Inspiration
Does this sound like you? You feel sick. You’ve been feeling sick. You decide to check in with the doctor and they ask, what are your symptoms? And, your mind goes completely blank. You feel fine now, so why not say that you’re fine right now? This lack of information and communication is the birthplace of so many patient safety issues - misdiagnoses, mistreatments, misunderstandings, etc.
To combat this, we’ve come up with our solution: Health Pack. Health Pack aims to empower people with information and educate them to make the best decisions for themselves. Users are able to keep track of symptoms that could be indicative of any sickness - Health Pack does the remembering for them!
Accomplishments
Coming into the hackathon with no idea of what to create, let alone thoughts towards health, we were able to come out more knowledgeable with how tech can be used to improve the healthcare system. It is nice knowing that doctors and hospitals are always available but what happens when a doctor or nurse just had a bad day or long shift? We can become patients at any time so becoming educated patients with what is going on with us and what could be done to us is important. This project is the stepping stone into some of our interests in healthcare. We came out with an enlightened viewpoint of how what we make can make a difference. Having no prior experience in healthcare, we were able to learn a lot from mentors to inspire us to look beyond.
