Aura

For this class project, we aimed to gain experience with voice commands by developing a smartwatch app focused on a health issue. Drawing from personal experience, I chose to create an app specifically for people with epilepsy. The app allows users to track their daily symptoms, set medicine reminders, set alarms like high blood pressure or muscles getting tensed and identify potential seizure triggers.

I began by researching common seizure "auras" and preventive measures, such as maintaining good sleep hygiene, which led me to include a sleep tracker feature. My research focused on identifying features that could enhance the quality of life for individuals with epilepsy.

The app includes several key functionalities: an emergency button to call 911, alarms to alert users of increased heart rate or muscle tension, reminders for doctor appointments and medication, and a calendar for daily symptom tracking.
