Inspiration
The healthcare industry is often plagued by communication gaps, lack of personalized care, and inefficiencies in managing patient safety. We were inspired to create SafeLink to bridge these gaps by leveraging technology to empower both patients and healthcare providers. Our goal was to ensure that patient safety is prioritized through actionable insights, real-time consent management, and AI-driven tools.
What it does
SafeLink is an AI-powered healthcare platform that enhances patient safety by generating personalized safety checklists, managing real-time consent, and securely handling patient data. It bridges the gap between patients and healthcare providers by offering actionable insights, ensuring transparency, and improving communication for better healthcare outcomes.
How we built it
- Frontend: Built using React Native for a seamless cross-platform experience. Key features include:
- Dynamic checklist display.
- Real-time consent management.
- User-friendly navigation and design.
- Backend: Developed with Node.js and Firebase, ensuring secure and scalable data handling. Key functionalities include:
- AI-driven checklist generation using external APIs.
- Firestore integration for storing user and checklist data.
- RESTful APIs for real-time communication with the frontend.
- AI Integration: Leveraged AI models to generate personalized safety checklists based on patient information.
Challenges we ran into
- Data Security: Ensuring secure handling of sensitive patient data was a top priority and required careful implementation of authentication.
- AI Integration: Integrating external AI APIs and ensuring the generated outputs were relevant and actionable posed challenges.
- Real-Time Updates: Implementing real-time updates for consent management and checklist retrieval required efficient state management and backend optimization. -Blockchain-experiment: We tried to incorporate midnight blockchain into our project to securely handle our patient's data but due to lack of clear documentation and experience we could not achieve it in given time frame.
