Inspiration
During the Covid-19 pandemic, many of us relied on our doctors to get tested, learn more about Covid, and check our health. However, there is one group of people that have been marginalized especially during Covid - people with disabilities. Even under normal circumstances, people with disabilities are less likely to have access to health care, but this has been magnified during the pandemic. We wanted to create an accessible platform for patients to upload medical data so that when they go to the office, they no longer need to fill out a lot of paperwork. Not only this, but the doctor can also easily update lab results onto the portal. Although there are some patient portals, there is no one central platform that can be accessed by all doctor offices. Our goal is to centralize patient info onto one platform to make health care accessible to all.
What it does
Creates a platform for patients to upload medical data and doctors to update records. Removes the costs and hassle for recapping medical history during appointments and filling out paperwork which can be a barrier to people with disabilities.
How we built it
We used html/css for the frontend and flask and python scripts for the backend. Set up firebase project for future implementation.
Challenges we ran into
One challenge we ran into was implementing firebase.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Wave detected zero errors in our website homepage which shows how it is accessible.
What we learned
We learned that during the design process, developers should plan for all people meaning people with disabilities too.
What's next for Secured Health
Implementing firebase to deploy the website in a secure fashion and making a database for the backend.
