MedShare
Connecting Hospitals, Saving Lives
The problem MedShare solves
In medical emergencies timely access to healthcare resources is crucial. However, many patients face difficulties in finding nearby hospitals, pharmacheuticlas, especially in remote areas or duing critical situations where every second counts. The lack of a centralized platform to instantly connect patients with hospitals results in delays, which can sometimes be life-threatening.
Additionally, hospitals themselves often struggle with inefficient resource management, leading to shortages or misallocation of essential medical supplies, beds and equipment.
Solution -
MedShare bridges the gap between patients and hospitals during emergencies by providing real-time data on hospital availability, direct contact options, and navigation support. This ensures swift access to care, especially in remote or underserved areas. Additionally, the platform helps hospitals manage critical resources like ICU beds, oxygen, and medicines, allowing them to share and request supplies efficiently
By maintaining a real-time database of available resources, MedShare enables seamless collaboration among hospitals to prevent shortages and reduce wastage. This fosters a sense of community among healthcare providers and improves operational efficiency, ultimately ensuring that life-saving resources are allocated where they are needed most.
MedShare monetizes through a sustainable business model that includes charging a commission on resource-sharing transactions between hospitals, offering premium subscriptions for advanced analytics and priority support, and forming partnerships with medical suppliers and pharmaceutical companies. This approach ensures the platform’s long-term viability while continuing to provide essential services to both patients and healthcare facilities
Challenges we ran into
The database we were refusing stopped working midway due to it's freebies policy. We had to create another database after creating a new acccount. Our inital plan of action was shown it's flaws so we had to start over. The version of tech we were using was incompatible with some of the libraries we imported so we had to refactor our code.
