Assay

Inspiration

I care about my health very much, and I would love to understand how healthy is a city or country I'm travelling to beforehand and therefore I was inspired to develop Assay.

What it does

Its an android app, which is straight to the point, where its slogan say; checkout health in city or country. Using assay you can find how healthy specific city or country in the world by giving you the percentage of people whom live there and suffer from contagious diseases, which is what we care about the most, i.e. if there is anything would affect us.

How I built it

I used OpenData Api, which provides me with up to date statistics of cities and countries health.

Challenges I ran into

I had severe headache and got lost in the subway, where I ended up in the hackathon venue very late and missed all of the introductory stuff, since I'm from the UK and its my first time to be in USA, I started hacking almost half way to the deadline.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

With the severe headache and exhausted body of mine, managed to pull app working with decent logo.
