Medical Supplies Request Board

Inspiration

Due to COVID-19, hospitals across the world are at or exceeding their capacity in treating patients. In doing so, they are running extremely low or have an outright shortage of supplies such as masks and gowns. Fortunately, various corporations such as Apple, Amazon, Gap, and Nike have responded by using their manufacturing lines to create personal protective equipment. However, they need to identify which hospitals are short in which items so they can efficiently donate and ship to the places that need them the most. link

What it does

A supply request board where hospitals can list items that are in need of replenishing. Other organizations/donors can view the dashboard and allocate resources/supplies as needed.

Currently I have included a main request board, and a donation submission page as part of my proof of concept.

How I built it

I built it with React (create-react-app).

What's next for Medical Supplies Request Board

Setting up a server and database along with:

1. Accounts creation for hospitals - Hospitals can manage/edit/add what items they need, communicate with donors if necessary, confirm donation submission, keep track of shipment status (pending, en-route, received)
   
2. Account creation for donors - Donors/Suppliers can keep track of shipment (provide tracking details, status of fulfillment - pending, en-route, received)
3. Profile pages for hospitals and donors within the request board app - This would include a description, address, person of contact, and ability to directly message the recipient.
