Inspiration
As someone with ADHD, I often forget my meds and I know how severely that can affect me... This is worse. If something I make can help others, there would be no greater joy, and this was something I thought I could make a difference in.
What it does
Our Monarch Miracle app keeps Lupus users engaged with taking medication regularly and on time by making the process enjoyable through collectable sprites, mini-games, and more.
How we built it
A prototype mobile app and website along with two powerpoints and various mockups detailing the plan.
Challenges we ran into
Creating a full scale mobile app in the time limit was something that we had no way of doing at our current level, so we had to break it down and figure out what we could do and how we could explain our ideas for the parts we couldn't. With people working on mobile app development, website design, graphics, and planning all of the details, it was definitely a race against time and a friend by your side as you work makes it definitely easier.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It is all of our first times at a Hackathon and I believe we achieved a lot, but more importantly, we learned a lot. A mobile app is no easy task, especially when you've never used the language before. I am incredibly proud of our team and all we have done.
What we learned
I personally have learned a lot about mobile and web app development as well as the intricacies of working on a team rather than by yourself. It saves a ton of time and everyone brings something new to the table, but proper communication is a must.
What's next for Monarch Miracle
What we have accomplished today is merely a prototype. A fully functioning app would have completely rehauled graphics, as well as various AR/VR environments and sprites (which frankly, I'm really excited for).
