Challenges we ran into
As we developed the personal pill identifier, we faced a few hurdles along the way:
-
Getting Accurate Pill Info: Making sure our database had all the right information about medications was tough. We solved this by checking multiple trusted sources and in the end used Kaggle dataset with best rating and some cleaning.
-
Making It Easy to Use: Designing an interface that's simple and easy for everyone to use was a challenge. We listened to feedback, tested different designs, and kept refining until it felt just right.
-
Keeping Your Info Safe: We knew how important it is to keep your personal info safe, especially when it comes to health. We used Github to store our user data to make the hosting possible for our MEDsarthi .
-
Making It Fast: Handling a lot of data while keeping things fast was tricky. We tweaked things behind the scenes, like how our servers work, to make sure everything runs smoothly and you get your results quickly.
-
Integrating with Sign-in and Sign-up: Making sure the pill identifier worked seamlessly with our sign-in and sign-up pages took some work. We took a step-by-step approach, tested everything thoroughly, and made sure it all fit together perfectly.
Despite these challenges, we're proud to say that we've built a personal pill identifier that's easy to use, keeps your information safe, and helps you manage your medications with confidence.
