RxRecruit

Inspiration

Clinical trials are crucial for medical advancements, yet patient recruitment remains a major challenge. RxRecruit was built to bridge the gap between doctors and patients, ensuring faster recruitment and real-time engagement in clinical research.

What it does

RxRecruit connects doctors with eligible patients for clinical trials, streamlining recruitment and medical logistics. It provides real-time chat for emergency assistance, appointment tracking, and medication management, making healthcare more efficient and accessible.

How we built it

RxRecruit was built using Next.js for the frontend, Node.js and Socket.io for real-time communication, and MySQL for managing patient and doctor data. WebSockets enable instant messaging, while a dynamic dashboard enhances user experience.

Challenges we ran into

One of the biggest challenges was integrating real-time chat while maintaining a smooth user experience. Ensuring accurate patient-to-doctor matching and handling dynamic updates efficiently also required optimization.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully implemented a seamless patient recruitment system and live chat for immediate doctor-patient interaction, which enhances engagement and trust. Our intuitive UI and smart filtering system make trial recruitment significantly easier.

What we learned

We learned the importance of efficient database design, handling WebSockets for real-time communication, and creating a responsive, user-friendly UI that simplifies complex healthcare workflows.

What's next for RxRecruit

We plan to integrate AI-driven patient matching, expand to more clinical institutions, and implement automated alerts for trial updates. Adding video consultation and insurance integration are also on our roadmap to make RxRecruit an all-in-one healthcare platform.
