  Testing drug combinations

Inspiration

We wanted to create a web app that connected patients and individuals to their prescriptions, as well as create a simple and easy-to-understand platform that allowed them to see the potential side effects of combining drugs.

What it does

This website allows users to input or edits their prescription and OTC or supplemental medication. They can create a medication schedule, which allows the website to send push notifications to your phone, email, and computer. Users can also test combinations of drugs and see what side effects are possible. Additionally, patients/individuals can request refills automatically from their pharmacies without having to call them.

How we built it

We used UIUX to create the front end of this website through Figma. Additionally, we began the backend progress of creating a program that draws from a database of medicine side effects in order to output the side effects for any specific medicine. This backend also includes a way to store user information.

Challenges we ran into

Since our team was not strong in HTML or JavaScript, we weren't able to start with the backend of this project. We were also limited in terms of databases of drug combination side effects; we had to create an example file and use that to show how the code works. This is because there doesn't seem to be a compatible database file that has a list of most side effects of common drug combinations.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of being able to create a multipurpose platform that accomplishes many tasks and is a daily-use app. This website is simple and accessible, but also extremely helpful from a patient perspective.

What we learned

We learned how to make websites intuitive and eye-catching, as well as practical. We took time to understand the framework and tricks in Figma. From a UI perspective, the principles we implemented gave us insight as to what to pursue when we go on to develop the backend of the web app.

What's next for Mendle

In the future, we plan to learn more about JavaScript and HTML to create a final product of this app. We also hope to create an Android and Apple version of this web app so that the notification system is easier to access and the app itself can be more useful to the user.
