India doesn't have a centralised database system for medical records of individuals residing in the country. People have to rely on stacks of files for keeping record of their medical history.As a sector that strives to establish a healthy world, digitalization or the paperless operations system in healthcare industry is a necessity than a need. Currently, there is very less transperency or flow of information between chemists & doctors which results in discrepencies and misuse of drugs, and eventually leads to various malpractices. Using the centralised database, this problem can be tackled by making the prescription digital and link to the patient's unique ID and later connecting all of this with the Aadhar Card for Biometric Authentication. Healthcare biometrics allow users to access applications and patient data quickly - clinicians simply touch a fingerprint scanner and get instant access to the records they need on any workstation and this can help during emergencies/which require instant treatments.In healthcare, self-care is any necessary human regulatory function which is under individual control, deliberate and self-initiated. We keep the patients profile up to date for ease . Appointments and Prescription data is updated as per the visits.
Our primary focus would be the civil/government hospitals because they have a potential target audience that need this system primarily.
We didn't know anything about the integration of Firebase with Web before this Electrothon 4.0 but thanks to it, we somehow managed to learn and implement all of it according to the requirement in such a short span of time. Other than this, privacy was a really major challenge for us. So, we used Firebase Authentication for users and Firebase realtime database for storing other details for testing purpose and later on planning to use the concept of blockchain or a secure and efficient database for this. Lastly, why would hospitals/chemists/patients use our web application when talking about private ones ! We would be giving all of them various perks for using our services, like giving the hospitals rating on platforms like Maps, or other similar platforms and moreover providing them the services for free initially in order to give them a better idea of what we actually offer.
