Inspiration

From personal experiences with ourselves and our friends with prescribed medication, we noticed that many used attention-drawing methods such as alarms with the name of the task on their phones. We wanted to give a level of privacy by providing a unique way of reminding the user to do their tasks by sending an email or text from "mum" (manage your medication (and more))". Wanting to help specifically the neuro-divergent community, people struggling with memory recall, or those who just want a nice reassurance to themselves, we wanted to help taking medication easier and more reliable.

What it does

Allows users to send "code messages" to themselves to remind them to take their medication or to do tasks through Email and SMS messages.
Gives a level of privacy to users who use alarms for their reminders to prevent unwanted attention
Allows users to take photos of the tasks they did, gives assurance to them if they forgot to do a task.

How we built it

We used a Python API with Flask for the backend, a PostgresSQL Database to store user data, while the back, front, and database are containerized with Docker.

Challenges we ran into

We had CORS errors with accessing the database in the Docker container, preventing us from making any other functionality
Our React Native was not compatible/ideal with our Docker container so we had to switch to Next.js in the late hours of the hackathon
- Some of our members had to leave for long periods of time due to scheduling conflicts

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Despite having to switch the frontend from React Native to Next.js in the late hours of the hackathon, we were still able to implement a functional UI
We built a Docker Container

What we learned

We gained knowledge on how to discuss issues with one another and account for potential mistakes. We were all able to work together to build something new because each member of our group held a different position.
