject & Note** — write a rejection note explaining why the patient isn't ready. GPT-4o analyzes the note and returns a re-evaluation delay + any additional labs to order.

### Patient Colors

| Color | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| Grey | Default simulated patient |
| Yellow | Real caller (via Vapi voice agent) |
| Green | Ready for discharge |
| Red | Surprising lab result — needs attention |

## How We Built It

| Layer | Stack |
|-------|-------|
| Frontend | Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, Framer Motion, shadcn/ui |
| AI | OpenAI GPT-4o (discharge rejection analysis, clinical decision support) |
| Voice | Vapi (phone-based triage nurse agent) |
| Simulation | Client-side tick engine with three modes (Manual, Semi-Auto, Full-Auto) |

### Simulation Engine

The app runs a tick-based simulation (1.5s per tick, adjustable 0.5x–5x speed) that drives patient flow:

- **Semi-auto**: Patients automatically progress through the pipeline; discharge requires doctor approval.
- **Full-auto**: Everything is automated, including discharge and OR/ICU resolution.
- **Manual**: All transitions require explicit user action.

Each tick, the engine checks for arriving lab results, manages discharge timers, and occasionally injects new patients.

### AI-Powered Discharge Rejection

When a doctor rejects a discharge, the rejection note and full patient context are sent to GPT-4o via a Next.js API route (`/api/reject`). The model returns:

1. **Time to discharge** — how many ticks before re-evaluating (based on clinical severity)
2. **Additional labs** — any tests the patient should take, with expected arrival times and whether the result might be surprising

These outputs feed directly back into the simulation: the patient's discharge timer resets to the LLM-specified delay, and new labs appear on schedule — potentially turning the patient red if results are unexpected.

## Challenges

- Designing a simulation that feels realistic in a 2-3 minute demo window
- Making the LLM output structured, clinically reasonable decisions that integrate smoothly with the tick system
- Balancing automation levels — too much feels fake, too little is boring to watch

## What We Learned

- How ESI triage scoring works in real emergency departments
- Prompt engineering for structured medical JSON output from GPT-4o
- Building real-time animated UIs with Framer Motion and React state

```

- **No separate backend server** — simulation runs client-side in `PatientContext.tsx`.
- **No database** — patient state lives in React state (shared across pages via context). Mock data loaded from `patients.json`.
- **Vapi integration** — API route polls Vapi for completed calls every 3 seconds, extracts structured patient data from transcripts via GPT-4o, queues patients for the frontend to pick up.
- **Discharge paperwork** — generated client-side in `doctor/page.tsx` using template matching on chief complaint keywords. No LLM call for paperwork generation.
- **Rejection flow** — calls `/api/reject` which uses GPT-4o to determine additional wait time and labs.

Summary of project (DocBox):

Docbox is an ER management system that optimizes the intake and discharge of patients. This product needs to be demo’ed for a hackathon, so the system will manage a few real people calling in, but also stream through “fake” patients to simulate a live scenario for demo purposes. Here are the key elements of the product:

Intake:
Patients should be able to call in via a mobile app. This app should act as a triage nurse — the triage nurse should be an AI model. The goal of the model should be to fill out the following:

Create Triage Notes: Before a doctor even calls you back to a room, they can open your digital chart and read the exact notes the triage nurse wrote. They will see your vital signs, your medical history, and the narrative the nurse typed out about why you are there.

Create an ESI score: Level 1 (Resuscitation), Level 2 (Emergency), Level 3 (Urgent), Level 4 (Semi-urgent), Level 5 (Non-urgent). The agent should route to 9/11 if it flags someone at level 1 or level 2. Once finished, the agent should update a database with a patient and their summary (keep to under 4 sentences, 2 sentences is best).

The intake system is also responsible for creating “real” data through the system.

Summary: 
In: take in patient calls (only one person will call in at a point of time). 
Out: update the database with {unique patient ID, patient notes, ESI score} and send to the backend the PID.

Outtake:
An AI Agent should flag anyone in an “ER bed” who is ready to discharge. The agent should decide to discharge a patient based on the patient’s data over time, open-source emergency room data, and basic medical guidelines. How this works is that the agent should maintain a database with the field {Patient ID, time_to_discharge}. When a change happens (patient is moved from the waiting room to the ER), the agent should compute a time_to_discharge. It should also read the patient’s data to figure out when a test result will be coming in. Since we are simulating the data, we will have, in the patient database, lab results with a global time that they arrive. Do not flag a patient until that test comes back. 

We should have the backend scan through the agent’s time_to_discharge fields and if the global timer is greater than the time_to_discharge, the agent should send a notification to the doctor’s mobile app.
The mobile app notification should show the patient's name and a summary of why the system believes they are ready to discharge the patient. If the doctor disagrees with discharge, then you should have a button that has the doctor talk briefly to a chat agent that figures out what the doctor is waiting for, and log that back into a database, only flagging the doctor again after that condition is met.

If the doctor agrees with the discharge, it should allow the doctor to open the notification and see a scroll-and-click of all discharge paperwork. The paperwork that it should fill out isthe ED clinical note that follows th
