Inspiration This application was inspired by a real life situation, and it not only aims to streamline safe elderly healthcare and medication management for caregivers but also serves as a personal reminder and tracking system for individuals, promoting self-care and well-being.
What it does MediScan accommodates for two different point of views, one for the patient and the other for the caretaker. On the user side, users capture images of their prescribed medication which will output detailed information about each medication along with a personalized schedule for consumption. This ensures the patient takes the correct medicine and amount. The data is securely stored in the system, enabling reminders and monitoring of medication intake.
How we built it We utilized React Native for the frontend development and integrated Gemini 1.5 API for backend functionality. Recognizing the specific needs of elderly users, we designed the app with accessibility in mind, leveraging AI to ensure ease of use for those residing in the Irvine area.
Challenges we ran into Throughout the development process, we encountered various challenges, such as integrating third-party APIs, optimizing user experience for elderly users, and implementing robust data management systems.
Accomplishments that we're proud of We take pride in delivering a polished and easily accessible product that addresses real-world healthcare needs. Our collaborative efforts have resulted in an intuitive and user-friendly application tailored for elderly/disabled users.
What we learned This project provided us with valuable experience in starting a project from scratch and collaborating effectively in a team setting. We gained insights into frontend development with React Native and honed our skills in problem-solving and project management.
What's next for MediScan In our vision for the future, MediScan is poised to revolutionize healthcare support by harnessing the power of data. Our upcoming features will include automated scheduling and reminders, utilizing insightful data analytics to streamline patient care. Furthermore, we're committed to integrating robust database functionality, granting caregivers seamless access to vital patient information and medication history. This holistic approach not only enhances the quality of care delivered but also fosters a deeper connection between caregivers and patients. Additionally, our expansion across various web platforms ensures universal accessibility, empowering users with a user-friendly and versatile healthcare solution.
