Project Synopsis
VitaMinutes makes it easy to ensure that an individual gets their daily vitamin D, for free. 42% of the United States is D-deficient, when it is one of the most naturally bioavailable vitamins since its production is triggered by the Sun! People use our app to see how long they need to have sun exposure to get the recommended daily D production.
Project Specifications
Built in Flutter with iOS, Android, and web support.
Our project uses public research data about Vitamin D levels needed by varying demographics of individuals as well as vitamin D production rates based on UV levels.
We also gather data on the user's skin tone on the Fitzpatrick skin spectrum to determine dangerous levels of UV exposure in one sitting.
To grab real-time UV data, we use OpenUV, an API we interface with live in the app. Our calculations for sun exposure time are based on this UV index data as well as the public research datasets.
