What Heart Shield Does

Key Functions of the App

Modular Based Course Creation

  • Allows therapists and caretakers to pool training and resources.
  • By uploading an exercise, the caretaker makes said plan available to all other modules.
  • Facilitates the creation of new plans by selecting from a pool of previously loaded exercises/activities.

Patient Links and SMS Notifications

  • Each patient gets texted their individual rehab plan and educational resources to increase patient engagement and rehab participation.
  • Each patient's plan is viewable from a unique link sent in the text.

API and Hospital Dashboard

  • The implementation of an API with multiple endpoints facilitates seamless integrations and data analysis across multiple platforms.
  • Allows for hospital administrations to view data across all therapists and patients

AssemblyAI Generated Transcripts for Checkup Meetings

  • Using AssemblyAI, therapists can record meeting audio and upload to HeartShield to get a transcript of the audio.
  • Transcript accounts for multiple speakers and separates dialogue between speakers

What We Learned

We refined and reinforced our knowledge of user-interface libraries (React), frameworks (Django), and REST APIs. The most educationally rewarding tasks proved to be connecting the Django framework back-end to the React UI front-end and learning/implementing the AssemblyAI Speech-to-Text API for transcribing patient checkups.

What's Next for HeartShield

Redefining not only the patient but also the therapist/hospital administration cardiac rehabilitation experience, we intend to launch a two front campaign for circulating information and raising awareness.

  • We will market to hospital administrations and promote the intrinsic benefits that Heart Shield offers in the realm of convenience and accessibility
  • We will launch a campaign to spread awareness to most at-risk populations (such as the elderly) of the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation in the case of a medical emergency. It will be crucial that we network with Assisted Living Communities and Media Companies most consumed by this demographic.

As for the Heart Shield App itself, we hope to continue elevating the user experience through rolling out UI updates, whilst adding further functionality to make the experience all the more helpful and interconnected
