Inspiration

I immediately thought of my grandma when I heard about the prompt and the impact of people and physical activity on her life. She used to suffer from many chronic ailments; however, after my grandpa and the rest of her community began to engage in physical activity in groups, her overall health situation began to improve - this did a better job than any drug did. Education about fitness and partaking in it a community helped my grandma improve her health.

What it does

AgeWell registers users and maintains an active database of them. Then, once a user has logged in,

How I built it

I built it with the Flutter and Dart Framework.

Challenges I ran into

AgeWell was originally meant to be an educational app which allowed fellow senior citizens to share workout plans and communicate on the platform to encourage communal physical activity, but the system proved to be to complex and difficult to effectively implement in such a short space of time. Thus, I had to pivot to an educational app that promotes partaking in physical fitness by revealing the reality of ailments like hypertension in a nice user interface.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of learning a significant amount of flutter, dart, and firebase authentication within the span of this hackathon. I am proud of my health ailments page

What I learned
