Tele-Medicine

This project solve the problem of health related issues by providing virtual support by bringing blockchain and healthcare under one roof and used ML algos for health disease prediction and analysis.

Inspiration

As we all know that managing health care data as well as providing a convenient health care facilities for rural people has not been easy.Also during pandemic like covid19, we cannot risk our life to visit doctor or hospital. Maintaining and sharing data with healthcare personnel as well as insurance bodies is really challenging task. Our health care record is really important, so with this platform one can easily secure his/her medical history and records with the help of blockchain technology. Due to medical report error, there have been hundreds of thousands of deaths. This inspired me to try and create a prototype for such app that can make safe blockchain medical records and also provide medical support to the patients

What it does

The idea about telemedicine popped up recently in my mind. In difficult times like pandemic where going to hospital is not good idea and rural areas where where these is no proper health services and hospitals. they can write their disease's symptoms in an app and app will analyze the predicted disease and get consult with doctors about medication all virtually. the patient medical record will be stored in blockchain and can only be seen by authorized doctor. patient can make payment to doctors virtually through ethereum wallet. Also one can claim insurance money with this platform, where the insurance companies can log in and check the medical reports of its customers.

How I built it

For the front end I have use node js, html and css and it is combined with machine learning algorithm like svm and random forest to analyze symptoms and predict disease.For virtual payment we have ethereum wallet where patients can make payment to doctors after getting virtual consults from doctor. I have used ethereum and solidity for securing medical records in blockchain.

Challenges I ran into

The biggest challenge was to adapt with the newer version of solidity Working continuously for 24 hours was also an unhertho challenge. Also combining node js and ethereum was tough on itself.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I was able to create a prototype of the idea that I thought. Maybe something didnt work and I had to modify some but at the end I have a web app that do function as I wanted, Also I had knowledge on the ethereum blockchain as well as MERN stack but building an application utilizing those skills was totally new for us. It was a great experience building such a good project.

What I learned

I learned to combine all my knowledge on various field to create a project. I also learned just in 24 hours of hackathon we can learn a lot of things,trying different things,challenging yourself to make it work and feeling motivated by the competition environment.

What's next for Tele-Medicine

It is still a prototype. Whole app cannot be made in just 1 day. but I am thinking to take it furthur. I couldnt give domain name neither got to deploy in cloud due to time constraint. so at first I will do that and improve the app
