Innovative web-solution to problems in medication management. Elderly populations often forget the medications they take, and our solution aims to keep them healthy while keeping providers informed.
Inspiration: As a premedical student, I have seen many patients during my time volunteering and shadowing. I especially felt for elderly patients that I witnessed forget the names of their medications and return with worse symptoms than before due to negative medication interactions.
What it does: Our website is a platform that centralizes communication between doctors, patients, and pharmacists in an easy-to-use format. Doctors can prescribe medications, pharmacists can fill the medication and the patient can receive updates and ask questions as needed.
How we built it: We used Heroku, PHP, and MySQL in order to deploy our web portal and database.
Challenges we ran into: Initial idea was beyond the scope of our knowledge. Ended up having to pivot and split teams.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: We learned a lot during the course of this project as somewhat inexperienced hackers. We have gained confidence in the use of Heroku, MySQL, and PHP.
What we learned: MySQL, PHP, and HTML
What's next for ConnectMedical: We hope to possibly pursue this idea to completion.
