Inspiration
The COVID-19 pandemic has made healthcare an even more important topic. Hospitals have been full and people have been struggling to meet their urgent healthcare needs. Our team of programmers wanted to design something to do our part and help people during this pandemic and beyond.
What it does
Our web application helps analyze your symptoms to diagnosis a condition. It does this using your sex, age, and a variety of symptoms. We also included a dashboard with COVID-19 data to help people stay aware of the status of this ongoing crisis.
How we built it
This web application was built using the React framework. The majority of our functionality takes place is the symptom checker feature, which uses the Infermedica to get and post disease and symptom data. We also used a separate COVID-19 statistics API to build the COVID-19 dashboard.
Challenges We Ran Into
We had some difficulty connecting the API to the website due to our low experience in this area, however, with our collaboration we were able to come up with a working project!
What We Learned
We learned a lot about web design and API use. We did have some previous experience with React development, but this project really helped solidify our knowledge. Also, we had practically no knowledge of integrating an API so this was an awesome skill to learn and have for the future.
What's Next
We would like to further extend the application to create a chat feature which would allow users to give a more in depth description of their symptoms and provide a more accurate diagnosis. We only had a limited number of API calls in our free trial of Infermedica so some features like this were difficult to implement.
