Healthcare Hacker Challenge #1
Child Immunization Schedule for Web
Are you looking to learn Django? This challenge is good for people who want to learn Django, it is more procedural work instead of creative work, but will get you thinking about web development. If you are coming in to do a drchrono Django Healthcare Hackathon, this one is great to show off the last day of the hackathon when we do a code review. You can show your thinking, how you built your app, how fast you learned Django and how you leveraged our healthcare Restful API.
- Creative Tim’s Get Shit Done – CSS built off of BootStrapped
- DigitalOcean – Super cheap servers, like $5 dollars per month cheap
- IconFinder – Free Icons
- Charts.js – Cool charting
Generally medical doctors who see children, Pediatricians have a child immunization schedule or chart, on paper or software. The goal of your project is to build out a working immunization schedule for a doctor account leveraging the drchrono API. Be sure to signup for a free drchrono account here then request access to the API here. We would just need your username to turn on the API.
Once you complete the project you can email me a link to it working or shoot a screencast and post it on youtube. I would love to see it! You can find me at daniel[@]drchrono[dot]com.
Two Hard Challenges To Think About
1. If you can think about how to administer in combinations that is a bonus!
Things get even more interesting when you administer immunizations with combinations. This is an example from eziz.org –
2. Doctors are always looking for the best way to administer shots, sometimes what is above doesn’t work. e.g.: say a baby doesn’t come into the doctor for the first two years of life to get immunizations, the above charts won’t work.
“Adults are just obsolete children.” ~Dr. Seuss
… if you finish the first part, there are also adult immunizations! More here on adult immunization schedules.
