Vaccine Alerts/Tracking

Inspiration

With many vaccines having time constraints when taken out of storage, we made a solution to notify users when they can receive a vaccine in their area! In addition we made a way to track and confirm a user's vaccine.

What it does

The user downloads an app and will be prompted to fill in his health card information. The users location along with his age is then stored in our database. The vaccine delivery site can then send a signal and all users with in a certain area will receive a notification that they can receive a vaccine at the site.

Vaccine delivery site's can also enter a QR code on the user's device, this will record proof of vaccination and can be checked later on.

How we built it

We built the mobile app using React Native, and expo for push notifications.

We used a python http server to push the location data to Cassandra.

We used a dotnet core web application to create a web api where we can register and check information as well as send signals

A Node.js server is running in the background receiving messages from the PubSub+ and sending notifications to the user.

We used datastax's astra for the database! As well as it's associated drivers.

Challenges we ran into

A lot.

Accomplishments that we're proud of
