Inspiration
With those working professionally in the medical industry being busy as ever, we wanted a way to free time where possible. This allows a circumstance where time can be allocated to provide adequate patient care.
What it does
Our concept scans an NFC enabled card storing patient information, verifies identity through pin, and accurately dispenses appropriate prescription and dosage as prescribed by the medical professional.
How we built it
This concept was constructed using SQL for patient database, JS for communication between the DB and the client, NFC card for storing patient information, and finally C++ for a 3DS; for NFC demonstration, reading, and writing.
Challenges we ran into
One of the problems that we spent the most time on was figuring out how we were going to read and write onto our NFC card. This posed to be a large obstacle considering it determined what language we would need to end up using the concept.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our user friendly interface allowing a large audience to efficiently access their prescribed medications.
What we learned
Learned a lot about communication between devices and NFC's.
What's next for Drug Dropper
We hope to scale the idea to be more secure through ideas such as stronger encryption. Potentially hoping to see this idea used in hospitals, pharmacies, and drug stores.
