Inspiration
My aunt is a nurse and she was explaining to me how bad the software is that her hospital uses, so I had the idea to not only help my aunt, by hopefully nurses and doctors around the world.
What it does
One Med uses local storage to store all the information for patients, doctors, nurses, and administrators. When a nurse or doctor logs in to One Med, it will immediately display their next patient along with all relevant info, and a place to enter information such as vitals. Whenever a change is made it is automatically updated in the local storage.
How we built it
It was built using Java and local text files as storage. While Java is not the most effective method to make something like this, I wanted more practice with the language.
Challenges we ran into
It took me a while to get Java swing components like JFrames, JButtons, etc working how I wanted them to work. Java is certainly not the best for UI.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I'm proud that I got some sort of app finished! I didn't think I would be able to finish anything with the time that was given and the complexity of the problem.
What we learned
I learned that it is very hard to make full-fledged medical software in under 36 hours and I also learned how frustrating Java can be.
What's next for One Med
While unfortunately due to time constraints I was not able to make One Med nearly as good as I wanted it to be, I want to continue working on it so that it can reach it's true potential! Eventually the dream would be to have it used by hospitals so that it can work to make the world a better place.
