WellRise Project
About the Project: WellRise
Inspiration
WellRise was inspired by the need for better sleep and overall wellness in our busy, and modern lives. We wanted to create something that combined a sense of calm with playful charm, which led to the choice of a cute Goose as the theme for the project. The Goose represents peacefulness and lighthearted joy, making WellRise feel approachable and fun.
What We Learned
Building WellRise taught us a lot about the importance of simplicity and user experience in wellness enhancement. We learned how to design an intuitive interface that could offer a balance between relaxation and utility, ensuring users feel at ease when the project. We also deepened our understanding of how sleep affects overall health, and how small changes can make a big difference in sleep quality.
How We Built It
WellRise was built using Arduino and flask framework for the website component, with a focus on clean, minimal design to avoid overwhelming users. The app integrates features like sleep tracking and reminders to help users create healthy habits. We used user feedback to iteratively improve the app, making sure it remains user-friendly and impactful.
Challenges
One of the biggest challenges was finding the right balance between functionality and simplicity. While we wanted to offer helpful features, it was important to not overwhelm users with too many options. Designing a sleep-focused app that could cater to different lifestyles while maintaining a lighthearted tone also required careful thought.
Accomplishments that We're Proud Of
We're proud to have created an app that truly resonates with users and helps improve their wellness, particularly their sleep quality. One of the biggest accomplishments was developing an interface that feels lighthearted and engaging, thanks to the inclusion of the Goose mascot, while still providing real value in terms of wellness tools.
What's Next for WellRise
Looking ahead, there are exciting plans for WellRise. The next steps include expanding wellness features beyond sleep, such as mindfulness exercises, daily mood check-ins, and personalized wellness tips with AI chatbots. We also plan to introduce community features, allowing users to share their progress and encourage one another on their wellness journeys. With future updates, we aim to incorporate AI-driven insights that offer personalized sleep and wellness recommendations tailored to individual needs. Ultimately, WellRise will evolve into a comprehensive wellness companion that supports users in every aspect of their health and wellbeing.
WellRise is a project that reflects our passion for seamlessly integrating hardware and software as well as creating tools that help others improve their lives, starting with something as essential as sleep.
