Inspiration
We were inspired by Mark Cuban as he has a pharmecutical company which greatly decreases the prices of medicines,
What it does
At first we were planning on scraping the web or using APIs in order to get info about the price of meds, however we were forced to pivot and now the website tells you information about Consumption method, Ingredients, and Ingredient Dosage
How we built it
We built it use bootstrap for the frontend, and sqlite3 and FDAapi.
Challenges we ran into
The Main Challenge we ran through is that all the APIs for our original plan were not working or were restricted so we had to pivot on a time crunch.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of the fact that the website even used an API and even ran in general, as everyone in our group has only used html and css 2x
What we learned
We learned a lot, especially about APIs and the Backend. We also learned more about the many softwares and imports which overall make your coding experience easier. Thirdly, we learned how to divide and conquer.
What's next for Drug Wizard
We plan on doing more hackathons
