  Another Plasma Donor Notifying Message

Inspiration

Plasma is critical for COVID-19 patients, but finding appropriate match is not that easy, but when connectivity is there, it's not difficult anymore, we want to take the concept of connectivity and social media to the next stage so that the planet gets benefited in this difficult time.

What it does

Covinger is a chatbot for sharing and notifying plasma donors and recipients with each other's information and contact so that they can find their matching donor(s)/recipient(s) easily. First we take information from an individual , we validate his/her information (if he/she is capable of donating/receiving or not) and provide him/her with the image,name, details, address and contact of his/her potential donor(s)/recipient(s), and if he/she wants to directly inform any of the matches, he/she just needs to click on the INFORM button and that person will immediately get message from Covinger having the details of the informer.

How we built it

=> For webhook endpoint. => We used nodeJS+bootbot. => For storing data, we used postGreSql and the whole system is hosted on AWS elastic beanstalk for high scalability and availability.

Challenges we ran into

=> Validating information. => Setting up the conversation flow in both organic but informative way.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

=> This app is being used by our class-mates. => This initiation is quite appreciated and regarded as appropriate (considering current situation) by the users.

What we learned

=> Validating data for medical requirements. => Setting the backend in such way so that it ensures almost 100% availability and very high scalability

What's next for Covinger

=> Taking the app live and serve the humanity.
