Inspiration
Due to the state of the pandemic and recent stories about workplace injuries in Alberta, we were inspired to create a system that can monitor the health of individuals in real time. This could be for a family, a workforce or even a classroom. The goal of the system is to better enable people to monitor physical and mental health of those around them.
What it does
The system reads live heart rate, blood pressure and even shows a weekly chart with heart activity. Moreover the system can track the amount of water a person has taken in a day and displays it as a percentage towards a goal amount. The system also looks up a users location and gives them the closest health clinics and resource centers.
How we built it
We used HTML,CSS,JS,Bootstrap and Python to analyze and present all the data in our project. We also gathered location data from the City of Calgary so that we could find all of the available resource centers within city limits. To calculate a users location (so we can recommend resources nearby) we used the geo spatial API in Javascript that returns a persons longitude and latitude. From there we applied some math to calculate distances to the nearest resource centers.
Challenges we ran into
One challenge that we ran into during the project was getting containers within our HTML page to align properly, we spent many hours figuring out how to align all elements on our website and provide users and administrators alike, with a clean and intuitive interface design.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
One accomplishment that we are proud of is making our website responsive to all devices. Weather you are on the go or on your computer, the website will dynamically adjust all components to fit the size of your screen.
What we learned
Throughout the process we learned a lot about animations in CSS and HTML, this includes the heart rate monitor and blood pressure monitor. Being able to present the data in a fun and interactive way was something that we had strived for.
What's next for Health Corner
In the future, we would like to integrate real data using smart devices such as Apple or Garmin watches. These devices can return data and we can then present that in our system.
