Our inspiration for building this website was based on the lack of accessibility of medicine. We realized that the biggest barrier is not just the availability of healthcare but especially the availability of reliable information on how to use it safely. Therefore, we decided to build a website that provided access to reliable dose levels for common medicines, to under-deserved groups who may not have the privilege to consult a doctor. We did this by using databases of information on medicine dosage and calculating a suitable amount. Furthermore, our website also helps patients visualize their progress by "planting" them a "visual tree" every time they remember to eat their medicines. This should create a sense of excitement and personal attachment to the forest, motivating patients to persevere through their complicated medicine schedules.
We built this website using HTML, Javascript, CSS and python.
Through this process, there were many instances where our code would crash due to a little syntax error which would become incredibly difficult to find. This lowered our morale and became a cause of frustration due to a lack of control. However, we're glad to have persevered through this journey and submit a working, finished code. We feel proud of ourselves to be able to code a complete website in such a short amount of time. Through our chaotic experience, we've learnt the importance of keeping our code clean and organized by adding comments, sections and making regular copies of the code. We've also learnt how to delegate tasks and work effectively as a team, and would like to thank Hackathon for the opportunity.
Going forward, we will continue to refine lifenote to improve our code by adding little nuances like adding animations or improving the interface.
