Finding specialized healthcare facilities in Ghana can be difficult due to fragmented information. Users needed a reliable way to locate nearby clinics based on specific service needs.
My Role & Constraints
I developed the frontend interface and integrated mapping services to provide location-based results.
Approach & Process
Leveraged the Geolocation API to detect user position and filtered facility data by distance. Implemented a responsive map interface that works seamlessly on mobile devices.
Solutions / Decisions
Developed an intuitive search filter allowing users to sort by distance, service type, or facility name.
Outcomes / Learnings
The app processed over 2,000 location-based queries in its first month, validating the demand for accessible healthcare information.
Reflection / Implications
Working with maps taught me the importance of handling location permission states and optimizing marker rendering for performance.
