Hacking Homes
Inspiration
We were inspired by driving healthy interactions with the homeless community in the region. And allowing everyone to benefit from those interactions
What it does
Our tool promotes engagement between providers and clients. We allow service providers to gather valuable information that is then shared and analyzed among all COC members. We encourage client participation by providing them a platform to improve their quality of life.
We created a collaborative participation system that offers clients the ability to reward themselves through an interactive platform.
How we built it
Client side: We built an Android application that generates a unique QR code for every client. This QR code allows the client to gain participation benefits for every healthy interaction they engage in.
Provider side: We built a central web portal for the providers to scan the QR codes of the clients, obtain information, and provide surveys.
Challenges we ran into
Connecting the multiple platforms to a central database.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Fully functioning Android application for clients. Fully functioning web portal for providers.
What we learned
A LOT about the challenges of interfacing with homeless clients.
