About Vaccurate
Vaccurate is a web app that automatically distributes available vaccines in the area to people in need according to a weighted score. Users can login to Vaccurate and fill out a questionnaire about themselves and their medical history. Vaccurate will assign a score to that particular user, and the score can be used to assign the person to a clinic with the fastest wait time. Factors to determine someone's score include Occupation, Age, and Medical History.
My Involvement
I was responsible for coming up with the weights for the score calculation, performing the calculation in the backend on a Java based server, and deploying the server on Heroku. The server would pull information about a user from a Firebase database and perform the calculations, then update the database accordingly.
Achievements
Within the 24 hours, we were able to create a web form that grabs user input, a server deployed that runs calculations, and a notification system that uses Twilio to send test notifications about your status. We recieved an Honourable Mention for this project.
