Problem & Context

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.
