MedFlow

A software platform to collect patient data that will flow into pharmaceutical supply chain decisions to ensure that medical organizations foresee & capture scope of needed equipment.

Comment

Inspiration

We strive to streamline the medical supply procurement process for medical offices and pharmacies by collecting local patient data and using machine learning to capture health trends and project future needed supplies and prescriptions. This will help ensure doctors always have the equipment they need and are ahead of any unexpected local health trends.

What it does

The MedFlow platform has a patient profile feature where users can input their medical records, note any previous and current symptoms, and track health trends and conditions. With this data, we are applying machine learning to foresee health trends of patients of individual medical offices as well as local city trends to help ensure medical suppliers are providing organizations with the needed supplies in an efficient and more affordable manner.

How we built it

We used Figma and Zeplin for UX design. We used JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and JQuery to build the front-end. We used Java and MongoDB in the back-end to create a database and logic for forecasting and attempting to diagnose patients with machine learning.

Challenges we ran into

This is the first time in at least six months that our back-end devs have picked up Java. This is our team's first foray into any database APIs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting the database set up for patients was an achievement for our team. We are especially proud of our designs from our UX designer and the recreation by our front-end developer.

What we learned

We learned that building a company takes a ton of work! We had a great time learning the ins and outs of corporate design and learned what it takes to get a startup off the ground.

Our front-end devs learned to use CSS and JavaScript more effectively and our back-end devs learned to use databases and structure their algorithms towards a company's goal.

What's next for MedFlow

Developing our AI and ML to continue to learn and help accurately predict medications, diagnoses, and trends within the medical industry.
