This project was our submission to MHacks IV, a hackathon where 1000 students met to create amazing things, transform dreams into realities, and build their future.
During 36 hours straight of hacking, we created an entire platform consisting of a pure-Swift iOS app, pure-Go backend, and the beginnings of an Android app, with a little help from Facebook Parse and Google Charts.
We're really proud of what we created at our first hackathon—especially since we made the top ten!
With a Type I diabetic on our team, we know first-hand what the lifestyle of a diabetic can be like. We recognize that there is a never-ending need for health tools and technology, especially those pertaining to diabetics. We believe that we can play a meaningful role in creating this future.
Being on the forefront of health requires cutting-edge tools, and we're very proud to have been able to integrate many powerful and new technologies:
- A pure-Swift iOS 8 app integrated with the unreleased HealthKit framework
- A server powered by in Go, easily convertible to be a Google App Engine app if needed
- Cross-platform RESTful services that our apps can readily consume
- Integration with Facebook's Parse framework to maintain users and data
- A beta version of an Android App
And above all, we had a blast doing it.
