Inspiration

The inspiration for this project came from witnessing the struggle many hospitals face with overcrowded emergency rooms and the constant shortage of available beds for critical patients. During peak times, delays in getting patients into a bed can have life-threatening consequences. This inspired me to develop a solution that uses cutting-edge technology to solve this issue.

What it does

The Real Time Hospital Bed Tracking System helps hospitals manage bed availability in real-time. By using React , and Convex the system monitors bed occupancy, predicts demand, and alerts hospital staff when beds become available. This allows hospitals to:

• Optimize bed usage by predicting when beds will be free.
• Reduce wait times for emergency patients.
• Prevent overcrowding in ERs and other departments.
• Improve patient care by ensuring timely admissions.

How we built it

1. Real-Time Data Collection: I developed a system to monitor bed occupancy by tracking patient admissions and discharges.
   1. Integration: The system integrates with the hospital’s existing management software to streamline bed allocation and reduce errors from manual tracking.
   2. User Interface: I created a dashboard that allows hospital staff to view available beds, receive alerts, and manage bed assignments efficiently.

Challenges we ran into

• Real-Time Bed Tracking: One of the biggest challenges was tracking the availability of beds in real-time. Hospitals are fast-paced environments, and the status of beds can change quickly. Ensuring that the system accurately reflected bed occupancy at all times was difficult, especially when patients were transferred or discharged unexpectedly.
• Sending Admission Requests: Another challenge was integrating the system with the hospital's existing admission process. Automating the process of sending bed availability updates and admission requests to hospital staff required seamless coordination between the tracking system and hospital operations, which was not always straightforward.
• System Reliability: Ensuring that the system was reliable and fast enough to handle urgent bed requests during peak hours, without delays, was crucial. Any lag in the system could cause delays in patient admissions, potentially jeopardizing patient care. Despite these challenges, the project was successful in creating a reliable system that improved hospital efficiency and helped ensure patients received timely care.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Efficient Bed Management: I successfully created a system that allows hospitals to track bed availability in real-time, significantly improving the speed of patient admissions and reducing wait times.
• Life-Saving Impact: By reducing delays and optimizing resources, our system contributes to improving patient outcomes and potentially saving lives.
  • User-Friendly Interface: I am proud of the intuitive and easy-to-use UI I designed. The dashboard allows hospital staff to quickly view available beds, receive real-time alerts, and manage bed assignments with minimal effort, improving overall user experience and efficiency in a high-pressure environment.
