Inspiration

One of the biggest problems with patient adherence is the lack of follow-through with prescription directions. Our own team member didn't follow the doctor's orders and ended up getting bronchitis twice! With the problem being so widespread and close to home, we wanted to do something to address it.

What it does

The app only takes in data regarding the usage of the drug so that the user does not need to input any personal information. Each drug is tracked and the user is reminded if they have not taken the required doses. Each dose is taken with the app camera which tracks the pill to make sure the patient takes it. Once the entire prescription is completed, the user is eligible to receive a free coupon to a restaurant in their local community.

How I built it

The main camera feature was built in Python using OpenCV. Much of the app was prototyped in Figma.

Challenges I ran into

80% of our team is pre-med! It was difficult finding a balance between our idea and what we were actually able to develop technologically in the short timespan.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Our team really came together and worked through the challenge of this hackathon being hosted virtually. We all worked on something completely new and really learned a lot.
