Clinical Research Journal

A journaling app for participants of clinical trials. Keeps track of thoughts and feelings, a list of providers, and a schedule.

Inspiration

The clinical trial industry has been slow to adapt to the new technologies available. We sought to create a new innovative way for trial participants to communicate their thoughts and feelings about the drugs or devices they are trial.

What it does

Creates a platform for trial participants to view a medicine schedule, the contacts for individuals involved in their trial, and a place to write their thoughts and how they are feeling.

How we built it

  • We built the frontend in Vite + React with React router to handle page changes
  • The backend is built in Python with flask which interacts with a Postgressql database
  • The service is hosted via an AWS ec2 instance

Challenges we ran into

  • Difficulties with CORs requests not going though
  • Issues with AWS not allowing our EC2 instances through to the internet

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Journal entries are placed into a postgressql database

What we learned

  • Better strategies for building interactive apps with React and Flask

What's next for Clinical Research Journal

  • We'd like to add a user management system and a way for users to video chat with providers
