Apps for medical assistance can be quite important in the provision of emergency healthcare. Anyone may require the contact information for the closest hospital immediately following an incident due to the increase in traffic accidents. Because of this, we have suggested a location-based emergency medical aid system utilizing OpenStreetMap (OSM), where the medical facilities are mapped using their waypoints. Our suggested system consists of an android device with an application installed on it, the user, and a database serving as a central server of comprehensive information about healthcare facilities. During any emergency, a user of the application receives text information about the closest medical facilities from their present location. This mobile application improves the patient medical experience, the relationship between doctors and patients, and the doctor's self-price value and contains a huge commercial value. This app is also built with technology in mind with the potential to reduce efforts to healthcare costs and improve access to medical services and knowledge. We built a chat session in the app that engages patients in the conversation about their medical queries and problems to provide an individualized diagnosis based on their diagnosis and profile.
