HAMS - Healthcare Asset Management System

Inspiration

• Amazon for Medical/Healthcare Equipments
• Streamlining the process of equipment sourcing with as little hassle as possible

What it does

• HAMS is a platform where one can manage their inventory as well as buy/sell equipments at the marketplace.

How we built it

• We first thought of the various table schemas that would be involved
• Then we plotted the process flow, i.e. how the user will navigate through the website and we noted the steps
• Based on those, we came up with a frontend and started developing
• Initial tests were performed by entering data through Django's default admin portal
• Then we tested the data creation and updating with the frontend that we developed

Challenges we ran into

• Unknown bugs due to lack of experience in Django

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Creating a functional web app that executes as expected
• Accomplishing to create an MVP when we were on the verge of giving up

What we learned

• Django ORM is very overpowered
• Planning ahead goes a long way
• Take it one feature at a time
• ChatGPT FTW!!

What's next for HAMS - Healthcare Asset Management System

• Optimizing the code to make it faster and more secure
• Using a frontend framework to make the user experience smooth
• Develop approval mechanisms for the suppliers
• Adding event logging to analyse the anomalies that occur in real life
