Inspiration

My neighbour's grandfather had Alzheimer’s and frequently he would get lost and everyone had a tough time looking for him and bringing him back.They would generally find him if he goes somewhere local but finding him was nearly impossible if he walked off too far. So we wanted to find a way to keep our neigbour's grandfather safe by building something which can be helpful for all the patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

What it does

The proposed solution works hen the user to has a smart-watch that would be connected to the care-taker’s app. The watch continuously sends data such as HeartRate, Step Count, ECG and location to the caretaker’s application. We made this versatile so the user can have any kind of smartwatch starting from Apple Watch to Fastrack and the proposed application will be able to extract data from any of the Apple watch. The application mainly focuses on the parameters of heart rate and location. If any unusual reading is observed the caretaker will be notified with a push notification on his mobile phone. The application also gives emphasis on the user’s current location as most of the people suffering from Alzheimer’s frequently get lost in the crowd. In this way, the application answers the most important two issues of Heart risk and poor navigation skills by making use of the heart rate and location parameters offered by Smartwatch and iCloud

How we built it

We used Swift UI and Firebase for the front end and back end respectively

Challenges we ran into

We did not notice the time restrictions on the demo video so we made a video longer than necessary and then when we noticed it we had to work on it again Getting the data from the watch and transferring it to firebase was a bit difficult and new for us Connecting the front-end to the back-end was a bit hard as we ran it a lot of errors and we spent a lot of time finding them Integrating all the components into one single product was a bit challenging as we are not very fluent with Swift UI
