    ## Inspiration
    Access to healthcare is one of the biggest problems facing our global society today. Many people talk about the wealth gap between the rich and the poor. Although we beleive this is an important issue, we think an even more pertinent issue is the "health gap". That is, the access to quality healthcare. What better way to give the impoverished better healthcare then to give them the same healthcare of the rich.

    ## What it does

    Our project is unique in that is has two interfaces, one for doctors, and one for the patients in third world countries. The part the doctors access is an ios application. This ios application contains a messaging interface in which doctors can view inquiries from a variety of patients, respond to them, and converse with patients.

    The second interface is a SMS-based interface for the people in third world countries. This interface allows users to communicate important information to their doctors, in their native language. First, we take their input, detect their language, run it through a translation engine, and give the output to the doctor. When the doctor replies in English, the input is run through a translation engine and appears in the sms users inbox, in their native tongue. All this happens seamlessly allowing for smooth frictionless between doctors and patients.
