Example Pitch

Pitch your capstone project idea in detail

This application is for seniors and caretakers. As the senior, the user can create an account, create to-do lists for errands, housework, groceries, bills, and other tasks they cannot complete on their own. They can add tasks, due dates, task importance qualifiers, and detailed notes. The caretaker can create an account and subscribe to senior lists. In doing so, the caretaker can see a specific list or all lists and the details of the tasks. They can add notes and complete tasks. Once the tasks are complete or notes are added, the senior receives a text message informing them that a task has been completed using the Twilio api. All tasks and user information will be stored on the backend. This app would be completely accessible for all users regardless of their disability.

Tell us the reason why this application should be built

The idea for this app came from a personal experience. A family member had developed multiple disabilities. This meant that they needed more help from family members. Often they had lists upon lists of tasks to be completed. The family would be given these lists and need to finish the tasks. There were several issues with this situation: The family member had a writing impairment - it was hard to read their writing and hard for them to write. Tasks would be completed and then the family member would forget to communicate the completion of the task or throw away the to-do list once finished without letting the senior know everything was done. This app solves a common problem among seniors and caretakers. It is simple enough to have an MVP and be completed in two weeks while also challenges the devs to build an app that is larger than they are used to.
