Patients waste hours visiting ERs without knowing current wait times. Hospitals lack a unified system to share real-time capacity, so some facilities overcrowd while nearby centers stay underused.
Approach
I built a full-stack app where healthcare facilities manage their own data, and patients see a location-based ranked list of nearby centers sorted by average wait time. The waitlist updates dynamically as patients pick a center, with a separate dashboard for patient history.
Tools used
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Frontend | React, Material UI, JavaScript |
| Backend | Node.js, Express.js |
| Data | PostgreSQL |
Results
The prototype dynamically re-ranks hospitals by wait time, gives patients real-time decision support, and gives administrators a clear patient history dashboard.
Screenshots
Screenshots were re-cropped to drop the macOS dock / browser chrome strip at the bottom so the UI reads clearly in the portfolio.
