Inspiration

As women in this digital age, we are so fortunate to have so many tools that are built to help and empower women, especially with the help of our mobile devices. One of these tools are period trackers that combine menstrual cycle tracking as well as symptom prediction, and a lot of these period trackers were created mostly to be functional and aesthetic. However, there’s not a method implemented to ensure better accuracy regarding period start nor symptom prediction since everyday tracking is not exactly encouraged. Because of this, we thought to gamify and incentivize everyday tracking with our succulent gardening app – Bloom: Period Tracker. We were inspired by apps that combined functionality and aesthetics as well as being nurture and incentive based.

What it does

It is a period tracker app that incentivizes the user to return the the app to keep the succulents alive. In this way they can become better informed of their cycle and symptoms, while still having fun.

How we built it

We used figma and adobe illustrator.

Challenges we ran into

Learning how to use figma.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The design and functionality of the app.

What we learned

We learned how to collaborate and divide up the work in order to build an app prototype in 24 hours.

What's next for Bloom

We would like to expand it by making a web extension.
