TextRx 💊

Inspiration

Embarking on the healthcare track at NWHacks 2024, our team was fueled by a genuine passion for enhancing prescription usability. Many of us have faced the challenges of managing prescriptions, inspiring us to create a solution that keeps patients on track.

What it does

Our web app takes your healthcare journey seriously. Seamlessly upload, view, and receive medical reminders – fostering confidence and control in your health management. See our video demo! https://youtu.be/Z2Ze36Uzd4Q

How we built it

  • Front-end with HTML/CSS
  • Back-end with Node.js and Express.js
  • Database using MongoDB Atlas and hosted on Heroku

Challenges we ran into

  • Tackled integration issues between front-end and back-end
  • Navigated IP routing complexities for server hosting
  • Implemented text notifications based on parsed prescription data

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Developed text notification reminders for medication intake
  • Successfully parsed prescription labels, extracting drug details with precision

What we learned

  • Leveraged 1Password Passage manager for secure authentication
  • Mastered image processing and text recognition techniques
  • Explored cloud service hosting (Heroku) for web applications
  • Delved into REST API design
  • Crafted robust schemas for MongoDB Atlas
  • Enhanced project management skills with GitHub's KanBan project boards and issues

What's next for TextRx

We would love to...

  • Introduce a chat feature, connecting patients with medical professionals
  • Develop a dedicated Android/iOS app for a comprehensive healthcare experience
  • Fine-tune the prescription parsing engine's detection
