Shortage of doctors during pandemic and the unfair Urban-Rural Healthcare Divide
Rural and Remote residents encounter barriers to healthcare that restrain their ability to get the medical services they need. The problem of handling and keeping a note and regular monitoring is serious in India. Also, it has been continuously observed in no. of surveys that the nurses and doctors in India suffer through burnout due to heavy workload and hectic schedule, which is a matter of concern. The records of patients are not well-maintained on either grounds and hence seems to be a greater problem in the picture.
Also, in the current synopsis, extremely transmittable diseases like COVID-19 have forced people to avail of home hospitalization and treatment and, that's why treating everyone in need of continuous monitoring and regular checkup is difficult.
The major challenge for us was to coordinate and distribute the work among us. Due to covid scenario, all three of us are living in three different cities and it was difficult to synchronise our schedules and work together to build something. Hence, we decided to divide the work among us in such a way that there will be no overlap between the section of code that we were working upon. We assigned Aman to take care of the IoT system and Neeraj to work on the web portal. Shruti was coordinating us and was also working on the android application. Due to this, we saved a lot of time and were able to deliver stuff on time.
