Med Rec

Patient's Complete Medical History

Comment

Inspiration

Our team member Naman Vyas was reading blogs on the blockchain. There he found an interesting use case of blockchain, which suggests storing medical history on blockchain so that it remain immutable and anyone can access it anytime. yet, He found that it's not a good idea to publish private information on a public blockchain. That's how we came up with this idea to develop a secure medical history platform.

What it does

It stores the medical history of a patient and it can be accessed by authorized doctors only. We've created a very user-friendly platform so that people start to adopt it as quickly as possible. We've created a cross-platform app as well as website to use the platform.

How we built it

Since we were a team of 5 members. We decided to split up the tasks. We didn't go for any Backend as a service and decided to implement our backend for more flexibility. Our team members had knowledge of multiple tech stacks so our 2 team members (Naman and Harsh Sharma ) worked on implementing the backend in NodeJs. I (Bishwajeet Parhi) am a Flutter developer, so I mainly focused on building applications with similar user interfaces for both Android and iOS. Vidhu Mathur worked on creating a beautiful website for this platform.

Challenges we ran into

Tbh, there were challenges on each step and with teamwork we overcame but there are still many more hurdles to tackle. And just as before, we will resolve them asap.

It was our first offline hackathon so on the first day, we found team management a little overwhelming but as time passes we were able to sync up with each other.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Bishwajeet Parhi single-handedly made a full-fledged (8-10 screens) application with full functionality and followed proper coding structures and standards completed this app in just about 24 hours.

For Vidhu Mathur, since it was his first experience single-handedly working on an entire website using just HTML, CSS, and EJS.

For Harsh Sharma, working on a backend was a little bit overwhelming for him. He was bound to have some errors because of the complex authentication process. Also joining these on both website as well in android and iOS applications was quite challenging.

For Naman Vyas, he was more into Product Management, Schema Design and Application Integration turning the idea into code.

For Swapnil Jha, he was more into working on creating an excellent presentation so that the other 4 members can focus on their job respectfully.

What we learned

We definitely learned working together as a team for sure. We got to know more about unique bugs that occurred during backend development. We also learned how to work under pressure and at the same time have fun in the hackathon. technical skills like Git, Github, NodeJs, EJs, REST APIs, and a little bit of introduction - that's something everybody learned.

What's next for Med Rec

for future scope, we'll implement an OTP facility for patients to allow doctors access to their information. For Authorizing doctors, we will look for ways to use the government in our product
