The problem Centralized Patient Management Portal. solves
Problem Statement:
Due to the increasing population of our country, it has become a hassle to maintain the
health records of the patients by themselves and the hospitals as a lot of paperwork is
involved. In case someone loses any lab test report, the repetitive lab tests costs a to the
patients. There is a need for digital and paperless solutions that can handle patient data and
provide seamless access to the records when required.
Brief about your approach:
we aim to create a unique Health card for every individual with a unique ID, similar to the Adhaar card
which is connected to a centralized patient repository.
o The Card will have a QR Code which will redirect to the centralized patient portal that will contain
the following details - Name, DOB, Blood Group, previous medical history, address and contact details
along with biometrics.
Detailed Proposal & Solution Approach
Whenever the patient will visit a doctor, he/she will carry the health card along with them.
o The doctor will scan the QR code all will be able to access all the information related to that patient.
o After that, doctor will take patients history and prescribe medicines according to that.
o All the prescribed medicines and treatment information will be stored in the patient’s unique
database, which can be accessed during future treatments.
Our aim is to create a unique health card, which will be very similar to the existing Adhaar card. The
health card will contain a unique ID with a QR Code which will be linked to the centralised patient
repository.
The centralised patient repository will contain the entire database of the patients throughout the
country and they can be accessed via the unique ID or the QR code.
Every patient’s data can be viewed and updated in real time by the doctors
And other healthcare professionals in real time.
Challenges we ran into
Problem - We are using the django framework for building the web app. While creating the database model, we were not able to rename the object that was being created every time we entered new data into the database.
Solution - After several debugging sessions, and help from the mentors, we were able to detect that there was an error in the database model class building. So we solved it with the help of mentors.
Problem - while making any changes to the existing database model, we were getting errors while remigrating the database model. It was asking to provide default values for the new parameters.
Solution - We renamed the class name in the database model. And then we registered the model in the admin site. And we mentioned the app name as well as class name in settings.py .
Problem - The CSS files were unable to load to the frontend even after keeping the css files in the static folder.
Solution - It was a path error and we solved it by giving the exact path.
Problem - We imported autoslug package in our project but it was showing an error that the package is not recognised.
Solution - we installed the autoslug package using the 'pip install autoslug' and it worked fine.
