EldersConnect app for Juniors👨🏻

EldersConnect Junior

EldersConnect is a Flutter app to help connect Senior Citizens to their Junior Caretakers in order to keep track of medicines, health, etc. and maintain simple communication between them.

This is the Junior's app repository. The companion Senior app repository can be found here. Both are developed by members of ACM MPSTME and NOW Mozilla Club.

Building

Important: this project contains certain files that are encrypted due to the use of API keys, which is why it will not build directly on your machine. Please refer to ENCRYPTION.md for more information.

To build and run the app on your device, do the following:

• Install Flutter by following the instructions on their website.
• Clone this repo to your local machine using git clone https://github.com/nowmozillaclub/eldersconnect-junior.git.
• Replace all the encrypted files with your own as explained in ENCRYPTION.md.
• Connect your devices/emulators and run the app using flutter run in the root of the project directory.

Note: you can also run it in release mode using flutter run --release to improve performance and stability, however, debugging features will be disabled.

eldersconnect-junior's Issues

[FEATURE REQUEST] Doctor database

Find an API or get a database of doctors which can be contacted immediately

[CODE QUALITY] Use Providers

Use Providers for state management

[CODE QUALITY] Move to BLoC pattern

I think we should learn the Flutter BLoC pattern first, then start to implement the core logic for the app. State management is very important for a performant app, but is a relatively advanced and complex thing to learn. I think BLoC is a good pattern to follow to build the rest of the app.

Some documentation, in case anybody want to start learning it.

[FEATURE REQUEST] Implement connection to Senior

Implementation

1. Scan QR code on the Senior app
2. Write the Senior's UUID to a field in Firestore
3. The Senior app should listen to changes and make the connection

[FEATURE REQUEST] Medicine timetable

Medicine timetable should be uploaded by the Junior which is then synced to Senior app and reminders are auto-created.

[FEATURE REQUEST] Finish homepage UI

Finish the basic UI for the Junior app homepage

[BUG] Broken on iOS

Does not run on iOS (physical and simulator) due to an error with the podfile. Unable to import packages such as Firebase and Barcode Scanner.
