Inspiration
Hearing the horrific stories of pregnant women in prison inspired us to advocate for change. Their resilience ignited our passion to raise awareness and provide essential resources to ensure these women receive the care they deserve during this vulnerable time.
What it does
This project serves as a comprehensive platform aimed at supporting pregnant women in correctional facilities by addressing their unique nutritional and healthcare needs. It facilitates the collection of vital information regarding the dietary intake and health status of pregnant inmates. Correctional officers input specific data about meals consumed, as well as any vitamins or supplements taken, which will be analyzed to assess the nutritional health of the pregnant inmates. Based on this input, the system provides personalized nutritional feedback tailored to the specific needs of pregnant women, offering suggestions for dietary improvements to ensure that both mothers and their babies receive adequate nutrients.
How we built it
React + Open AI
Challenges we ran into
It was our first time using Open AI API so it was tricky
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of our accomplishment in creating a resource specifically for pregnant women in prison, a topic that is often overlooked. This initiative aims to provide essential information and support, raising awareness of the unique challenges these women face. Through this, we hope to contribute to discussions around their health and well-being during pregnancy.
What we learned
Throughout this project, we developed crucial skills in time management and effective task delegation. We learned to prioritize our responsibilities, ensuring that each team member could contribute meaningfully without feeling overwhelmed. To prevent miscommunication, we held small meetings throughout the night. We also expanded our technical skills, such as gaining experience in using React and other UI/UX tools.
What's next for Vizzi
There are several features we wish to incorporate into our project but were unable to due to time constraints. We plan to continue developing this project in the future. One key feature we aim to implement is a database system to track the dietary intake of each pregnant woman in prison. This would provide more accurate output and generate useful data for healthcare professionals to assess potential health complications. Additionally, we want to create a public user login feature. While specific information about individual inmates will remain confidential for privacy reasons, this feature will allow users to access aggregated data on the nutritional care conditions within each correctional facility. This transparency will help the public understand how women in critical situations are treated and advocate for better care and resources.
