Inspiration
HealthCord is online Personal Health Record web application that you can use to maintain, manage and keep track of information from your medical history, doctor visits, tests, ailments and procedures. You can also document your life outside the doctor's office and your health priorities, such as tracking your food intake, exercise, and blood pressure. Analyse and provides you with the summary of your health.
What it does
One can consult dieticians, fitness trainers to plan your diet and workout routine. It also has a patient portal that allows users to access online appointment scheduling, and bill pay.
How we built it
Challenges we ran into
I took a lot of time configuring and refactoring the project HealthCord. Moreover, I was also looking at the security side, which is a very important thing to be kept in mind for these types of projects. Also, it was a bit difficult for us to collaborate in a virtual setting but we somehow managed to finish the project on time.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I explored so many things within 48 hours. It was a tad difficult for us to collaborate in a virtual setting but I'm proud of finishing the project on time which seemed like a tough task initially but happily were also able to add most of the concepts that I envisioned for the app during ideation. Lastly, I think the impact our project could have is a significant accomplishment. Especially, trailing the current scenario of COVID19, this could really be a product that people find useful!
This project was especially an achievement for us because this time the experience was very different than what I have while building typical hackathon projects, which also includes heavy brainstorming, extensive research, and yes, hitting the final pin on the board.
What I learned
A lot of things, both summed up in technical & non-technical sides. Also not to mention, I enhanced our googling and Stackoverflow searching skill during the hackathon :)
What's next for HealthCord
As previously mentioned, HealthCord is one of the most technically sound projects we have made till now, and I would love to keep it open-sourced indefinitely so that anyone can contribute to the project since we are aiming to expand the wings of our project beyond the hackathon. Apart from fine-tuning the project, I am also planning to integrate new user-intuitive features such as refined User/Patient access, easy checkout option for hospitals, adding more such IoT-based inter-device support for maximizing our audience interaction. Apart from these, a lot of code needs to be refactored which does include CSS improvements for desktop preview as I couldn't hit so much under limited time. Overall, I hope that one day this project can be widely used among the medical community to redefine the existing & remove the backlogs.
