🚀 Project 36: AI-Powered Healthcare Appointment & Patient Portal (Expert Level)

An AI-Powered Healthcare Appointment & Patient Portal is a modern full-stack application that helps patients discover doctors, book appointments, manage medical documents, receive reminders, and communicate with healthcare providers.

The AI layer can assist with appointment discovery, document summarization, and administrative support without attempting to replace medical professionals.
