Inspiration
With aging often comes a slight decline in memory. Having personal customized reminders from family/caretakers like they're right there with you can help aging people live independently while getting any customized help they may need.
What it does
QR codes are placed in different places of the home. If the elderly person needs help remembering how to do something in a certain part of their home, they can scan the QR code and select what they need help doing.
How we built it
Store the list of reminders for a QR code type with the video links on Firebase. Built Android app that scans QR code using Mobile Vision API and plays embedded YouTube videos using YouTube Player View API.
Challenges I ran into
Best practices for UI for elderly populations and overall building and wireframing the initial concept. Also incorporating the different API's into the app to allow for embedded videos to play and the display after scanning QR codes.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Building an initial app with a functioning feature and a basic backend using Firebase.
What I learned
A lot
What's next for RightOnQ
