"Important: Do not use any data about real people in this app as it could be a violation of HIPAA regulations
As a parent, it's hard to keep track of your child's immunization records!
Especially if you move states, or switch doctors.
It's a pain to call around and figure out which immunizations your child still needs,
or to have them mail you proof for things like school registration.
As an adult, it's even harder to access these records for travel that requires immunizations or booster shots.
This app allows medical professionals to upload immunization records to your personal or family account."
Proposal
-
What problem does your app solve? Create a central location to keep your child’s immunization records that the patient and doctor can access and update. The record exists independently from your doctor’s current records, so if you change providers you don’t lose your record.
-
Be as specific as possible; how does your app solve the problem?
-
Patients and doctors/providers each create an account on the app.
The patient gives their doctor permission to access & edit the immunization record for their child. The Doctor can add new immunizations to the record. If the patient moves or changes providers they can add a new doctor/provider and remove the old one.
-
What is the mission statement? Easy access to your child’s immunization records. Features

Research
-
Research thoroughly before writing a single line of code. Solidify the features of your app conceptually before implementation. Spend the first 2 days researching so you can hit the ground running on Friday. Prototype Key Feature(s)
-
This is the “bread and butter” of the app, this is what makes your app yours. Calculate how long it takes to implement these features and triple the time estimated. That way you’ll have plenty of time to finish. It is preferred to drop features and spend more time working on your MVP features if needed.
