CareHero

Grow Healthy with your Hero

Comment 3

Inspiration

Movies like Big Hero 6 spawned the idea of having robotic personal health buddies who take interest in your health, but finding problem statements like the one by Children'sHealth reinforced the necessity of having healthcare companions, especially in the pediatrics where the patients are barely old enough to understand and follow prescription.

What it does

CareHero is an Augmented Reality based mobile application that brings to life your child's favourite characters and makes them their personal health buddy. CareHero ensures that your child has their hero beside them at every step of the recovery/treatment. From exercising together to making sure your child eats medicines and healthy food on time, their CareHero makes the journey to better health fun, empathetic and sociable.

Your child's prescription is now Gamified!

How we built it

CareHero is an android app built using Unity to create an Augmented Reality that is a kids friendly and organic way to follow the doctor's advice. The application features characters and games that make use of AR to achieve health goals. The most crucial component of building this project is the designing of an experience that the patient is guaranteed to enjoy and embrace. The games featured in the app are designed based on the age groups of the users

Challenges we ran into

Building a full fledged AR application with Unity in a hackathon is a feat we all aspire to achieve, but we overcame the challenges posed by the limitation in time by bringing to you the visual and design aspects of our application using Lens Studio and Spark AR Studio.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of building a solution that can potentially impact the lives of children and contribute to the health of the next generation.

What we learned

Being new to the domain of Augmented Reality our team was quick on their feet to find ways and tools to create a solution. Learning the various aspects of target tracking and spatial mapping was an enriching experience.

What's next for CareHero

Track if the child is doing the exercises correctly using body tracking in AR Introduce IoT with AR to automate the process of opening the medicine box by using Arduino and Unity.
