Inspiration

Malpractice is one of the most serious issues currently existing in the medical field, while the major factor playing into this issue is doctors burning themselves out due to tight and long work shifts. It is unarguably one of the most overlooked issues currently in society, and thus, we believe that we can utilize technology to combat this issue.

What it does

The application aims to promote a healthy work life balance by creating a scheduling function, a community for doctors to trade shifts and share their daily activities of maintaining a good balance, and an education page of tips on how to manage time, stay mentally healthy, and where to access emergency support.

How we built it

Before the building process, we conducted a thorough analysis and literature review to determine the trend between doctor malpractice and working hours. This is built by Swift on Xcode as we want to publish it as a mobile app.

Challenges we ran into

Swift is a language that we are unfamiliar with so we spent a lot of time into learning its unique logic rules between files.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

My teammate has never learned this language before and being able to learn an entire new language has been a fantastic experience for her.

What we learned

This is not just about creating a hard project, but about a project that is effective yet tackling directly the problem. To accomplish that, truly understanding the issue is important.

What's next for MedHealth

The application is positively recognized by hospital organization board members and several personal support workers. We believe that it can be brought out to our target audience successfully.
