Ghana's real-time emergency hospital capacity intelligence platform.
NoBed.ai tackles Ghana's No Bed Syndrome — preventable deaths caused when critically ill patients are driven from hospital to hospital because no one knows where a free bed is. It gives hospitals, ambulance teams, health administrators and the public a live, colour-coded view of bed capacity, referral options and emergency care availability across the country — on the web and over SMS for low-connectivity users.
This repository is a runnable MVP demo. It runs locally with no paid accounts
(PostgreSQL via Docker, OpenStreetMap tiles, mock auth, SMS simulator) and deploys to
Vercel + Neon (see docs/DEPLOYMENT.md). The parts
that need real infrastructure in production (live SMS providers, managed auth with MFA,
PostGIS, Redis, WebSockets) are documented in docs/ with a clear migration path.
# one-time: local Postgres (Docker)
docker run -d --name nobed-pg -p 5433:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=nobed \
-e POSTGRES_DB=nobed -v nobed-pg-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data postgres:16-alpine
npm install
npm run setup # prisma generate + db push + seed (17 GH hospitals, 9 demo users)
npm run dev # http://localhost:3000That's it. Open http://localhost:3000. (Thereafter: docker start nobed-pg before dev.)
Requires Node 18+ and Docker (for Postgres). No API keys needed.
