Inspiration

Fitness is an important value for our family, and our parents are always teaching us healthy habits. We built this app to keep our family and others healthy by giving them important preventative reminders.

What it does

Do you know what preventative screenings and vaccines you need? With priventiCheck, you can do just that! preventiCheck asks the user to input age so they can learn about the screenings and vaccines that are recommended for this age. Users can also learn about general health tips to stay healthy. Screenings, vaccines, and general health tips can be edited easily through a text file, so users do not need to know coding for modification.

How we built it

We programmed priventiCheck using Python and Tkinter. We made separate text files for screenings/vaccines and general health tips. We used VSCode as our IDE and collaborated through GitHub.

Challenges we ran into

There was an issue where if you entered multiple ages, the screenings/vaccines overlapped. We also ran into a challenge when we were importing the text files.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We had extra time so we added a general health tips section. We also made it so that the general health tips and the vaccines were in separate text files, so they can be modified easily by others.

What we learned

We learned how to use Tkinter and importing text files into Python.

What's next for preventiCheck

We will add more features, such as a separate tab for babies with more details. We will also try to remake it in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS so it can be a website, which is more accessible.
