The Challenge
A database management system (DBMS) is designed to store and retrieve data efficiently for organizations. During the pandemic, my group and I created a database project to improve Canada's vaccine rollout, which had been criticized for being slow. The database connected different parties involved in the vaccination process, including labs with vaccines and testing kits, to increase efficiency. The challenge was to balance the sharing of information without compromising personal privacy. The project aimed to include all entities involved in the system while ensuring that no one had excessive power.
