Inspiration
The Covid has added significant burden to the medical system, in that it is extremely hard for certain group of people to gain access to the healthcare services. Meanwhile, the drones and UAVs used by military are very fast and can operate for a long time without refueling, which serves as a decent platform for drug delivery via airdrop
What it does
The user can use a mobile device to scan the drug label as well as pressing SOS button to request a drug delivery via airdrop, and the ground operator can control the UAV's flight path via mouse clicks
How I built it
I prototyped both mobile and PC user interface as well as figured out their logics. As it becomes more and more complicated, I adopted some key ideas in OOP
Challenges I ran into
The integration of Firebase realtime database with Swift is challenging. Also, switching between two systems (win10 and macOS) frequently is more challenging than I have ever imagined.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Finally I am able to finish the prototype on both mobile and PC ends, as well as the cloud database
What I learned
Persevere, and plan ahead
What's next for EMDS (Emergency-Medicare-Delivery-System)
Deep reinforcement learning algorithms could be used for better flight planning on the ground side, for better coverage over the entire country.
