By Maya Pavlova, Kira Wadden, Danielle Erb, Darshil Shah The repository stores the project code submitted for the McGill Hackathon hosted by MLH (Majour League Hacking) in 2019.

The goal of the project was to help guide the public to the closest available emergency care center and walk-in clinics based on real-time patient availability. The problem space focused on connecting the public to information such as patient availability in health care environments to allow for more informed decisions - such as best clinic to travel to and best times to go to a clinic - based on real-time statistics.

The project was demoed during the hackathon and won the Cisco Meraki Integrated Hardware Challenge.

The Cisco Meraki MV camera and Dashboard API was used to monitor the number of people present in a room at real time. The python script test_rest_api.py was used to interact with the Dashboard API and process the number of people in a room attribute. The max occupancy was hardcorded for demo purposes.

The simple, user web interface can be found at index.html. The interface requires the user to input their current location and whether they require an Emergency Room or a Walk-In Clinic using drop down menus. The Google GCP Map API was used for automatically loacting the address as a fill-in process.

We experimented with the Twillio messaging services for the project to use as an instant messaging service. However, this part of the project was not fully completed.
