Inspiration

KEEP PATIENTS AND MEDICAL STAFF SAFE, ASSESS PT without risk. Family to communicate with isolated patient. Significantly reduce PPE use.

What it does

Reduces the need of PPEs by >70% for hospital staff

Immediately connect patient with physician/nurse at any time

Allows doctors/nurses to clinically assess them safely and all the time if needed.

Reduce non-covid patients exposure to possible contagious medical staff

Reduce medical staff exposure to covid patients

Connect family with patient as no visitors are allowed in any hospital internationally.

How I built it

It's ALREADY BUILT - IT CAN BE USED AS IS, OR SMALL software upgrade for hospitals.

such as: 1) Allow us to not need to create random facebook accounts for each patient room number. Ideally Portal 1 can be "Bed 205a" portal 2 "Bed 205b" and so forth.

2) Increased security/encryption to be HIPAA compliant (though USA/Canada have waived this requirement and suggest to doctors to use Skype / Facetime etc if it helps)

3) Unlink it for anyone on facebook to search for a patient room and rather have hospital staff add the portal contact / link it to their devices and family's devices

4) Cover for the portal to be easily able to disinfect with hospital products

5) Three ' Hey Portal ' voice commands need to be in french and spanish as well "Hey portal, call X" "Hey Portal, Pick up call" "Hey portal Hang up call" - which would make this device useable without needing to touch it (which is needed).

6) Cover that protects Portal device if fallen onto tile hospital floor

Challenges I ran into

Facebook's reputation of encryption and data security. It's a VERY hard sell to hospital and IT department even if there is 'encryption'

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Using Portal at bedside instead of exposing patients and staff to life-threatening risks

What I learned

This can have a HUGE impact if they can be distributed nationwide to all hospitals ASAP.

What's next for FACEBOOK PORTAL IN ALL PATIENT HOSPITAL ROOMS NOW!

Facebook to get these into hospitals ASAP, THEN: create a software update creating a "hospital selection"
