  User Interface Example

Inspiration: Half of our team has ADHD and struggle to focus especially during class and doing work. We have a hard time recognizing when we are distracted and are not able to get back on task.

What it does: The app measures heart and respiratory rates and uses a threshold based on an individual's data to detect distractibility. When the threshold is detected, the apple watch will send a small buzz to curb the distraction and get the user back on task.

How we built it: We developed an iOS app using "XCode" and collected data on the rates from the Health App available on the watch. Using the data, we compare the heart rate and respiratory rate to the certain threshold we set, determining whether or not the user was "distracted" or "focused."

Challenges we ran into: Utilizing the new software, "Xcode," proved to be very difficult for our team. All of us were unfamiliar with the language that the software used, and the inner workings of how to connect devices to the software was something that we had to research extensively. But, we persevered, and were able to successfully render a working prototype within the app.

Accomplishments that we're proud of: We are very proud of the idea we came up with and how we executed it through the application. It is a very daunting task to come up with an executable plan from such a broad task, and we are proud of how hard we tried and the dedication we had.

What we learned: We learned so much about Xcode and the inner workings of the application. This is incredibly useful for the team because if any of us want to develop our own applications, we now have the tools and knowledge to do so.

What's next for LockIN: We would like to export the app itself to an actual apple watch, in order to see it work in real time with real data. Additionally, we would like to clean up the display and add UI.
