From October 27th to 30th, I participated in the 🏆 Grand Nordic Health Hackathon, a rapid prototyping and innovation event where digital solutions are created to improve the health and quality of life of everyday people. I teamed up with a 👨💻 Senior Software Developer, Indrit Kello, and we developed a clinical decision support tool called "Symptogram" 🔍.
Symptogram helps family doctors by keeping track of user symptoms and providing an intelligent report prior to the online consultation, saving them time. Before the hackathon began, we attended a pre-hack informational webinar where we were introduced to the case, judges, and expectations. We also had a mentor assigned to help us with our idea and answer any questions we had 👨🏫.
To ensure we made the most of our time, we had already brainstormed and created a set of wireframes before the event. During the hackathon, we set up a 🏕️ bootcamp to minimize communication back and forth, allowing us to work more efficiently. Using technologies like Expo, React Native, and Firebase, we created the application from concept to business model to MVP. We designed the UI/UX elements with Adobe XD and Illustrator.
We delivered a 3-minute 📹 video pitch showcasing Symptogram and a one-pager with all the necessary information about the solution 📃. Our hard work paid off, and we were awarded second place in the hackathon 🥈. This event was a great opportunity to see how much can be developed in a short amount of time, and we're happy with the outcome of our solution.
Special thanks to those who supported us, especially Nettmaker 👏, which allowed me to be a part of this event. If you're interested in learning more about Symptogram, you can check out our project and GitHub page.
