Our Features

Upon deliberating on the features we had decided that we would do were

to focus on overcrowding, panic and chaos false news and lack of awareness

To combat overcrowding we had the bookign and queuing system. This would allow users to stay home and book at a specific time , or book at a current time.

the medical logs and vitals information to speed up consultation times, reduce time spent and reduce the amount of overcrowding, and in turn panic and chaos. This would basically make use of IOT to record down vitals to reduce the time spent during a consultation with the doctor, with faster consultation times more people can be treated. The medical logs is sort of a user created journal that users can use to log their symptoms so that when visiting the doctor, they can easily scan a QR code and read the journals for more accurate diagnosis, also saving time.

medical news and nearby facilities were to let civillians know of the latest, real news and also all the nearby clinics that users can make use of. This would bascially spread awareness to users of all the clionics they can receive vaccines from and also of all the latest accurate news and updates on current diseases or the current pandemic.

Overall my assessment of the application would be that if I were to do the back-end on this, it would be very complicated to have the queueing system work and link to the user and also the clinic. Most likely there would be multiple lists, foreign keys used. The queues would have to be stored in the database and removed when completed.

This would mean that we would need a second user, doctor/medical personnel too. Which means theres an additional class to use.

For the medical logs it could also be just inserting strings into the database and extracting onto labels , my first thoughts on implementation.

As for medical news, we could allow the medical personnel to update news but that would mean a seperate UI might be needed. For the upcoming hackathon we could potentially forgo this to focus on the user side of the program.

Lastly, and most complicated would be nearby clinics. We had first thought of using a heatmap to make use of where the crowd is most concentrated , we had also thought of jsut using google maps to show the neaby clinics and the distance to them from the users current location. On first thought i realise that a user would need to input their postal code to use this feature and we also had to delve into google api, which seemed a daunting task.

About 1 week to go to the hackathon and I'm starting to fret at the large amount of work that has to be done.
