I rarely remember the last time I had an eye exam and this got me thinking. I really should be remembering them, in addition to the drugs I take. For instance, I never knew that fish oil pills and ibuprofen could react adversely. In a time when patients are far away from their doctors, it it more important than ever for patients to become advocates of their own healthcare. And this is as simple as being cognizant of the drugs they are taking.
What it does
PatientSense allows the user to track the medications they are taking. If any of the combination of drugs they are taking may have an adverse reaction, the app will notify them. The patient can then discuss this with their practitioner. Additionally, the app allows the patient to keep track of a different types of appointments all in one location.
Having a centralised location of drug history and medical history prepares the patient for a virtual visit and saves time of the practitioner who spends less than digging up the patients heathcare history.
How I built it
In video above!
Challenges I ran into
Mostly the time constraints and being a one person team.
What's next for PatientSense
Adding some sort of ML to make virtual health more accessible.
