Supporting the Fighters, Admiring the Survivors, Honouring the Taken

Warriors

We believe that the person fighting with Breast Cancer should not be referred to as a survivor or a patient. They are Warriors and in the documentation, we would call them rightly so.

Problem

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women that have more severe mental and emotional effects than other types of cancers (Ramezani, 2001; Saniah and Zainal, 2010; Sharif Nia et al., 2017).

Diagnosis of breast cancer is an extremely unpleasant and unbelievable experience for each person that can disrupt family life (Vedat et al., 2001). Meanwhile, fears and worries about the death and recurrence of the disease, mental impairment, financial concerns, and family problems lead to the emergence and increase of severity of psychiatric disorders such as depression (Kai-na et al., 2011; Shakeri et al., 2015; Dowlatabadi et al., 2016).

Solution

The problem becomes severe when the Warrior feels that they are the only one facing the problems and no one understands their fears and worries. A sense of community could bring joy and happiness to their lives. Warriors App aims just to do that. To be a one-stop place where the warriors can book their appointments with a doctor or a therapist, track their diets, share their stories or read other warriors’ stories, examine themselves, and get motivated by motivational quotes made just for them every day. Our app presents the following features:

1. SignUp

The user has to sign up to be able to use the Warriors app. The signup form comprises basic details of full name, email, and password.

2. Login

The login screen is the first screen after the splash screen. If the user has not signed up yet, she can click on the ‘Signup option’. The user can log in to the app by entering the email and password registered during the signup.

3. Home Screen

On the home screen, the user can find her name, email, and the buttons to visit her profile or to logout. In the area below, there are two cards, at the top and bottom, which display a motivational quote to keep the morale of the Warrior high. The battle with cancer is a tough one and one can start feeling low either during the battle or after it. So it's important to always keep our Warriors motivated. Hence, we came up with the idea of providing a daily dose of motivation through these quotes. In the between the cards, is the news feed, which would contain articles pertaining latest research in breast cancer or general breast cancer articles which would aid our Warriors in any way.

4. Profile Dashboard

The profile dashboard consists of basic details of the user, viz. Her name, her registered email id, her contact number, and some basic physical details comprising her weight, height, and blood type. The user can also see her scheduled appointments with the doctor or therapist as well, on the dashboard.

5. Share and Read Stories of other Warriors

In this section, Warriors can read other inspiring stories that are recommended to them on the basis of popularity and relativity. This could give them a sense of community and that there are other warriors just like them. They can click on any story to read them and like and comment on them. The warrior can share their own story, which will not only help others but also them. A safe corner where everyone can understand their fears and worries.

6. Health Dashboard

Warriors are confronted with a serious diagnosis that requires them to make important decisions throughout the journey of the disease. For these decisions to be made it is critical that the warriors be well informed. Previous studies have been consistent in their findings that they have a high need for nutrition and most of the time information is scarce. The App makes it a tad bit easier for them. It tracks their nutrition needs, calorie needs, hydration level, pulse rates, oxygen level, etc to provide them with the best care.

7. See breast cancer doctors/surgeons near them.

The users of the app can see a list of breast cancer doctors/surgeons with their basic details like name, address, phone number, and details.

8. See therapist near them

Depression is one of the major side effects of breast cancer which can be tougher to beat than breast cancer itself. So breast cancer patients might need professional help to deal with this. Hence, our app provides a list of therapists near them.

9. Examine themselves

The users can follow the image examination guide to check themselves for breast cancer indications.
