MedTrack

Inspiration

Medical ailments can last for weeks, months, and even years. Remembering your drug prescriptions throughout your treatment can be a tough and tedious task, one which you cannot risk making mistakes in. That's where we came up with MedTrack, a smart way to keep track of your medicines, so that you don't have to.

What it does

MedTrack helps you keep track of your drug prescriptions and reminds you to take them on time. Your doctor can upload your prescriptions, or you can do it yourself as well very easily, MedTrack will also inform you about going for regular health check-ups as and when necessary. If there are some drugs which have conflicting effects, MedTrack will alert you about them.

How we built it

We used React.js, Tailwind CSS, React-Router and Email API to create the front-end. For the back-end, we used MongoDB, ExpressJS, and NodeJS

Challenges we ran into

Both of our Tech Leads were experienced only with front-end, and had very little experience with MongoDB, and ExpressJS. Hence, we created the back-end by reading documentations and found it hard to integrate with the front-end within the time frame.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully created the front-end app, successfully integrated Auth0 API for login and user data storage. We also successfully added push notifications for medicine reminders.

What we learned

Since we had little experience with back-end, we had to learn as much as we could in a concise manner so as to make our project work. The experience in MongoDB and ExpressJS we gained was very valuable.

What's next for MedTrack

The first step is making MedTrack into a PWA. Then we want to integrate WhatsApp API in order to send notification via WhatsApp. In the future we want to add multi-language support in order to reach a wider audience.
