The problem MediMent solves

The ongoing global pandemic has taught us that a country’s health infrastructure is not
something to be taken lightly. Every country needs a system to connect all the private and
public hospitals within it. This system must be locally developed as this data can not be
trusted in the hands of foreign countries.
In times of crisis, the government should not have to focus on logistical issues such as
hospitals reporting their bed capacity and resource capacity. There is a need for an integrated
system where every state government can see the bed capacity and resources of various
hospitals through a simple interface. This data should also be visible to the citizens so as to
not have a situation where they have to move from hospital to hospital, looking for empty
beds or ventilators.
There is a lot of disinformation and fake news about COVID-19 going around and it is
important that citizens are able to get correct information, from a reliable source so as to
enhance their awareness about the disease and how to slow the spread of it.
There is also a need for an efficient way to keep track of home quarantined patients and
ensure that the guidelines are being followed. It is also important that the concerned
authorities receive a timely update if the health of the patient deteriorates.
The recent months have also taught us about the importance of Telemedicine and Video
Consultations. Every country needs a platform where citizens can securely communicate with
verified doctors.
COVID-19 is not the first health crisis, and it will not be the last one. A system that connects
hospitals will be useful even after COVID-19 is gone. This is evident in the speech given by
our Honorable Prime Minister on Independence Day where he launched India’s National
Digital Health Mission.

Challenges we ran into

Pulse oxymeter stopped working. Components were drawing too much current we were required to buy separate power supply. We learnt a new technology Graphql and implementing it was quite tough.
