The problem HealthBase solves

HealthBase addresses the fragmented nature of healthcare records, providing a unified platform where individuals can securely store, access, and share their medical history. It simplifies the management of health information, making it easier for patients to receive accurate diagnoses and for healthcare providers to deliver timely and personalized care. This system ensures that critical health data is always available when needed, reducing the risk of medical errors and improving overall healthcare outcomes.

Challenges we ran into

One of the major challenges in developing HealthBase was ensuring data security and privacy. Given the sensitive nature of healthcare information, we had to implement robust encryption and authentication mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access. Integrating with various healthcare providers' systems, each with its own data formats and standards, was another significant hurdle. To overcome these, we designed a flexible API that could accommodate different data structures and implemented industry-standard encryption protocols to safeguard user data.
