"NactoCare: Where Compassion Meets Innovation, Redefining Nursing in India's Healthcare Revolution!"

The problem NactoCare solves

Despite the critical role nurses play in healthcare delivery, India faces a significant shortage of nursing professionals, with only 1.7 nurses per 1000 people, falling short of the World Health Organization's recommendation of 3 nurses per 1000 people. As highlighted by the prevalence of articles discussing better opportunities for Indian nurses abroad, there exists a pressing need to address the systemic challenges within the Indian healthcare system.

Nacto Care recognizes the urgency of this issue and aims to revolutionize the landscape of nursing in India. Our mission is to tackle the multifaceted problem of nurse scarcity while simultaneously enhancing the quality of care available to aging populations. By providing accessible home nursing services, we aim to empower nurses and enable them to deliver crucial healthcare services directly to those in need. In doing so, we not only alleviate the strain on the healthcare system but also create a sustainable stream of employment opportunities for aspiring nursing professionals.

Our initiative seeks to redefine the perception of nursing as a career choice, akin to the transformative impact that platforms like Zomato and Swiggy have had on the gig economy in India. By promoting social awareness and advocating for the recognition and value of nursing, we strive to inspire individuals to pursue nursing as a respected and fulfilling profession.

Join us in our mission to empower nurses and transform healthcare delivery in the world's largest democracy. Together, we can build a future where quality healthcare is accessible to all, and nurses are revered as the cornerstone of our healthcare system.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Integration of the google maps initially and then the using of the mapbox API to display the live location
  2. Using the prompt, which is the problem the user is facing (not probably in english, means maybe in the local language of the region as well), and then from the selected or categories available, selecting the best possible nurse for the same.
  3. Booking the session of the nurse with the user along with the proper payment to the nurse and delivery of service to the user.
  4. Creating the business model that works on the large scale, is scalable and implementable as well.
