Inspiration
Frustrated by long wait times at emergency rooms, we created an app that can automatically upload and deliver your health data to a local computer, secured with end-to-end encryption.
What it does
CruzCheck is a medical records and authentication system that allows you to upload your medical data and securely deliver it to a local hospital.
How we built it
There are three components to CruzCheck: -A mobile app that authenticates on a web server, uploads it to the server, and delivers a local decryption key -A web server that stores medical records, and delivers them to the client (hospital) when requested by the user on the app -A client app running on the emergency room's computer that receives encrypted data from the server, and a decryption key from the app
Challenges we ran into
We had a lot of trouble getting a web server up and running, and sending http requests to it. Just getting the building blocks in place to communicate between the android app and server took a huge amount of time and effort.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Having a fully functioning android app that correctly implements oauth2 with auth0
What we learned
That network configuration is a daunting task
What's next for CruzCheck
We think there's a solid idea here, and with some more work and less rushed development, this could be a technology that could genuinely help people.
