Plaso Connect - The Lifeline

A one-stop platform for COVID relief resources -- Connecting patients with Plasma donors and oxygen suppliers. Built for the citizens, to win over the pandemic

Comment

Inspiration

Living amidst the pandemic has become a challenge for the citizens of India. With the exponential rise in the number of daily infections of late, we can see an ever-increasing demand for the healthy plasma donors and oxygen units, whereas the supply isn’t enough to cover the disparity. Moreover, what’s more serious is that help is not reaching the people in need at the right time and people are having to experience the unfortunate death of their beloved. Citizens are desperately looking for support all over social media but by the time a lifeline is acquired, it’s already too late. At the same time the accountability of resources on the internet is a big concern. Inspired by how social media is playing an instrumental role in trying to help people find support for the patients, we decided to create a platform that bridges the gap and connects the users in need with the right people providing life-sustaining resources.

What it does

Plaso Connect is an application which acts as a one-stop solution where the people requiring blood plasma/oxygen can directly find and contact the donors and healthcare units as per their requirements, directly from our app. This will enable users for taking prompt action before any fatality happens. The app allows patients to get in touch with the people who are willing to donate their plasma, ensuring that help reaches the ones in need in due time before it’s too late.

How we built it

We have used these Tech Stacks :

  • Google Flutter (For building the App)
  • Firebase and Firestore (To maintain App database and accounts)
  • APIs (covid APIs, etc for showing Covid related data and other features)

Accomplishments that we're proud of and what we learned

Being totally new to Hackathons, the implementation of the entire project helped us realize the importance of collaboration and the dynamics of working in a team. In every Hackathon, proper time management plays a crucial role that can become a determining factor for the overall progress; we understood the instrumentality of following the code of conduct and treating fellow developers with respect while learning and improving through their feedback.

What's next for Plaso Connect - The Lifeline

  • Multiple languages support
  • Offline Facilities
