The problem Miraki solves

As the world shuts down in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the difficulties faced by pregnant women have increased manifolds. The main challenges are posed during the first trimester and the third trimester when the patient must undergo diagnostic tests, scans and investigations every week or so in order to confirm the pregnancy and check for abnormalities, bleeding, chances of abortions or miscarriages. During these times, expecting mothersconstantly fear contraction of COVID-19 through hospital visits, hence the need for a platform that allows them to indicate a possible pregnancy, continuously monitor their symptoms and send warnings in case of any abnormalities, and toreview their diet and exercise plans. The unfortunate demise of many mothers due to COVID-19 has led to an increasing demand for breast-milk for young children. Due to the stigma involved and the sensitivity of the issue, it is difficult for the existing infrastructure of milk banks to fulfil the requirements. Human milk banks saw increased demand and decreased donations, due to reasons ranging from lockdowns to some women’s fears of leaving their houses to donate.Evidence increasingly shows that providing donor breast milk to premature,vulnerable, or low birth weight infants who cannot access their mothers’ milkleads to better outcomes compared with formula. There was thus the need for aplatform where requests can be made to the right audience who would be able to fulfil these needs.

Challenges we ran into

The challenges faced were mostly due to login and authentication page which we were not able to implement. Another problem we faced was how to use google maps api, hence we tried to use Iframe to emded the map on our page. Implementation and location generation based on pincode is yet to be implemented
