SACenter: Appointments & Paperwork

Inspiration

In human history, and sadly until now, we have witnessed all kinds of violence. However, there is one type that didn't gain good support since it is a taboo subject. It is sexual violence. So, we'd love to aid the affected ones on the occasion of this event.

What it does

A mobile app that provides a check-in and appointment system. Besides, the user can prepare his papers (for therapy as such) with one click. (This is not totally implemented in the app due to the short time period of the event)

How we built it

Did an authentication system with Firebase. When the user logs in, he can see his info and if he has an appointment.
Made an appointment system in the Calendar section where users could choose an available date.
In the paperwork section, the user can click in one of the available papers and it will get automatically filled.

Challenges we ran into

It was the first time to use Firebase in Android. So, we faced some difficulties there. Also, the implementation of the calendar was challenging.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Applied our computer science skills to help vulnerable people to have a better life. We finished the appointment check-ins and paperwork system within 48 hours that meet the main requirement of the event and Sexual Assault Center.

What we learned

Implement an authentication system. How to manage time properly: At first, you need to accomplish the bare minimum of the app, and just after, you can do the UI and handle all use cases.
