MedZone-Always Caring. Always Here.

A “virtual pillbox” that sends users personalized reminders to take their medications as directed.

The problem MedZone-Always Caring. Always Here. 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 but together we overcame this. 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 all night. Handling this project with college classes was a test of our time management and required us to giveup our sleep schedule.
