Inspiration
To overcome accessibility issues and delay with prescription medication. Specifically, targeting those who are unable to receive their medication and cannot wait to receive their medication through the mail.
How I built it
Primarily using React and Google Cloud APIs
Challenges we ran into
We attempted to use MongoDB and Microsoft Azure but we realized that it would be simpler and more efficient to use one platform and minimize the business rule of our project. Thus, we moved to using Google Cloud API for storage as well as OpenCV. Another challenge was learning Javascript for the first time, and implementing it in conjunction with Google Firebase and the Google Maps API. The main problem was that detecting nearby pharmacies and displaying their markers; however, this was eventually determined to be a simple string error.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Overcoming our challenges and creating a final project that can make an impact in the world!
What I learned
We learned how to use Firebase, React, and how to implement APIs. Also, we learned to fix bugs and use technology we had never experimented with before.
