Project Name: Healthepetz.com
Project Team: Bryan Hernandez, Amir Izadpanah, Chuck Nefkens, and Joel Vanderhoof
Project Description:
Problem being addressed: Costs of pet medical care
Solution: A portal for pet owners that provides tools for them to better manage their pets medical costs and care.
Overview : Healthepetz.com is an application pet owners can use to track and manager their pets' medical data and gain access to information and solutions to help cost effectively optimize their pet's health. Core features for the initial release will include enabling owner's to create profiles for their pets and track their medical and vaccination history. Owners will be able to upload copies of medical bills and create electronic copies of their vet bills which will allow subscriber bill data to be aggregated for price comparison purposes. Pet vaccination history and due dates can be tracked so that reminder emails and text messages can be sent out to make sure owners stay up to date with their pet's vaccinations. Owners can give their vet access to their accounts to update medical history and vaccination info. There will be a vet locator feature to find local vets and a price comparison feature to enable owners to see how costs for specific procedures, lab tests and supplies compare against other subscribers located nearby. The application basic features are described in greater detail below. Aside from the basic features are optional features that will be included in the first release as time permits. Most likely, there won't be time for any additional features, but if there is, then the team will select optional items that can be completed before the project due date.
