Inspiration

We noticed the biggest cause for patient safety related problems was in the medication category. This motivated us to pursue a solution that could help patients with this issue.

What it does

Our app takes in user prescription information and allows the user to easily track their medications to prevent any medication related issues and spread more knowledge to the user about their prescriptions and any potential side effects that may appear. The users are never more than one click away from a call to their doctor!

How we built it

We used HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Open FDA API, GitHub, and Netlify to consolidate practical, useful information that can be easily accessed through mobile or desktop applications.

Challenges we ran into

The complex built in JavaScript functions were difficult to manage to produce information the way we intended. We had little experience using APIs and had to spend some time integrating the information from the API. Further, we had not created a PWA before and had to learn how to do so.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning JavaScript, APIs, and PWAs.

What we learned

Flexbox, API queries and interpretation, and PWA deployment procedures.

What's next for Medication Tracker App

Give an alert for users when the prescription they're using has been recalled by the FDA in order to prevent any health hazards for the patient. We also wish to implement push notifications in order to remind user to take their prescriptions at designated times.
