Inspiration
We were originally thinking of creating a hack that has something to do with coronavirus, but then though why only limit to one virus in the medical world. One of the most important issues in the medical industry, when an individual is sick, is to monitor their vitals and to ensure they take the right dosage of medication which we often don't set a reminder and guess when to take it during the day. With all that in mind, we decided to create an app to help the medical community, especially the patients, to monitor their health and give timely reminders to take medication. As a fallback option, it also alerts family members when the patient's health deteriorates.
What it does
An all in one application that tracks your vitals, manages your medication, gives diagnosis and most importantly, notifies your emergency contact when vitals drop too low or you stop taking medicine.
How we built it
We decided to learn swift and use Xcode for the first time to build an IOS app. Lots of youtube and StackOverflow was used.
Challenges we ran into
Learning a new language and using an unfamiliar interface.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Learning a new language and the ability to create an IOS app which was exciting.
What we learned
How to use a new language and interface when primarily working in backend work and not a lot of front end/user interface work.
What's next for HealthTrak Virtual Health Assistant
Fully implement and develop all features to its fullest capacity especially vitals tracking technology as well as adding medical data stores for accuracy and safety.
