Inspiration

We were inspired to create this project because of stories that we read on the news about families being torn apart from alcohol abuse and thought about a project that could possibly mitigate the number of stories that would pop up in the news.

What it does

Our app has four main functionalities. The first is to provide users with the option to estimate their Blood Alcohol Content with a calculation that takes in the user's Gender(body type), Alcohol consumption in ounces, weight in pounds, and time since their first drink. The Second is to test temporary short term memory loss which we do so by asking users to remember a certain phrase which will be brought up again after the third functionality which is to test the presence of slurred speech with a Speech to Text program that asks users to repeat a sample paragraph and when they are done we check to see how many words match what the users say. The fourth functionality is to provide users with resources to provide clarity on the symptoms of drunkenness, what is alcohol abuse, and how to combat addiction.

How we built it

We built this app with Microsoft's relatively new language Flutter and using verified knowledge on the web to find the algorithm to calculate a person's Blood Alcohol Content level.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into challenges with the documentation in Flutter, since Flutter is a relatively new language there wasn't as much information out there as I would normally see in a language like javascript. Using a complicated plugin that allowed the Speech to Text function presented its challenges and provided lots of trial and error to go through. A lot of the code worked as a result of us thinking out of the box and manipulating certain aspects of flutter.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the quickness in which we made this app since we started at the beginning of the hackathon and we managed to get a lot of functionality in. We are also proud of the fact that our layout is clear to read and resembles the structure of a bootstrap website, a result of prior experience making websites.
