Inspiration

Our inspiration for CalmPulse stemmed from a shared concern about the rising mental health challenges faced by individuals, especially in today's fast-paced and stressful world. We wanted to create a solution that not only monitors essential health metrics but also provides personalized support and guidance to promote a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.

What it does

CalmPulse is a mobile application developed with Flutter, designed to monitor and enhance mental health. It tracks sleep levels, heart health, and stress levels, providing valuable insights and personalized support. The app includes features such as sleep monitoring, heart health tracking, stress level updates, automated alerts, chatbot support, mental health news, and customized emergency contacts.

How we built it

We built CalmPulse using the Flutter framework for cross-platform mobile app development. Our development process involved:

  1. UI/UX Design: We designed the app's interface using Figma, focusing on creating an intuitive and visually appealing user experience.
  2. Flutter Development: We implemented the app's functionalities using Dart programming language and Flutter widgets, ensuring smooth performance and responsiveness across devices.
  3. API Integration: We integrated APIs to fetch news based on the user's mood, providing curated content to boost motivation and mood.
  4. Chatbot Development: We developed a personalized chatbot named "Bestie" using Google Gemini and underwent extensive training to enhance its capabilities in providing mental health support.
  5. Data Visualization: We implemented visualizations for sleep, heart rate, and stress levels to provide users with valuable insights into their health metrics. ## Challenges we ran into During the development process, we encountered several challenges, including:

-✒️Realtime Data Fetching: **One of the major challenges we faced was obtaining real-time data from IoT sensors in smartwatches for accurate health monitoring. However, due to privacy restrictions from companies, we were unable to access this data directly. As a result, we had to resort to using dummy data to simulate health metrics within the app. Integration Complexity: Integrating various APIs and ensuring seamless communication between different components of the app required thorough planning and testing. -✒️Chatbot Training:** Training the chatbot to provide accurate and empathetic responses required continuous refinement and improvement. -✒️Data Visualization: Creating effective data visualizations that are both informative and user-friendly posed challenges in terms of design and implementation. Despite these challenges, we collaborated effectively as a team, leveraged our skills, and persevered to overcome obstacles throughout the development cycle.
