Inspiration
Before this project started, I had wanted to make a calory tracker because I enjoy fitness. When the hackathon started, I realized that I could make something very similar to this but instead it would be for medical patients instead of fitness enthusiasts.
What it does
It assigns a medical patient with a meal options, and tracks their nutrition.
How we built it
We used android studio to build the front end mobile interface, rsa to encrypt patient data, tkcalendar for the desktop calendar widget, and python+SQLLite3 for the server.
Challenges we ran into
- Getting the python server to interact with the kotlin mobile app.
- Getting different sections that different people worked on to work together.
- Debugging when the app just crashes
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Having a working server, and app
What we learned
- We learned how to use github, kotlin (our first time), android studio (our first time), and how to reply to http requests.
What's next for Food Companion
- Fix a bug where to app occasionally crashes when you log in (this is probably because the server is in Python and the app is in Kotlin. We would have to rewrite a lot of stuff to fix this bug because the app is sending things too quickly).
- Flesh out the PC app
- Update the mobile app UI
- A feature where patients can communicate with their doctor
