The problem MedZone solves

  • Problem 1 -
    Most of the patients frequently have difficulty in remembering or managing multiple medications .Many a times they forget medicine name and how they look like, especially for elders. Medication non-adherence leads to 125,000 preventable deaths each year, and about $300 billion in avoidable healthcare costs.

  • Problem 2 -
    We all have multiple folders in back of our closets full of medical records, prescriptions , test reports etc. which lets all agree are a hassle to carry everytime a doctor asks for our medical history .

  • Problem 3 -
    In times of emergency every minute counts and in that minute finding contacts of our caregivers, nearby hospitals, pharmacies and doctors is extremely difficult.

Challenges we ran into

  • CRUD operations in firebase took a lot more of our time than expected.
  • Pushing image notifications was another obstacle but with constant hardwork and support we finally completed it .
  • With the help of our mentors and youtube research we worked in every aspect and handling this project with college classes was a test of our time management skills but that's totally worth it at end.
