Inspiration
No one with immediate health concerns should be withheld from getting the care they need from mere paperwork.
What it does
A simple QR code that allows the users to access information such as medical history, medical consent forms, etc., to be easily accessed by the hospital to streamline ER check ins.
How we built it
Using technologies such as React-Native, Firebase, Xcode, and many dependencies, we were able to create an app. Using JavaScript we styled our user interface and kept it simple to not deter any who aren't as tech savvy.
Challenges we ran into
Given that this was our first time building an app. Learning all the languages, APIs, backend, and front-end work that awaited us was a challenge to say the least. In addition to this, it was also our first time working with each other. We combated this by playing to our strengths and helping each other out every step of the way. We often found ourselves importing things without realizing everyone else needed to install dependencies. We ran into this problem many times before we finally started documenting the dependencies needed. This made the workflow much smoother.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of our first-ever app. We've learned much throughout this process and will use it going forward. We are proud of the amount of work we've put into this in the very little time given to us.
What we learned
We learned many new technologies. However, probably the most important would be the need for good documentation as this disrupted much of our work flow a lot of the time.
What's next for ER QuickPass
Improve security to align with legal policies and things like HIPPA. Add more to what possible information a hospital could need. Possibly make a "standard" form(s) the allow integration with any hospital system which would optimize wait times even further.
