MediTrack

Manage your health in the palm of your hands!

Comment

Inspiration

With new diseases and illnesses being introduced in the world,** managing one's healthcare is more crucial** than ever. In healthcare, new technologies and applications are being developed in order to better track your health. However, these technologies do not account for accessibility for people such as senior citizens. MediTrack aims to help senior citizens manage their health while keeping accessibility in mind.

What it does

When a user first opens MediTrack, they are greeted with an onboarding screen describing the app, then transition to the login/register page. When arriving at the home page, the user has a multitude of options. First, the user can manage their step count by taking advantage of our in-app pedometer. The user can also make virtual meetings with doctors through our Google Meets integration and make emergency calls within the app. Further, the user can take notes through our notes feature and create reminders in our calendar feature. The user can use our Google Maps shortcut feature in order to find the nearest healthcare facilities. In order for the user to keep their mind active, we have implemented a game feature. Finally, the user can learn about diseases through our interactive disease diagram. 

How we built it

This application was developed in Java and XML using the Android Studio framework. Furthermore, we used backend frameworks such as Google Firebase to manage accounts. 

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge we ran into was the Google Maps API. Initially, we aimed to mimic the Google Maps user interface within our app but were unable due to pricing and feasibility. However, we decided to implement Google Maps shortcuts, which serve the same purpose as our original plan. 

Accomplishments that we're proud of

As our team lives in different areas, we are proud that we were able to come together in order to make this application. Furthermore, we are proud of being able to implement a pedometer since we had to create our own algorithm and equations. Finally, we are proud of the design of the app as we feel that it makes the app complete. 

What we learned

Through the process, we learned that the sky's our limit. Our team is pleased with the progress of our app and we understand our capabilities in terms of design and implementation. We hope to use these skills in order to create similar apps that aim to help people. 

What's next for MediTrack

The next step for MediTrack is to get published on the Google Play Store. Then, we hope to create a similar application compatible with iOS devices. Finally, we hope that this app will affect the lives of many people.
