The problem Blocare solves

One of the most perplexing parts of healthcare is patient-related data. The existing pool of data becomes larger and larger with each new addition to the patient database. Medical data storage and retrieval must be managed securely and is a source of worry. This is where we come in. To securely store encrypted patient records, we employ IPFS technology, which is distributed and immutable storage. The patient has the option of downloading his or her medical records. The patient has complete control over their medical information and, with their permission, may safely share their data with doctors/insurance providers. Based on their conditions, patients will be provided suggestions for health insurance coverage that will benefit them. Medicines recommended by doctors will also be freely available in PDF format for download.

Our integrated voice assistant (which will support regional languages in the future) makes it easier for patients to arrange medical appointments. The availability of specialised doctors will determine their appointment. The patient can reschedule their appointment timings.

Most of them have been suffering from mental stress in recent years. To enhance mental wellness, our voice assistant listens to the patient's everyday issues and provides a plethora of information and suggestions. It is designed particularly for younger people to assist them in dealing with their own issues.

Challenges we ran into

Working with Inertia JS for the first time was a challenging task ahead. Although we faced some roadblocks while integrating React JS with Laravel we are glad that we were able to use Ineria to provide server side rendering and create a single page application.

Storing the patient records in the encrypted form and decrypting the file and let the patient to download the pdf to maintain privacy of the records was a huge challenge on our way. We are glad that we were able to store the data in the encrypted format in the IPFS and allow only the patient to download the records thereby main.

We are glad that we were able to integrate a Voice Assistant which allows patients to easily schedule appointments within a short span of time. We'll be adding the Voice Assistant in the future, which supports regional languages as well.

Deploying the inertia project on replit for the first time was little difficult than expected. We had to switch to cloudbased database. After few hours of struggle we were able to host our website on Replit.
