Inspiration: In light of the current situation with Covid-19, we observed how the lockdown was affecting us as individuals in the society and how there was a flaw in the process of returning back to somewhat of a normal life.
What it does: With ThermoGo, employers can track and quickly update the daily temperatures of employees across various departments. This app is made to add regulation to the process regarding Covid-19.
How we built it: We first designed our app on Figma so that we can work on it together, then recreated the design on Adobe XD and exported it through SuperNova Studio so that it can be edited on Flutter.
Challenges we ran into: We had some problems converting our design from Adobe XD to Flutter, and then had some challenges implementing libraries and utilizing Flutter because it was a new language for all of us. We also had difficulties merging the code of various files together.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: We're proud that we were successfully able to develop a business plan and an application throughout these three day even though it was our first time participating in a hackathon and using these different softwares. Furthermore, we are proud that we were able to observe a big problem within the world and contribute to making a solution.
What we learned: Through the process of making this app, we learned many technical skills in designing and coding the application. We also got to experience the business side and discovered importance in selling our product, generating revenue, and receiving marketing validation. More importantly, we learned the importance of speaking up when we see a problem in society and collaborating together to find a solution.
What's next for ThermoGo: Although the app is currently specific to Covid -19, it can be expanded beyond the pandemic for use as a safety measure by companies to track the general health of their employees. As we develop our application, we plan to link a bluetooth thermometer with the device to avoid the need for manual entry. We hope to reach out to professors in various colleges to help us expand this app so it can gain popularity and credibility.
