Overview
CareConnectED streamlines emergency department workflows by allowing patients to check real-time ED load, register virtually, complete triage questionnaires, and receive notifications. Built with a multi-service Docker architecture featuring async task processing.
The Problem
Emergency departments face overcrowding and long wait times. Patients lack visibility into wait times and must complete registration and triage in person, leading to inefficiency.
The Solution
Developed a full-stack platform with Django backend for async processing (Celery + Redis), Vue frontend for patient interactions, and Dockerized deployment. Patients can check load, register online, complete triage, and receive notifications—reducing in-person congestion.
Key Features
