Inspiration 🦋

Our team recognized the need to promote healthy habits and improve overall well-being among marginalized communities in the city of Vancouver. The inspiration for this project stems from a variety of sources, such as personal experience with health issues, concern for the health of a loved one, and a desire to make a positive impact on the community. This project focuses on providing resources, education, and support to help individuals adopt healthier lifestyles and achieve their wellness goals.

What it does 🌚

Our project includes a website that allows members of a community to navigate through various services and get information that could possibly improve their wellness and fitness in society. It includes an option to call and connect with community service providers and also a chatbot that takes this communication process to the next level—ensuring that no member is left behind.

How we built it 🔨

This website was built primarily by Velo and Wix. Wix is the backbone that houses this excellent work. We made use of the Figma design and pulled ideas together to develop the interface with Wix and Velo. In building a chatbot with Java, we defined the chatbot's purpose, designed the conversation flow, and developed the chatbot's logic. Although we are yet to integrate it with a messaging platform, we have tested and refined it.

We also added animations and interactions using the developer tools on the Wix platform.

Challenges we ran into 🔓

Most of our teammates bailed on us at different points during the hackathon so we had to struggle to remain focused on the job as a team but with persistence and unmatched perspicacity, we were able to make it work Nevertheless.

Accomplishments that we're proud of 🐐

In general, we are proud of our ability to work as a team and execute the work we set out to do. We built the Wix website, and the chatbot and added interactions together with the design and development process.

What we learned

We learned how to interact and manipulate the Wix interface. We also learned how to build and integrate a chatbot with java. Our idea development and execution process was also something we learned a lot from.

What's next for MindfulMapper

Mindful mapper hopes to learn more about the Wix interface to further integrate certain features with the developer tools. We also plan to integrate the application with artificial intelligence tools like the new GPT-4 etcetera.
