A very important aspect of life to overcome is the limiting thought that healthcare have their vested interests in organ donation. We built an Interface for organ donating banks and patients.

The problem Ikshana+ solves

  1. Organ donation is an opportunity to help others. People who are on an organ waiting list typically have end-stage organ disease that significantly impacts their quality of life and may be near the end of their life. Receiving an organ can become a life-changing event for these people. It can also help a family work through the grieving process and deal with their loss by knowing their loved one is helping save the lives of others.

  2. The organ waiting list is always long. Every day, there are approximately 107,000 people on the waiting list nationally for an organ.

  3. People are dying while waiting for an organ. Each day 17 people in the United States die waiting for a transplant.

  4. One organ donor can help multiple people. One organ donor has the potential to save eight lives.

  5. Living donors fill a crucial need. A living donor can donate a kidney or a portion of their liver to a friend or family member or even altruistically and continue to live a normal life with very little restrictions. People waiting for a kidney transplant make up more than 80 percent of people on the organ waiting list and people waiting for a liver transplant makeup approximately 12 percent.

  6. Organ donation can be a rewarding and positive experience. It can help a family work through the grieving process and deal with their loss by knowing their loved one is helping save the lives of others.

  7. There are no age exclusions to donate. If you are otherwise healthy, many of your organs could still be viable for an organ donation. The transplant surgeon evaluates the organs and decides whether they are suitable on a case-by-case basis.

  8. Very few medical conditions disqualify you from donating your organs

Challenges we ran into

  1. It was a great experience working in Hackverse. though we faced various challenges such as integrating the backend REST API with frontend React App
  2. Making user authentication and session management with express-session
  3. Cloud Deployment using MongoDB Atlas
  4. Figuring out the complexity of States in React.
    5.Writing a Schema for MongoDB Database.
  5. Routing the server for API calls.
    Hackverse 4.0 provided an experience to work in a team with a short deadline, which made us code under pressure as a Cool Developer.
