ChronicCare

Inspiration

We noticed how apps that track chronic illnesses and symptoms may be difficult for people with various types of chronic illnesses to access and use, thus creating a self-contradicting app. As a result, we designed an app with a user interface that is more friendly for people with physical and mental disabilities to use as its easy navigation and readability allows users to log their health symptoms and data in a more streamlined way.

What it does

Simple app for users (targeted towards those with chronic pain/illness, but can be used by anyone) to log symptoms, send data to their physicians, track trends, and help analyze results of any ongoing treatments Private, secure, and easy to use interface

How we built it

We used Django and Django REST to service the backend and React Expo to service the front-end. We used Figma to design the UI/UX components of the app.

Challenges we ran into

After a slight learning curve, we were able to efficiently and successfully realize our ideas in Figma, but we were challenged with merging back-end logic with front-end design.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our UI design and applying understandable and readable logic to the different features in order to make a user-friendly app

What we learned

We spent time researching accessibility features and were able to understand the reason behind their use.

What's next for ChronicCare

Next, we would like to incorporate the UI design with the back-end logic and implement more personable health features for the user in order to enhance their experience. Additionally, as AI becomes more prevalent in healthcare, we would like to find a way to implement it into our app.
