Inspiration

Health care systems around the globe are facing extreme burden due to Covid-19 Virus so the idea is to manage our key healthcare resources efficiently by distributing the resources to manage the load on the healthcare system. there were few cases in Pakistan which surfaced to mainstream media that people died due to unavailability of ventilators, oxygen tanks linkwhich grasp our attention to address this issue that if in future our healthcare system is burdened (covid or post covid pandemic), there should be a centralised system to manage health resources (ventilators, beds, ICU's etc) effectively by distributing the load and in case of emergency an individual or ambulance services know where to take the patient which require specific services

Problem

the main problems we try to address are ->Pakistan has scare amount of health resources and the condition is more critical in the rural areas which could be under immense pressure in this covid situation link this link shows the statistics for current health facilities ->Lack of centeralised platform which can demonstrate the health facilities available in hospitals in different cities

What it does

We built a web-based dashboard which shows the list of hospitals with the number of ventilators, isolation beds available, a patient can see the information where its required facilities are available, we have included limited functionality now we have restricted to covid-19 based resources and showing data of related to 1 city for now but our idea is highly scalable we could add more health resources eg; Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU),blood-groups, Vaccine availabilities etc and we could add more hospitals in more regions . We have also added products which a patient can require eg;masks,beds,ventilators etc and also added blood group information as covid patients also require plasma therapy so they can look where to find certain blood group, This could add sustanaibilty to our project in future as we can generate funds due to selling products and we could also run relevant health products advertisement for this cause .

How I built it

We built it using VScode editor using HTML, CSS, javascript and bootstrap library

Challenges I ran into

We faced the challenge to get realtime data from the hospital as there is no API's available to get it so we had to add the data from our dashboard

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are proud as a team that we could come with a solution to a real-world problem and it helped to broaden our vision to think for the solutions to the problem we are facing.

What I learned

It was a great learning experience as two of us were participating for the first time in a hackathon so it was great to explore and try to find an implementable solution to the civic problem and I am sure it would help us to solve more problems in future as well.

What's next for Healthex

Our idea is scalable so we can add more resources which are needed in a medical emergency and add more regions and hospital
