Inspiration
In December, one of our teammates witnessed a motorcycle drunk driving crash. The two men on the motorcycle fell off and the glass shards from the beers they were drinking pierced them everywhere. People began surrounding them and an ambulance was called. For an hour and a half they laid on the floor bleeding and barely breathing while a crowd just stared. This is because in second world countries it is beloved that if you try to help someone and they die you are liable, and no one nearby knew how to help.
What it does
Our application lets you send an SOS and non emergency-medical distress signal to nearby people with certifications to help. It's primary intent is to help people who don't live nearby a hospital.
How we built it
Application server was build on Amazon AWS EC2 that would communicate to a MongoDB Atlas Cloud Server. Our application server would act as an API between Google Geo Coding and NoSQL Database and would serve back data to the client.
Challenges we ran into
Introduction of new technology, debugging and integrating all systems to work together.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Visual Design on our front end client. Back-end API calls successfully returns back nearest emergency contact.
