Forget Me Not

Program is best opened on Windows

Inspiration

We decided to built this app because it addresses an issue that is personally close to many of us. We all have had grandparents that suffered from Alzheimer's disease or dementia and some of them unfortunately passed away due to these conditions. We decided to write this app because their conditions were not noticed and subsequently not addressed in time.

What it does

This program addresses the issues by allowing us to administer a test that notifies a caretaker when there is a significant decline in mental capability allowing more medical attention to be administered.

How we built it

We created the app using C++ and SFML, with the file browsing in C#.

Challenges we ran into

We had some issues with cross-platform compatibility due to using Windows and Mac. Github broke

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We created an email system We created a graphing plot for test scores We created a Random Word Problem Generator We created a file save and load system for patient profiles We created a time telling test

What we learned

This is our first hackathon, so we learned many lessons. We became more familiar the spirit and atmosphere of hackathons, and we learned lessons such as to try to use the same platform to avoid cross-compatibility issues. We also learned how to use gitHub and SFML libraries.

What's next for Forget Me Not

We hope to add more evaluation questions to address issues such as patient mood, long-term and short-memory, personal relationships. We hope to add additional features such as reading comprehension and identification of everyday objects, as well as more detailed graphing and data analysis, and identifying family members.

Created by

I helped by writing many of the questions, and then creating a program that would make additional questions based on a general guideline. It would create questions automatically and make answers for them too. These questions were math based and would test the user's arithmetic skills to compare. I also helped with the parsing vector strings used in all of the problems.

For this hackathon, I learned SFML, and helped by setting up some of the windows for our program. For instance, I made most of the multiple choice selection window. I also helped with planning some of the ideas we would try to do and creating the questions, along with accepting the questions from an external file, and I helped write the text-input boxes.

Jake Sanders
I designed and wrote the clock element of the project and helped work on other specific elements of the program as well as helping design the concept.

Teddy Rashkover
I gathered all of the different parts together into one project. I wrote a lot of the program that makes it look the way that it does and most of the visual effects. I also made a lot of the code that runs it, and incorporated external file connections, such as saving data, and accessing it later. I also wrote the graphing feature and am working on the automated emailing, in addition to having made the main menu.
