Inspiration

I was inspired to build this project after experiencing eyestrains and headaches while working from home during the pandemic. Due to the frequency of the irritation, I would have to take multiple breaks while working and taking pain killers every week was not an option I wanted. Although going to the doctor or a massage therapist would help, I was reluctant to go due to COVID-19. This is why I thought to create a website that would inform users of how to relieve their pain at home without having to take medication or go to a provider.

What it does

Relief Point helps ease head, neck and shoulder pain by massaging different pressure points on your body. It instructs users of which pressure points to focus on for specific pain points and shows an easy step-by-step guide to properly massage them.

How I built it

I built the website using basic HTML, CSS and Javascript for the foundation and used photoshop to adjust the images I wanted for the website. I also used Google Dialogflow to create the chatbot with a Firebase database, and then used Kommunicate to integrate it onto the website.

Challenges I ran into

Sadly, there is not much research done on relieving headaches or other pains by massaging pressure points, so I had to try and dig up as much information as I could and worked with limited resources. I was also having some trouble with integrating the chatbot onto the website, but I found Kommunicate, which does the front-end integration for you and solved the issue.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud of building a website that can be used to help people all over the world. People are stuck at home in isolation and are building up tension in their necks, shoulders and heads. My product can help relieve these pains and make people more comfortable and healthier in their own homes.

What I learned

I learned so much about different pressure points on your body and what they can do. It’s always fascinating to see how the human body is so simple, yet complex at the same time! I also learned that CSS and styling is evil.

What's next for Relief Point

The next steps for this website are to: 1. Add different language options (Madarin, Spanish, French, etc) 2. Add a voice assistant for the visually impaired 3. Convert the website into a mobile application
