Inspiration
One of our members, Chris, has experience in the pharmacy industry and from personal experience knew there were ways to improve the workflow in pharmacies so that it would be more efficient. Furthermore, across the US, many pharmacists are quitting due to increasing workload. Pharmaflow aims to mitigate this stress by delegating tasks and notifying pharmacists of which tasks are of the utmost importance to be completed.
What it does
Managers can assign urgent tasks to workers when their help is needed at certain stations, and Pharmaflow will send a notification alerting that worker that their help is needed. This streamlines communication in the workplace and ensures that workers are immediately notified when their services are needed and where.
How we built it
Used Twilio to send SMS messages, JavaScript/HTML/CSS to style the webpage, Node.js on the backend and FireBase to authenticate users.
Challenges we ran into
Combining the different aspects into one cohesive project was difficult for us, also properly working with users in the FireBaseDB.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Successfully managing to use FireBase authentification and getting Twilio to work.
What we learned
We became more familiar with
What's next for Pharmaflow
Improving upon the design of the application itself, perhaps transitioning it to a mobile application rather than a web application.
