Clearing the fog in your mind

What it does

This app is to help people with memory difficulties. It is equipped with a ton of features to help those with memory difficulties progress through lif easier. Our app can be used even by kids with memory difficulties since it can also be used like a game because of our minigame and tower section. The minigames help stimulate your brain and help you remember things in a fun and exciting way. You can upgrade the tower using the points you collected in minigame so you can show off how high your tower is. We have an AI chatbot that you can ask if you ever have any questions with voice recognition so that you dont have to type. Old people usually have motoric difficulties so this app implements large easy to see buttons. We have alerts for your daily schedule and for important dates and a map so you dont get lost.

Inspiration

We didn't know what to make at first so we sought guidance from our parents which made us decide to make an app that's related to health and can help our community. After that we managed to contact an IT at a hospital and he helped us decide that we will make an app to help people with memory difficulties. To understand what our target audience needs we asked our elderly and their caretakers on what difficulties they usually have and if they have any suggestions. Thanks to them we got inspiration.

How we built it

Me and Vino divided tasks and worked simuntaneously in the main dart code. We could work more efficiently this way. He was in charge of the design and making the code neater while i made the base code. Jayson worked seperately to make the incredible graphics of vinoscape. then we embedded it into our app.

Challenges we ran into

We didn't always agree with each other and often argued. We also didn't have enough time because of the never-ending tests and homework. Because we weren't incredible at flutter we often encountered errors like the gray and red screen of death and syntax errors.

What's next

We plan to make the AI answer instantly. We also plan to make our app more accesible. To help people who dont speak english we will add a language option. We plan to let this connect to a caregiver app so the caregiver can monitor their location and tell if there is an emergency.
