Inspiration

This app was inspired by our entrepreneurial spirit. We decided to create an app that would improve the health and safety of people in North America, while also being a viable startup. All three developers have passion for software development and entrepreneurship, making this the an extremely well-designed app.

What it does

  • Secure login system, with personal accounts for drivers and customers
  • Customers can add prescriptions, which can then be viewed or ordered from a pharmacy
  • Upon ordering of prescription from customer, driver's available deliveries updates in real time to allow driver to accept any delivery in their area in their area
  • Smooth in-app experience, easy-to-use UI for both customer and driver
  • Secure storage of backend data, fetch requests used to push and pull data as needed
  • Verification on every form, cannot enter empty fields or invalid emails/mobile number

How I built it

This app was built in React Native using the Expo Client. This app is designed for Android users, and will be available on the Google Play Store in the coming days. The backend is built in the Python Flask framework and is hosted on Heroku.

Challenges I ran into

For all three developers, React Native was not our main language. Learning React Native throughout the hack was extremely challenging, yet super rewarding to see the amazing app we ended up building.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are extremely proud of the final product we developed, given our React Native prior skills. We are also extremely proud to have taken an idea from idealization to a minimum viable product for our startup.

What I learned

We significantly improved our React Native skills and learned a lot about it. We also learned the challenge it is to make a well-designed application in the short timeframe.

What's next for Pills on Wheels

Next for Pills on Wheels is to take this minimum viable product and turn it into an actual startup. We will continue to develop our application while also seeking approval from the FDA and MHTA to allow us to use our app. We feel we have a well thought-out business plan (see attached business plan) that can lead us to success as a viable startup.
