Inspiration

WeCU is born from the need of better help for people with neurological difficulties, and the desire to create an easy to use and fun solution

We are Johana Hernandez and Oriana Hernandez, two UC students with creativity, 24 hours and a really strong sister bond willing to find the way to fight the lack of great solutions in the mental health sector.

What it does

CU DAILY By monitoring the student's or patient's mental well-being by implementing a daily check-up which consists on 3 short questions regarding energy levels, any concerns, and in the ruler quadrants scale, how do they feel that specific day.

Our CU DAILY check-up is a tool created to be there even when we can't. Maybe being in person is not a thing someone can do daily, but in WeCU the patients and students are first. We want to be there for them at any minute they need us, plus we keep track of their data and analyze it, to see patterns on they're mental health depending on the season, month, personal situation, etc. Our daily survey serves as a way for the patient's and students to wait a second and understand how they feel, while getting feedback about their recent energy levels and mood data displayed as a chart for their convenience.

In UC WeCU Our fabulous student section is a great way for students to get to know all the resources they can access within UC, maybe getting support, talking to someone, or using our built in tips and hacks tile, which we developed with love to help people struggling with Stress, Seasonal Depression, Home Sickness, and Anxiety about exams. in WeCU we know that most students struggle with those topics and we're here to help the transition to be a college student, the hard winter or finals week, be easier to manage.

How we built it

To create WeCU, we decided to use HTML and CSS for our front-end along with Javascript for our back-end, we decided to use github to host our webpage and added the custom .tech domain to our idea. For our built in chat bot we used tidio, chatbot templates.

Challenges we ran into

Johana Hernandez First hackathon, it was our first time developing a completely programmed project, Oriana's first time using javascript , it was terrifying but most programming languages have the same logic and that helped her to understand the coding better. We are a team of two for a really ambitious project, and it was really hard to keep going even when we were tired. A challenge was that we wanted to use python to develop the backend but python does not support being added to HTML so we changed our method and started learning about basic syntax of Javascript.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our way to join our personal experiences with coding and formatting to create a great project, with Johana's knowledge of HTML and graphic design and Oriana's knowledge about programming logic and HTML, plus our drive to learn and try new things helped us create a great project.

What we learned

We learned how to develop code in Javascript from inside of an HTML document. Time management. How to complement each other ideas and knowledge. How to set up a greeting chatbot and a FAQ chatbot. The basics of implementing CECE our virtual assistant chatbot to check up on students or patients and answer questions regarding the website.

What's next for WeCU

Successfully connecting the database to be able to retrieve and analyze data from each patient and display their respective information whenever they want. Expand our built in tips and hacks section to be able to give more mini-tips on how to manage certain situations in a students life. Implement a mobile application version, it works now on a smartphone but the dimensions are a little off so we might want to create a version just for phones and other for laptops or desktops.
