Inspiration

• Medical patients sometimes struggle with forgetfulness and don't remember taking their routinely medication

What it does

• This solution allows users to enter reminders that will periodically send alerts throughout the day
• Users can only dismiss the reminders by creating an audio recording acknowledging that they've taken the medication
• The app will also keep track of the days a reminder has been dismissed or missed

How I built it

• Swift 5, XCode, VMWare, Hackintosh, a lot of Googling about setting up a MacOS environment and Swift

Challenges I ran into

• Setting up an environment to develop on as a PC user; VMWare MacOS workaround, Hackintosh (MacOS on desktop PC)
• Creating the visual calendar to track the dismissal or miss of a reminder
• Storing the audio recording for each reminder

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• Learning about Swift 5, being able to design and transform MVCs into a real product
• Building a solution to a problem that I personally suffer from
• Learning and developing in a technology (iOS) that I've always been interested in learning

Not working:

• Notification start and end date
• Removal of behavior where notification restarts at app restart

Next step:

• Implement automatically dismissed reminders based on recorded memo
• Implement removed reminders
• Calendar interface
• Online storage system
• Create a companion app for medical practitioners/caretakers to track their patients' reminders
• Rebuild in React Native
• Android alternative
