The problem Vitalis solves

1.⁠ ⁠Current healthcare systems are centralized and are vulnerable to cyberattacks, data breaches, and outages. Our platform ensures that data is stored in a decentralized and secure manner, reducing the risk of tampering.
2.⁠ ⁠In most systems patient data is controlled by third parties and organizations, limiting patient ownership and control over their medical records. Our platform allows patients to have control over their data
3.⁠ ⁠It is challenging to verify the authenticity of doctors. Doctors' profiles and verification cards are stored on the blockchain, providing transparency and trustworthiness.
4.⁠ ⁠Current booking appointments in traditional healthcare systems are prone to delays, manual errors, miscommunication. Smart Contracts automate the system of appointing doctors having fair interaction between doctors and patients.
5.⁠ ⁠Medical records are prone to loss, duplication, or alteration in conventional systems. Diagnoses and patient data stored on the blockchain are immutable, ensuring an accurate, tamper-proof record that both doctors and patients can access.
6.⁠ ⁠The decentralized nature of blockchain ensures full transparency in appointments, diagnoses, and data access, fostering trust between stakeholders.

Challenges we ran into

Hydrations errors while using external component libraries for frontend of our application. We had to debugg every single line of code to fix errors.
Integration of client side with the blockchain and interaction of smart contracts. Just went through web3js docs.
Exposing IPFS protocol to store data. We solved it by using reverse proxy
Writing smart contracts and enabling contract-contract interaction.
