Overview

HRR (Healthcare Realtime Rating) is a comprehensive facility rating and search platform developed to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers. It empowers patients to discover nearby hospitals or clinics via an interactive Google Map and submit verified, real-time reviews. For healthcare facilities, the platform acts as a reputation management system, offering live analytics, patient feedback trends, and subscription-based dashboards to monitor and improve service quality.

Key Features

Geofenced Rating Validation Uses browser geolocation and Google Maps API integration to enforce a strict 500-meter radius check-in, ensuring that only patients physically present at a facility can submit a rating. Real-time Analytics Dashboard Provides hospitals and clinics with a live dashboard powered by Firebase Firestore, aggregating patient ratings, reviews, and visit statistics instantly. Role-based Access & Subscription Management Separates Patient (search and rating flow) and Facility (dashboard) interfaces, seamlessly integrating PayPal for subscription management so healthcare providers can access premium analytics.

Technical Challenges

Real-time Geolocation & State Synchronization The primary technical challenge was implementing strict Geofenced Rating Validation to prevent fraudulent reviews without degrading the user experience. This required combining browser Geolocation (navigator.geolocation) with Google Places API data to calculate accurate Haversine distances in real-time. The challenge was resolved by developing custom React hooks to handle background GPS proximity checks, caching valid check-in sessions for 24 hours in Firebase to minimize redundant location prompts, and seamlessly syncing live ratings across all active clients without performance bottlenecks.
