  QueerHealth Web Page

Inspiration

The growing need for accessible and inclusive healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community inspired us to create QueerHealth.

What it does

QueerHealth is a comprehensive web page that provides a map of resources for STD/STI testing, sexual assault support, abortion care, contraception options, gender-affirming medical care, and mental health support.

How we built it

We built QueerHealth using Google Maps API, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These technologies allowed us to create an interactive map of resources and provide a user-friendly experience for those seeking healthcare.

Challenges we ran into

Almost starting over at 10 pm and pivoting to different project idea. Ensuring the accuracy and availability of resources was a challenge, but we were able to overcome it through constant research and collaboration. Debugging a lot of html and css.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to offer a one-stop-shop for the LGBTQ+ community at UCLA to access the healthcare they need and deserve.

What we learned

We learnt a lot about web development, and integrating other APIs like mymaps by Google. Also coding for the first time!

What's next for QueerHealth

We plan to expand our platform to reach more people and offer even more resources for the LGBTQ+ community's healthcare needs. As well as have a backend that updates a real-time database where community members can add to the resources.
