Inspiration
We recognized that there is a need in the healthcare system for a medication management system and symptom tracker for patients. Patients who use antibiotics, birth control, or any other medication that runs over a period of time can benefit from a prescription schedule and a place to record their thoughts about how the medication affects them. Doctors can use this app to see how patients feel from the medication prescribed and make changes accordingly.
What it does
Inform patients more about their medications, Allow medical examiners to see patient’s progress and alter for better treatment strategy, Provides researchers with data to improve drugs
How I built it
We built it using Github, Android Studios, Flutter, and Firebase, and using the Flutter-related Dart language.
Challenges I ran into
We were new to Flutter and Firebase, so it took about 7hrs to just set up flutter on android studios, and we had to deal with several debugging issues as well.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
It was all of our first hackathon and we made a working application by implementing a new software and language within 2 days.
What I learned
We learned how to incorporate firebase and flutter with applications. We also learned how to properly and fully use GITHUB. Finally, we learned a lot about the medical industry and how much innovation is still needed.
What's next for MedTrack
We would like to collaborate with researchers, pharmacists, and doctors to further improve our application.We want to create a Portal for Pharmacists to easily upload patient’s medications schedule, collaborate with researchers to help patients respond better to their treatment, connect with a pill dispenser device called Hero which keeps track of patients’ pills to automate responses, and Informs patients what step to take if they miss a dose.
