Mobile App 'Prevention is Greater than Cure' P>C

The Mobile App ‘Prevention is Greater than Cure’ P>C was developed by team Legogoa consisting of Venkatesh Dempo and Sai Pranav Gandhi. Its was submitted to the MIT App Inventor Hackathon 2020

In the fight against COVID 19, keeping ourselves healthy and increasing our immunity is the only way to protect ourselves. WELLNESS in Physical, Mental, and Spiritual terms is essential. The statement ‘Prevention is better than Cure’ is so perfect. So we created a unique and innovative concept ‘Wellness quotient’.This app motivates the user to improve his Wellness Quotient through the use of various features in the app like exercises, walking, talking to friends, staying positive, eating healthy etc. Each of these features has been assigned a score and the app calculates the Wellness Quotient based on the scores obtained on each of the features. The user is prompted to improve his Wellness Quotient. And improvement in Wellness Score means improvement in general health leading to better Immunity.

1. Walk/ run: Pedometer

2. Meditation: YouTube videos

3. BMI; Body mass Index calculator

4. Mind Games: ping pong game to improve concentration

5. Chat bot: Auto chat feature for engagement

6. Exercise: AI based yoga trainer

7. Quiz: WQ questionnaire to quiz on three pillars of Wellness

8. WQ: Wellness Quotient calculator

9. Share: Social Share to share the WQ achievements

10. Help: More information on how to use the features

Based on the MIT App Inventor Hackathon 2020 contest themes we selected 

Theme: Healthcare

Prevention is Greater than Cure (P>C)

We Sai Pranav Gandhi and Venkatesh Dempo, studying in 5th standard in Sharada Mandir School, Goa, India. Our team is LEGOGOA. 

We had a brainstorming session with our family members and friends and opted for the theme of Health Care. Currently making ourselves healthy and increasing our immunity is the best way to fight against COVID 19.

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease. To increase our immunity we have to be healthy at Physical, Mental, and Spiritual levels. It is termed as WELLNESS. There is a popular saying ‘Prevention is better than Cure’ so we decided to work on these concepts.

mind map of wellness

We listed down the factors of wellness and then discussed at achieving them with a Mobile app

We then prioritized each of these solutions based on its importance and doability

We then worked on the design of the app and how we could combine the features on to have a simple and easy to use interface

The unique and innovative part of this app is that we created a Wellness quotient based on the three pillars of health i.e., Physical, Mental and spiritual components. 

All the features and activities in this app are designed towards arriving at a Wellness Quotient and the improvement of this quotient is the task assigned to the user. If you notice this Wellness Quotient scoring sheet all the three pillars  are balanced

This yoga feature is powered by A.I. and will predict the correctness of the poses that one is doing. Currently, it is trained for 2 poses: child pose and tree pose. You have to choose which pose you are going to do with the help of these buttons. Then tell your friend to hold up the phone and point the camera at you. It will then tell you if you did it correctly or not. The user has to then hold the pose for 30 secs and the timer will tell you when you finish.

WELLNESS QUOTIENT

The most important feature is a questionnaire that the user has to submit every day. After you submit the questionnaire it generates a WQ (Wellness Quotient) and shows how many points one has scored. This score has a share button that allows you to share your WQ with your friends,  WQ is calculated on all the features in the app 

On the main page, there will be a button called help. This button will show you help and you can see a help page to know more about us and how to use the app.

My Learnings from FTC

Image
In my journey, in FTC I learned many things and came across many different challenges. I had to overcome all of these challenges and I learnt a lot in the process.  One of the major things that I learnt was 3d designing. Before I had some minor knowledge of using Fusion 360 but I learnt a lot more during this competition. As the only 3d Designer in the team I had to design many of the major parts we needed for the competition. Here are a few of the things that I designed. Battery Holder To hold the battery to our robot, we needed a holder to store it and help us attach it to the robot. To start, I took the battery measurements by the scale and created a sketch to be the base, then extruded the walls and the base. I made a slot for the wire of the battery to be able to come out.  With the rough design of the battery holder down, I started the refinement of the build and filleted down all the sharp edges. However, if I were to re-design this part, I could count this step as a mistake as

Brahma of Goa

Image
Over the last few weeks, as a part of my participation in the E-Yantra Virtual Museum competition, I have been on a journey to discover the history of one statue and its entire story. I have scoured the internet searching for leads, visited temples, talked to priests and gone around Goa to find out about this one statue. This statue is a sculpture of Brahma, a Hindu god. It is chiselled black stone and originates in the Kadamba era (12th century). It is decorated with many details, stands tall, and is bearded with Kadamba-style designs. The figure carries a ladle in its upper right Hand, The Vedas in its upper left hand. Kamandal in its lower left hand and chanting beads in its lower right hand.  Now let me walk you through my story about this statue. First, I saw images of the statue and then tried searching for information on it online. I found a few excellent articles, but those still wouldn’t give the full details. After a lot of scouring around the internet, I found one article w
