Inspiration

As computer sciences students and computer science and biology students passionate about health, we were inspired by the challenges of the emergency room experience to create a website aimed at improving health and wellness for those in need.

What it does

Our website is designed to enhance the well-being of patients in emergency rooms by addressing anxiety, confusion, and boredom. It offers support and resources to improve their experience during the often stressful waiting period.

How we built it

We developed the website using FastAPI for the backend and React for the frontend, seamlessly integrating both to create a cohesive platform. The primary coding language for the project was JavaScript, with additional features added to enhance the website's functionality.

Challenges we ran into

We gained valuable experience by learning how both the API and frontend function, as well as how to connect them effectively. Additionally, we focused on organizing our workflow and brainstorming ideas to implement features that align with the purpose of our website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully integrated the backend and frontend of our project, and we are excited to present a beta version that reflects our vision. This hackathon marks our first experience tackling a project of this scale from scratch, and we are proud of our accomplishment in bringing our ideas to actual result.

What we learned

Throughout this project, we gained valuable skills such as leveraging GitHub for version control, using AI tools effectively, and implementing an API into a project. We also learned how to connect the backend and frontend seamlessly, and how to stay organized when managing a large-scale project.

What's next for ED patient

Moving forward, we could refine the website by enhancing its design for a more intuitive user experience and clearer navigation. Additionally, adding more features focused on supporting the overall wellness of patients, such as mindfulness exercises or real-time updates, would further improve the experience.
