Doctor Helper

In India people are often denied medical care on time, so we bring forth a solution that has never been proposed before.

The problem Doctor Helper solves

Medical care is a top priority in today's world. Most of us are able to reach the doctors or medical support in time. But some are unfortunate enough that medical support in not able to reach them in time. Even within a span of 5 to 10 mins, we can save someone's life. The problem we want to address is to reach those people in time.
There may be a lot of doctors in your vicinity, but you might not know and not be able to reach them, so using a simple mobile application we would resolve this issue and notify the nearest doctor, to your aid.
This kind of problem has been addressed before but no solution came through, so we come forward bringing this conclusion.
To reach out to those who are in need, and help them out.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into various problems while doing this project, being relatively new in development and that too collaborating remotely,
GitHub as helpful as it was initially a challenge, Discord was also a huge help in communicating with our teammates.
The issue with this app was using firebase to retain the logged-in user.
The location API was troublesome too, but we weren't able to find a replacement so that functionality is lost forever.
Firebase Authentication and Firestore database rules were cumbersome to do at first, but with some googling, that was sorted too.
The major issue with this app right now is that we were not able to save users across widgets, so this app is not able to function as we wanted it to. However, we plan to update it in the near future, as we progress further into Flutter and Firebase development.
