Inspiration

We were inspired by the recently appeared fake or low quality medical equipment and the negative consequences they could have on the spread of the virus. We have seen the opportunity to utilise blockchain as one of the key drivers of bringing transparency to medical supply chains and the significance of securing thereof. Bringing transparency to medical equipment is not just an option but is an absolute necessity, since people’s lives are at stake.

What it does

We have built an easy-to-use app, which firstly generates unique QR code for the particular item on the manufacturer’s level, links that item to a batch, writes this hash into the Eos blockchain. Once the hospital/end customers receives the item, he/she can easily scan this QR code and verify the entire history of the item’s movement and each important milestone(including GPS stamps).

How I built it

Our teams has worked on various blockchain based solutions in the past and when we have noticed the EOSIO Virtual Hackathon, we have realised that it was the perfect opportunity to turn our idea into reality. First we have planned the rough idea in lean canvas, questioned possible issues and challenged each others point of view. This was followed by drafting up the entire services flow, exploring each individual step in terms of design and implementation.

Challenges I ran into

Since we are a decentralised team scheduling of regular meetings has sometimes been a challenge, but we have managed to overcome this. Building a project on multiple interrilated parallel tracks can be a complex but with the right communication tools and attitude it becomes manageable. The use of Slack and Miro have helped a lot to bring all ideas and processes together.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are extremely proud of what we have built. It took us plenty of time and effort to reach this point, but we are very happy with how the product feels and functions.

What I learned

We have learned that harmonising the design and building stages is quite hard and that you need a cohesive vision, which also looks at compatibility 2-3 steps down the line. The Eos blockchain is well suited to build blockchain based solutions, with well documented tools and user friendly environment.

What's next for Auream

We await for the verdict of the jury and would like to develop the project further to the commercial stage. We are also looking for investors and strategic partners for the next steps.
