Inspiration
We thought we could make something to help with queues in a medical setting, aiming to work on the IFEM goal.
What it does
It facilitates a priority queue structure that can be added to and removed from by the nurses given a user's input of their condition. The user can play games while they wait and see what place they are in the queue. They can also press an emergency button to get immediate help.
How we built it
We used React, HTML, CSS, Node and Python.
Challenges we ran into
Our entire team is inexperienced, as we have never done a hackathon before nor have we had experience programming outside of classes. We had some difficulties getting the project started, getting stuck on places we didn't know how to fix, and understanding new software tools like React and Node.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the effort we put in and that we made something that at least can be viewed and interacted with, given this is our first time.
What we learned
We learned what it is like to participate in a hackathon and how it feels to do hands-on coding. We also learned how to use new software like React and Node.
What's next for HealthQ
Given that our project is a proof of concept, some of its features have not been implemented. This is because we deemed it difficult to learn how to use web sockets or remote servers for our backend in the time we had. Moving forward we would use this base model to integrate a server backend and get the whole thing running as intended.
