Inspiration

Many hospitals worldwide are being stretched to maximum capacity. This has resulted in the over-use of vital resources and depletion of necessary inventory. Due to procurement channels unoptimized for a crisis, critical resource distribution is slow

What it does

With some hospitals hit harder than others, we want to optimize resource sharing between hospitals. By creating a web-based resource sharing platform, we aim to align hospitals on resource inventory and optimize usage.

Platform functionality:

Registration and profile page
Integrated inventory database, for easy addition of relevant COVID-19 resources
Visualize the relevant COVID-19 resource status for all hospitals, focusing on local clusters
Automate selection of hospitals that can be paired for resource sharing
Predict the upcoming requirements of different hospitals
Delivery services to create seamless hospital to hospital inventory sharing (recorded as a transaction)

Scalability:

B2B, low setup and maintenance costs,
Fully scalable from two hospitals to a cluster of hospitals, to multiple clusters
Following the corona-virus elimination, the platform can remain in use for hospitals in developing countries with scarce resources

How we built it

Our web application was built using the React JavaScript library, making it simple to create a simple and intuitive user interface. The application is logically split into two main parts: landing page and registration page. For handling the registration data we used the popular state container Redux, gathering our whole application state in a single global state tree. To store and fetch the data of our users, we used Google Firebase’s cloud Firestore, allowing us to both authenticate users, store and retrieve their data without relying on a Backend application. In addition, using the JavaScript library Leaflet, we integrated an interactive map into our landing page, allowing users to visualise hospitals across the UK.

What's next for COVWEB

Market surveying, interviews to generate user feedback
Incorporate prediction feature
Create web-domain
Generate partners with delivery companies
Create a secure transaction page

Rufus Mitchell-Heggs
I worked on the development of the web application, both frontend, backend and database integration. While I contributed to the flow of the entire application, my main focus was on implementing the registration form, and storing the user data.

Henrik Nerdrum
I worked on the design and user experience. I was the brand manager, coming up with the name and logo and also designing the user experience and journey through the website. I was also involved with developing the MVP and helped with the pitch.

Holly Withnell
I worked on backend, frontend and google firebase. Was mainly responsible for the landing page including map integration, filtering, graphs, navbar, footer, and styling.

Sindre Toft Nordal
I worked on simulating data from hospitals based on the hypotheses of an exponential increase in need of supply at different level for different areas and on uneven supply/capacity for those hospitals. I made graphs to represent this data and started working on optimizing the allocation of resources based on discrete optimal transport.
