The problem STATCare solves
After our active ground research and software reviews we noticed that in advanced hospitals like AIIMS Trauma Center in Delhi, doctors face challenges due to limited access to real-time patient vitals and location across various departments. These include:
Long emergency delay times cause preventable harm and deaths.
Lack of real-time coordination and monitoring across departments.
By equipping patients with RFID tags storing unique IDs, we enable real-time location tracking as patients move between departments, improving communication and coordination.
Once the patient is discharged, their data is stored corresponding to their respective UHID. This can help in future medical treatments of the person as this data will be available to the hospitals.
In a long run such large dataset can be trained to automate the treatment process based on parameters such as medication, response to drugs etc.
Challenges we ran into
A major module of the project involves RFID tags to store and share information. Since we did not have the required physical devices with us, we decided to mimic the working of the RFID as per our requirements. We decided to implement the module using an Android app. We ran into problems like integrating our app with our backend systems which were on a different tech stack. We also had to make sure that every version of our app addressed the issues with the previous versions without changing the behaviour of the app drastically.
We got over these challenges by collaborating among ourselves and closely monitoring the effects of every change that we made in the app. After releasing 4 versions of our app, we finally were able to get the desired results. The app turned out to be seamless and perfectly met our needs.
