The problem Seguro Medico solves

Seguro Medico provides immutable management and access to medical records and financial assistance to patients.
If observed carefully, it can quite clearly be seen that the major hurdle that prevents the patients to be in control of the complete insurance or donation amount is the long list of third parties as well as the central authorities in control. And that is exactly the two major issues that Seguro Medico effectively solves.
First of all, this is a decentralized application and therefore eradicates any control of central authorities over the medical funds or donation amounts. This ensures the utmost security from any tamper with medical data that might take place in traditional systems.
Secondly, Seguro Medico implements a smart contract. This contract not only operates independently but also keeps an immutable record of the participants withdrawing or donating funds while maintaining a control system that limits the accessibility of participants in the network from certain features. Thus, smart contracts in Seguro Medico ensures reliability and trust in the system since there is no chance of any mishaps with medical funds due to Human bias.
Finally, each and every transaction that takes place on this application, along with its timestamp, is stored with utmost safety on the Blockchain. Thus ensuring complete immutability of the data.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Integrating Portis Wallet.

  2. Connecting blockchain with react app.

  3. Making dynamic easy to use interfaces.

  4. Working in teams remotely.

  5. During the period of Hackathon, Portis wallet servers were facing severe downtime so we had to shift to metamask overnight.
