How we built it

It starts with a welcoming screen that uses Flutter, a special tool for making apps. People log in as either "Intended Parents" or "Surrogates" using MongoDB and Node.js, which are like the app's memory. When they want to talk, Socket.IO makes it happen in real-time, like texting.

The magic of understanding emotions is thanks to Natural Language Processing (NLP), a smart way of talking with the app. Everything is carefully organized using MongoDB, Node.js, and Express, which help the app manage all the information.

Our app also has a special trick: it can hide certain details to keep things private. All these technology pieces fit together to create a smooth and safe way to connect intended parents and surrogates, making surrogacy journeys feel easier and more connected.

Challenges we ran into

The journey to realizing SURROBOON was strewn with trials that tested our resilience and dedication. As we embarked on a mission to nurture empathy and empowerment, we encountered obstacles that sparked innovation and unwavering resolve. From intricate technical integrations to preserving ethical standards, safeguarding privacy, bridging language gaps, and navigating complex legalities, each hurdle was met with determination. Crafting emotional support, respecting cultural sensitivities, and ensuring user education posed intricate tasks. Striking the perfect emotional equilibrium in app interactions was a persistent challenge. Despite these trials, our vision remained steadfast, fueling growth and a deeper comprehension of SURROBOON's potential to unite women, technology, and compassion for the betterment of all. Our dynamic technology stack also encountered its own set of challenges, prompting us to adapt, innovate, and solidify our commitment to pioneering surrogacy empowerment and unity.
