The problem MediCheck solves

In this pandemic era, health and medicines are an important part of our lives.
However, it is unfortunate to know that around 25% of medicines in supply in India are fake, counterfeit or substandard and this trend of fake medicines is continuously increasing.
In 2009, The Central Drug Standards Control Organisation (CDSCO) announced that out of 24,000 samples collected from all over India only 0.046% were fake.
However, in 2017 a similar survey found 3.16% of the medicines sampled were substandard and 0.0245% were fake.
So we see that even though we spend thousands of rupees on medicine, there is no way to make sure that medicine we intake is authentic.

Challenges we ran into

We developed a Progressive Web Application(PWA) with high caching using React Framework with the Hooks interface. In this, we implemented a QR code scanner, but the main problem we encountered was that it was always refreshing after each scan. So we took a step forward and implemented a single-shot capture.

Another problem we faced was how to link the solidity program of the blockchain to the front-end and the back-end of the project, which we solved using web3 python library.
