Inspiration

Intinn meaning mind or intellectuality in Irish. It's Sashwita and for me Intinn started from something personal. When my grandfather was diagnosed with vascular dementia, my family and I felt lost. Some days he was clear and active, other days he wasn’t and we didn’t understand why. I noticed that when he followed a proper routine with good sleep, healthy meals, and small cognitive exercises after which he seemed noticeably better. But we had no way to track patterns or understand what was actually helping. That gap we wanted to fill and that's what inspired Intinn. And when I shared this idea with my teammates, they believed in it too and we decided to build it together.

What it does

Intinn is a cognitive wellness and tracking platform designed for dementia and Alzheimer’s care.
It tracks daily cognitive patterns, diet, sleep, and activities.
It integrates music therapy from a patient’s prime years using Spotify or apple music
It visualizes trends clearly for families and doctors.
It connects patients, caregivers, and families in one place.

How we built it

We started by researching dementia care gaps and existing apps.
We focused on our UI to be cognitively accessible with high contrast, low visual load, predictable navigation, and calming tones to support ageing users.
We combined cognitive exercises, wellness tracking, and music therapy into one system.
We added a diet and wellness tracker where the recommended diets was given by a clinical dietitian
We designed it to be caregiver-friendly, not just clinically focused.
Each team member contributed through coding, UI design, research, and idea development.

Challenges we ran into

Since our developers are first-year students, learning React from scratch was a big challenge. Building a full working platform while learning a new framework wasn’t easy — but they pushed through and did an amazing job for their first major React project.
Understanding the neuroscience behind cognitive training was another challenge. We had to research how different cognitive exercises impact memory, attention, and processing speed.
We also had to design the games carefully, making sure questions are randomized every time so patients don’t memorize answers. This helps prevent habituation and keeps the brain genuinely engaged instead of just repeating patterns.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Turning a deeply personal experience into a meaningful solution that can help other families.
Building a working platform even though our team was learning React and advanced development concepts for the first time.
Creating something more than just cognitive games — a holistic brain wellness system that includes tracking, diet, music therapy, and caregiver integration all in one app.

What we learned

As we are from different courses and backgrounds we learnt so much about each other's topics, interests and more
Biomed majors learnt coding and engineering & computer science students learnt MedTech and ideas!

What's next for Intinn

Developing our wearable monitoring band for passive tremor and seizure detection.
Enhancing AI personalization for cognitive plans and brain-healthy meal suggestions.
Expanding multilingual support to reach global users.
Partnering with researchers and healthcare institutions for validation.
Continuously improving the platform based on real caregiver feedback.
