We made a digital database for hospitals to store data more efficiently in times like these when they are flooded with patients. It saves resources as it stores data digitally rather than manually.
Inspiration: A couple of weeks ago I went to the hospital and saw that we had to fill a manual form which the hospital was then storing and I thought it would be much easier to store that same data digitally.
What it does: It stores data from patients in a database. It can add, save, select, delete and search up data.
How we built it: We built it by first using Sqlitebrowser to make the database. Then we used QTdesigner to make the UI file, then we converted the UI file into a python file by using the pyuic4 command on command prompt. Lastly we used python to write the functions for all buttons.
Challenges we ran into: We had many issues regarding GitHub which slowed our progress down. We had many errors in python which had to be fixed. We also faced a few technical issues as sometimes zoom crashes or our computer didnt start.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: We were able to finish pretty fast and it gave us time to brainstorm and see what else we can do with our project. It all worked smoothly and it looked pretty good at the end. We were proud of the search button because we weren't very sure we could make it work.
What we learned: We learned how to work as a team very efficiently, we also learnt new codes and widgets.
What's next for Hospital Database: We plan to try and take it forward after the codefest if possible, our goal is for a hospital to someday use it so we can be part of making healthcare more efficient.
