Inspiration

As children of immigrants, we have seen how the elderly in our respective communities struggle to communicate and find suitable PSWs that can provide the care that they need in their homes. Currently, finding a personal support worker in Canada is not as easy as it should be. Connecting PSWs with patients based on different criteria ensures better satisfaction for both PSWs and patients. Ultimately, we want to eliminate barriers so that all Canadians can get the full care that they are comfortable with.

What it does

We thought of creating this web app to match patients based on various attributes, including language, patient needs, and location. The app matches PSWs with patients who may communicate better and provide better care, as well as ensuring that PSWs don't need to travel great distances.

How we built it

We built this web app using React, HTML, and CSS for the front-end, and JavaScript processing for the back-end. This was built entirely on Repl.it, allowing for easy team collaboration and debugging.

Challenges we ran into

We encountered some challenges with the form functionality of the web app, including obtaining and processing the data using states. With some help from a mentor, we were able to process form data in the back-end according to the app requirements.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We created a full-stack website using React.

What we learned

We learned many React functions, states, and its use in the processing of data.

What's next for CareConnect

For scalability, we could implement a database to store user data and PSW data. Further, we can also implement the entire process dynamically from the perspectives of the PSWs, allowing a similar user experience for them.
