MedFile

This project eliminates the waiting time of patients for new applications in a hospital. The user details are already collected and converted into a QR that can be scanned at the hospitals.

Inspiration

Every day we see a lot of people waiting in long queues in the hospitals for filling application form or registration form before getting treated. Sometimes, it causes delay in the treatment, havoc and stress. There are many cases where people have lost their lives due to delay in treatments. It impacts the independence of the patient as he has to depend on someone else to fill the forms for them.

What it does

The application already gets the user details and stores it securely in a database. A unique QR code is also generated for each user which can be scanned by the hospital staff to get all the details needed to fill the forms. Also, they get to know about the past operations, ongoing medications and allergies of the patient which are essential for proper treatment.

How we built it

We built the web application using React.js for the Front-end and Node.js for the Back-end. Firebase services like Authentication and FireStore database are used to maintain the user's privacy.

Challenges we ran into

As we used bootstrap, designing the UI was a big challenge. Hosting the server was also a big challenge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we completed most of the planned functionalities within the given time and used version management of GitHub in the best possible way for collaboration between the team members. GitHub has such vast possibilities that it made hosting the frontend and backend possible.

What we learned

We learnt a lot during this hackathon. We learnt how to use express dynamic routes and many hooks in React.js. We also learnt how to host the server code and also the Front-end.

What's next for MedFile

UI improvements, Mobile responsiveness, Direct integration with hospital systems, unique URLs for users
