Food and Activity Tracker for Kidney Patients

Context

In four days, my team of five developed a web app that allows users to enter physical activities, foods eaten, and the associated macronutrients. Existing food tracking apps do not allow entry of nutrients that are especially important to those with kidney disease. An organization tasked us with building and presenting a web app that would fill this need.

Impact

• Placed 3rd out of 50 teams
• People with kidney disease could record foods they ate and the app would automatically populate the pertinent nutrients
• We developed a proof of concept that met all objectives
• The organization selected parts of our solution for further development

Technologies Used

• CSS
• Python/Django
• REST API’s
• ChartJS
