Inspiration

The emergency room is currently a chaotic and messy process where people are put into the emergency room in what almost seems like random order. We want to streamline the emergency room experience by making a system for both paramedics and hospitals.

What it does

This system currently has 2 key components:

A system and platform for ambulance drivers where they optimize picking up patients and choosing the best hospital depending on availability
A system and platform for hospitals where they can visually see and modify patient rooms and optimize which patients go in. They can access their patients data easily.

How we built it

Using React.js we bulit a web application which allows users to sign up and login to their appropriate platform. Only paramedics and hospitals are the supported types of users.

We addiontally used Node.js and AWS lambda as supports for our backend to create server queries.

We used Firebase as our database for its realtime read and writing so hospitals don't waste any time because of server queries.

Challenges we ran into

Due to limitations using local machines, we decided to use parts of AWS for our backend. Designing an optimal system was also difficult because there are many parts to the emergency room.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Within the time of this hackathon we created a full stack application that we felt was almost impossible to make in that time. We are also proud to start a project which involved a large amount of research and one that is largely scalable.

What we learned

It was a first time for all of us using real time data (such as rapid queries to patient rooms). It was also a learning experience designing a scalable system and platform.
