Inspiration
As current wellness apps lack long-term user engagement, we have created HealthiNest which is a wellness app that solves this issue by introducing a more competitive perspective on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We hope that this app will increase the good healthy habits of its users.
What it does
HealthiNEST is an app that provides users with a modifiable everyday checklist needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This app features a progress bar that not only takes into account the checklist, but also the user's input on how many hours they slept and how healthy they ate that day. And because everyone's goal is different, the user can set their 'healthy targets' which affects how the progress bar fills up. The special aspect of this app comes from activities such as a two-minute breathing exercise and some simple timed exercises guide, as well as a streak system to encourage its users to maintain their habits.
How we built it
We built this app using Swift (through Xcode) to run on iOS and Firebase.
Challenges we ran into
As two out of 5 members did not own a MacBook and Swift does not work as well with Windows, we could only code on 3 laptops which slowed down our project progression.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
That we were able to accomplish a presentable design despite our very limited knowledge.
What we learned
As none of us had previous experience with Swift or Firebase, doing this Hackathon has given us the opportunity to learn Swift in an intensive and speedy manner as there is a final goal to achieve within the timeframe.
What's next for HealthiNest
Our next plan for HealthiNest is the ability for users to attach a picture of their checklist activity for other users to see and approve. A points rewards system would also be implemented with the goal of introducing healthy competition between friends.
