Rescue Link

Inspiration

Having witnessed patients dying due to something as silly as arriving late at a hospital, arriving on time but at a place without specialists, arriving at a hospital that is on strike. We decided to change the status quo and solve the problem of the underprivileged man

What it does

It takes in patient data and finds the list of hospitals with the right specialties, available bed spaces and other facilities like O2 and dialysis machine

How we built it

We stayed awake and used nodeJS, react native and mongoDB.

Challenges we ran into

Lack of availability of data on the bed spaces available. Synchronizing the frontend and backend based on the hackathon's rule Severe Time constraint. Building an app in 24 hours under conditions of low sleep.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Actually finishing a significant part of the app in time for submission
Working together even when no one wanted to join a team of medical students who program on the side
