HelloDoc - by AIOverflow

Say no to handwritten doctor's prescriptions.

Comment

Inspiration:

One of our closest friends has a very bad health issue so she visits the hospital very often for medication and medical treatment. One day as usual she visited the hospital for some treatment but the prescription written by her doctor was misunderstood by the medical shop pharmacist who gave her strong medicine and dose. But she did not realize the fact that she was given the wrong medication and continued to use the medicines but soon she fell ill and got a severe stomach ache and other medical issues and went back to the hospital. The doctors diagnosed and said that the main reason for this was because of the wrong medication given by the medical shop pharmacist he misunderstood the hand-written medication by the doctor. This problem is faced by 1 in every 20 patients in the world which inspired us a lot and ignited a thought of creating a Tech solution to solve this problem permanently. Hence we created a web app named HelloDoc a prescription guide for every doctor.

What it does:

HelloDoc is a web application where doctors can just come to our portal and register with their details and then start prescribing medicines to the patients digitally on a portal that is integrated with hellosign authorized digital signature to make sure that the prescription generated is authenticated with no spelling mistakes and incorrect doses of medicines.

How we built it:

We basically built our whole web application in two parts the first part is the front-end part and the second part is the back-end part. The front was built with React JS, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS and we use Figma to design our front-end design. In the back-end, we use python to create the backend servers to connect with the MongoDB database, python hellosign_sdk for integrating digital signature, and pdf creation of the prescription. Finally integrated both the front-end and back-end perfectly.

Challenges we ran into:

There were a couple of challenges we faced:

  1. Handling the huge amount of requests with large JSON data from the front-end was a bit difficult, but finally were able to solve that problem using Fast API in python.
  2. We were facing some issues in making good login and dashboard for our application and solved it using some concepts of system design.

Accomplishments that we're proud of:

We're pretty much satisfied with our project because we were successfully able to solve the core problem that our friend faced and was able to integrate hellosign - sdk to our application ka web application with more authentication(Thanks to hellosign for making the integration very simple with python).

What we learned:

We have learned technically a lot using all our tech stacks in the application and learned how to integrate hellosign SDK to our application. And we have understood how important the concept of digital signature in this 21st century is.

What's next for HelloDoc - by AIOverflow:

We are thinking to add Multiple features to our application where one of the features is creating a full-fledged system to store all the medical documents of the patients on our website using the blockchain to increase security and make a predictive analysis on the uploaded document and submit a report to the doctor who prescribes for them in the future so that the medication will be more accurate.
