The Problem
- A nursing home’s experience is not fully taken advantage of by contemporary technologies, leading to problems with:
- Stress
- Communication failure
- Refilling prescriptions
- BetterCare is a web based application that clients, patients, and caretakers use in order to effectively monitor the day-to-day events and to keep a close connection with the patient.
Technologies Used
- Google Cloud Vision API
- Google Cloud Translation API
- 8Base Development Platform
- Vue.js + Vuetify Design Framework
How Does BetterCare Simplify Healthcare?
- Negligence and inefficient practices are very commonplace in assisted care facilities
- Automatic prescription checker
- Clients, Patients, and caretakers will be able to accurately and efficiently keep track of their patients regardless of location or availability
- Live updates so clients and caregivers are aware of what is going on at all times
- “When were meals given? What was included?”
- “Patient took a walk at 5:55PM”
- Live video call of loved one/patient
- Users can get visual affirmation of patient’s health
- We intend to host web calls using our platform
- All relevant contact information and current caretaker would be on the front page
- Miscommunication and lack of reliability are combated by this inclusion
How Does BetterCare Help Multicultural Communities
- Used translate in order for patients to be able to communicate with caretakers and family
- Used computer vision
- Detects emotion and lets caretaker know for efficient assistance
- Uses movement of face and height in order to detect if the patient is in distress or awake at the wrong times
- What we plan to integrate
- Text-to-speech API to help caretakers and patients to communicate and to notify about potential problems
- Spotify API integration to match emotion for southing clients uniquely with algorithmically picked appropriate music
