Inspiration
One of the team member's mother is a dietitian and she noticed that a lot of apps do not have this feature for the diabetic community.
What it does
This app allows you to choose a cultural dish or meal and allows the user to calculate the macro nutrients depending on the weight of the meal. This in turn will be used to help calculate the proper insulin dosage needed for the user.
How we built it
We built the project using Swift while leveraging AI tools to guide the team with information.
Challenges we ran into
The team had really high hopes and strived for more than we were able to produce. This caused a lot of frustration and issues throughout the project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we continuously pushed forward and built and application that is usable. Considering this is the team's first hackathon ever, we are really proud of the final product.
What we learned
We learned how to create an iOS app using Swift: a language none of us have ever used before. Although it was not implemented, the team learned a lot about backend programming and database systems.
What's next for EthnoMeal
We would like to implement more functions that bring people together through meals. We would also like to implement the backend structure of the project.
