Inspiration

Over 5.2 Million medical errors take place in India annually. What if we could reduce few numbers from this data. Imagine where all your medical records are safe, accessible in any hospital of India and you don’t need to carry medical papers anywhere. No treatment is delayed due to lack of records. This would enhance the functioning of medical system in India to a greater extent.

What it does

First we have doctor login where doctor and patient have to login with OTP verification in order to give editing access to doctor and can view medical history. It stores medical records in the database so that they are accessible at any given time. Whereas patient can also login with patient login and view his/her medical records. This will help speeding the medical treatment and enhancing it’s effect.

How we built it

We used PostgreSQL for storing data, along with building backend server with node.js and express package which we used for passing queries to store and display medical information. We built our frontend (user interface) with react.js We used JWT authentication and OTP verification for securing data.

Challenges we ran into

Due to unavailability of Aadhar database we could not implement fingerprint biometrics as the machine we were using(Mantra MFS100) functions only on original Aadhar database and hence we decided to implement it in future with all the authenticated  information.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  1. Attaining increases security by authentication through OTP SMS sent on the mobile number linked to Aadhar number along with using good authentication practices
  2. Coming up with an idea that is of significant importance for the good of medical personnel and their patients and developing it.

What we learned

  1. Authorization Importance: Recognized the crucial balance between accessibility and data protection through robust authorization.
  2. Team Work: This hackathon has helped us as individuals to learn, understand and grow with team mates and accommodate their interests and opinions.
  3. Networking: Interacting with professionals, mentors, and fellow participants to build connections, seeking advice, and learning from others' experiences.
  4. OTP Generation Significance: Gained insights into the pivotal role of OTP generation in securing sensitive transactions.
  5. Problem-solving: Tackling real-world challenges within hours encourages critical thinking and problem-solving.

What's next for Centralized MRS

  1. Biometric Authentication Using Fingerprint Scanner.
  2. Using Cloud Database over traditional on-premises databases.
  3. Creating an uniform Organizational Network that encompasses multiple private hospitals.
  4. Laboratories connected directly to the server enabling data-driven research,
