Inspiration

This project is inspired by Amber's personal experience when she was misdiagnosed with a terminal illness. She interfaced with the US medical infrastructure and experienced the back and forth between insurance agencies as well as doctors / hospitals. All of this while juggling her usual life priorities.

What it does

This app takes on some of the social load that someone in a stressed situation has to navigate.

How we built it

We used highly-defined Zapier Agents and workflows to handle backend logic and Swift for front end. It was built upon an agreed upon framework for messaging and how the different components talk to each other.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was Zapier integration complexity. We initially planned to connect our iOS app directly to Zapier for calendar automation and family notifications.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are really happy with the way that it looks

What we learned

• iOS apps can’t directly integrate with Zapier webhooks without backend infrastructure
• Authentication flows required more setup time than available
• Real-time synchronization needed database architecture we hadn’t built
