Hacks For Health

Inspiration

We wanted to explore Apple's native functions like HealthKit and because health is a big issue on many people's minds we wanted to do something to help them develop a healthier lifestyle.

What it does

Analyzes existing data from HealthKit (ex. weight, height) to calculate different measurements like BMI, TDEE, etc. and based on those results, gives you personalized suggestions to improve your health. Also saves data like height/weight every time unless you update it in HealthKit so you don't have to input it every time.

How we built it

Swift

Challenges we ran into

2 of our members (Michele and James) did not know Swift before and had to learn it while doing this project We had another idea before regarding Congressional bills but we weren't able to get a key for the API in time so we had to switch ideas completely at midnight

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Using a higher level API for HealthKit data accessing and storing

What we learned

How to use Swift and Apple's HealthKit API

What's next for Hacks For Health

Would calculate more measurements, provide more suggestions, and make it more tailored to each user
