Care2U

INSPIRATION:

The very world we know and love is changing by the second due to the spread of COVID-19. Though we may think that this pandemic is bound to end soon, it is only the beginning. After witnessing pictures of exhausted medical staffs currently working day and night to fight this disease risking their lives, we started to set our complaints about social distancing aside, and started to focus on the issue at hand.

At the forefront of this pandemic, shortages of supplies have gotten so bad, that staff and support facilities have had to reuse supplies such as surgical masks, inducing severe health hazards. Seeing all this unfold before us we wanted to do something about the situation and that triggered the idea of Care2U.

WHAT IT DOES?

Care2U is a platform that allows the hospitals to register themselves and fill in the information regarding the supplies they have and the things they require. The public, which includes communities and organizations, can see the current resources and demands of hospitals of the particular area where they wish to donate. Using this system, people and organizations with extra supplies can find the right centers to donate to and assist the community from within the site. Upon receiving donation, the inventory of the hospital update accordingly.

To ensure the users are up-to-date with recent updates, they can view the COVID-19 status of Bangladesh from Home page.

HOW WE BUILT IT?

To build a responsive beautiful UI we used Bootstrap. For the graphs part we used ChartJS which is a robust open-source JavaScript library for data visualization. The datas are coming from a popular API among the developers called 'Novel COVID-19 API'. We integrated Google's Firebase, which offers varieties of back end support like hosting cloud functions, database etc. The back end side of our project is built with Firebase authentication, real-time database and hosting. We used jQuery for DOM-event handling and manipulation.

WHAT’S NEXT?

We will continue adding the database of National ID and public hospitals through government approval. We are looking forward to expanding our reach to the whole country. Finally, we also wish to attract foreign nations if they want to provide any general aid to the government.
