Project Details

Embarking on the healthcare track at NWHacks 2024, our team was fueled by a genuine passion for enhancing prescription usability. Many of us or our loved ones have faced the challenges of managing prescriptions, inspiring us to create a solution that keeps patients on track. Our web app takes your healthcare journey seriously. Seamlessly upload, view, and receive medical reminders – fostering confidence and control in your health management.

With a prescription hovered over the camera, our drug-detection feature determines the name and allows users to provide quantity, frequency, and expiry in their upload. From there, prescriptions can be viewed from the dashboard stored on MongoDB, and only accessible through fingerprint or facial recognition using 1Password Passage, acting as a highly-secure primary key to data. Based on the frequency of drug use, SMS reminders are meticulously scheduled in the day, with options to require confirmation of consumption and direct contact with an emergency number if not fulfilled. The web app is hosted using Heroku, allowing access and functionality through a variety of devices.
