What is this?
CareBuddy is an elderly friendly application that helps patients suffering from any form of dementia or Alzheimer’s to remember past events and record new ones. Our app enables a communication between the caregiver and the patient, therefore it has two sides to it.
The patient’s side: Enables some features like facial recognition, which the patient can use to take a picture of the people they do not recognize and get an idea of who they are. in addition there are some announcements given my the caretaker and a chat option.
The caregiver’s side: the caregiver acts as an admin to our application. they hold most of the write rights. They add the patients family member and personal informations. the caregiver can also post reminders that will show on the patient’s side as well as discuss with the patient through our chat.
Our team won the “Most Technically Challenging Hack” out of 75 submissions.
What did you do?
I worked on the UI/UX design of the app and then implemented the design with React Native components and SCSS.
How was this built?
- Expo + React Native for the mobile app framework.
- Google Vision API for image recognition.
