Behind the scenes of the SecureMD Twilio ChatBot

Inspiration

Our inspiration for creating a secure platform using blockchain technology came from the need for secure and confidential communication between doctors and patients. In the traditional system, there was always a fear of data breaches and privacy violations. With the help of blockchain technology, we aimed to provide a platform where the users, both doctors and patients, could communicate with each other securely.

What it does

Our platform ensures authentication using public and private keys for each user, providing a secure and encrypted way of sending and receiving messages through Hedera. Our front end features a login section, a messaging section where users can see their notes, and an admin/doctor section where they can send messages and see messages that have been sent. Our platform also keeps a secure track of user data by saving it in the hedera transactions, providing a secure and tamper-proof environment for the users.

How we built it

Our tech stack consisted of Twilio, Python, Hedera, Wix, JavaScript, and React, The messaging system was built using the Hedra protocol, ensuring secure and encrypted communication between the users. The front end was designed with a login section, a messaging section where users can see their messages, and an admin/doctor section where they can send messages and see messages that have been sent. To ensure the security and privacy of user data, we saved it in the hedera blockchain. Overall, the platform provides a secure environment for our users to communicate with confidence.

Challenges we ran into

In building the secure platform, we encountered several challenges. The implementation of the Hedra protocol was a complex process, and we had to put in a lot of effort to ensure that the messages were transmitted securely. Additionally, the secure storage and tracking of user data presented a challenge, as we had to ensure that the data was stored securely and could be easily retrieved when needed. Despite these challenges, we were able to overcome them.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

we are proud of our successful implementation of blockchain technology to provide a secure platform for users to communicate with their doctors. This accomplishment showcases our technical expertise and ability to bring together various components to build a comprehensive solution. Finally, we are proud of the secure storage and tracking of user data, which is a crucial aspect of the platform and demonstrates our commitment to data privacy and security.

What we learned

Throughout the development process of our secure platform, we learned the importance of utilizing blockchain technology for secure communication between doctors and patients. Our experience with utilizing various technologies such as Twilio, python, hedera, wix, js, and react helped us to build a platform that ensures the privacy of user data with the use of public and private key authentication. The ability to send and receive messages through hedera while tracking users' data in network transactions was a challenging but rewarding experience. Overall, we learned the importance of creating secure and private communication systems in the healthcare industry.

What's next for SecureMD

One possibility could be to enhance the user experience by adding more features or improving the interface. Another option could be to expand the platform's reach by integrating with other healthcare systems or partnering with more healthcare providers. Additionally, we could also explore new uses for blockchain technology, such as utilizing smart contracts to automate processes within the platform.
