Inspiration
Kirpet is a way to use the data that we can collect about your pet (activity, disease risk, etc) in order to provide a customized insurance quote for you. And reward you for keeping your pet healthy by lowering your quote!
What it does
When you start a new quote for a pet, KirPet uses studies done on your pet's breed, as well as activity data from your whistle collar, in order to determine your pet's general health level and adjust the price.
How we built it
KirPet is a web app built using the Laravel PHP framework. We used the data provided by KinShip in our calculation's of a pet's health level.
Challenges we ran into
Since the data was in CSV format, we had to figure out a way to insert it into a database for use in the web app. The amount of data was also a challenge since it could not be inserted all at once.
The final solution was to use Sqlify to turn the csv data into JSON, then iterate through each record and insert it into the database one by one.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Processing such large amounts of data and being able to compile them for a final result.
What we learned
A lot about dog activity and disease data for different breeds.
