PregGo

Inspiration

While attending the Consumer-Driven Patient Safety Solution Workshop, we were shocked to hear the relative high rate of infant and maternal fatalities in the United States. We learned that one problem that drives this statistic is that many women live in communities without access to health care, and as a consequence, some do not visit a physician until they are giving birth.

What it does

This web application allows expecting mothers to search geographically for a health care provider in their area. The expecting mother provides her information and can book an appointment. The app then books an Uber for the health care provider to arrive to the mother's home. The idea behind this web application is to make it much easier and cheaper for expecting mothers to book an prenatal appointment. This has downstream effect of reducing health care costs down the road and reducing future fetal and maternal fatalities.

How we built it

The Web Application is built using Next.JS

Gemini API to provide information to mothers.

Challenges we ran into

For all team members, this was their first Hackathon. Keeping the project to a manageable size without adding too many features.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The map object that provides location of health care providers.
