Inspiration

All of us are familiar with diabetes. All of us have seen on the news that, despite all the new treatments, a lot of people die everyday because their immune system is strongly compromised. The number of deaths in the diabetic population because of influenza is constant, which is now evident with COVID-19. We want to help these patients. We want to increase their quality of life and ensure they feel safe and secure. We want to make THE DIFFERENCE IN OUR SOCIETY!

What it does

Patient health conditions monitored remotely in real-time by privately employed nurses working for a company that sells insulin pumps integrated with glucose measurement.

How we built it

We’ve built it with 2 methods, leaving different prototypes. One is with Vue.js and D3 and the other dash and python.

Challenges we ran into

We thought we had a strong idea in the beginning, however, we had to change our minds after more than 12h and start building everything from scratch. With time and pressure, we would like also to have more time for teambuilding.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

First of all, WE MADE IT! It is incredible to receive such good feedback from mentors and we are really confident about our idea. In less than 48h we came up with a strong idea, made a business plan, built 2 prototypes, and built a user story that we shared in storytelling format during our pitch. We learnt how to use data visualization with D3 to make different kinds of graphs.

What we learned

Having diverse members with varying skill sets, expertise, and time zones, we learned plenty of insights from each other such as diabetes management, the healthcare system, programming, design, time management, and communication skills.

What's next for InsuGuard

We are committed to continuing this project after the Hackathon. We are fortunate to have mentors willing to work with us; therefore, we need more support from organizations so that we can move this forward, create an impact in the medical field and in our communities.
