Meds To Go, a simple way to order and keep track of your prescription medications from the comfort of your own home!

Inspiration

There are so many delivery apps on the market like UberEats, SkipTheDishes, and DoorDash, but none of these apps deliver medications. Pharmacies don’t have a singular platform where patients can keep track of their medication in an efficient way. Instead of calling the pharmacy or waiting for the pharmacy to call you, an individual can bridge that gap with our website MedsToGo.tech.

What it does

Meds To Go is a website that allows users to order their prescription medication conveniently from the comfort of their own homes. The user simply has to upload their prescription, choose their pharmacy, and choose if they want pickup or delivery. They also have the option to easily order and request refills. The website keeps track of all of the user's medication information such as past orders, current orders, total cost of medication, and active medications. Our website allows the customer to securely login to their own profile, enter their delivery address, doctor information, health card information, insurance information, and their preferred pharmacy. There are also notification settings to inform the user when their order has been approved by the pharmacy, when their order will be delivered, and also if they need a refill soon.

How we built it

We started by designing the frontend of our project using Bootstrap. Once creating the main draft of our design, we connected the elements using React. For the backend we used node.js, express.js, and mongodb.

Challenges we ran into

One challenge we faced was transporting our design from Bootstrap to React. It was challenging to understand particular react functionalities like implementing a navigation bar on our own when it was already done on Bootstrap.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of creating this project as a whole because at the start of the hackathon, most of our team members had very minimal knowledge of these languages and tools.
