Inspiration

When looking at what has the target audience of constituents engaged, as we realized that our target population of constituents are very engaged with games such as Candy Crush. We took those ideas and put those to our own website that combines the rewarding experience of games and the routine of healthcare and made a program that will help patients keep on top of their health while also gaining real rewards from doing so.

What it does

It's a website that garners engagement from constituents by game-ifying the experience of care by giving out daily rewards that can be used to redeem real rewards later on. This website also gathers real feedback and has an emergency feature for instant help for the user. There's a notification page that tells the user important tasks to be done.

Challenges we ran into

We experienced a lot of difficulty connecting our frontend and backend at first and spent a couple of hours testing out different frontends and backends before we settled on javascript and html. We learned

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to create a pain heat map using scripts that lets the user accurately map out the location and magnitude of their pain. We also implemented a real time clock that updates with every minute and shows the current date. The design combines flair with functionality too.

What we learned

Communication, collaboration, and problem solving in a group. We learned scripts that combined the front-end HTML and the back-end java script. We also learned how to combine design with function
