Inspiration
Learning about the 30.9% of adults over 65yrs who don't engage in physical activity, we decided to help promote fitness and health through this app.
What it does
Our app introduces a buddy system to hold users accountable for their physical health, as well as motivating users and educating them.
How we built it
We created a GUI, an app called SeniorActive, that keep track of a user's physical activity throughout a span of multiple days and rewards them for goals completed as well as automates responses to promote fitness.
Challenges we ran into
The initial challenges of gaps in knowledge of Java were fixed by hard work and research, as well as mentoring between members.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The way we effectively utilized each member's strengths to it's highest capacity and even then built on each other's gaps of knowledge.
What we learned
How to work collaboratively as a team, many new features of Java, and each other's strengths.
What's next for SeniorActive
We plan on introducing it in senior homes to spread reach on the importance of physical health.
