BattleHack

SINGAPORE

"We, The Citizens of Code!"

March 28-29

Winners

Jarvis

Amulya Khare, Arvin Sabu Joseph, Mohit Kanwal, Rajul Gupta

Jarvis is a smart container to aid in the prompt and efficient supply of medicines for the elderly in Singapore. Jarvis comes with an app which has a feature to facilitate donations for various medical conditions.

The “smart” medicine jar, equipped with a weight sensor is able to detect the volume of pills contained within it. Once the volume of pills drops below a predefined threshold, the server intuitively notifies the Android app running on the caregiver’s phone, reminding him or her to purchase more medication. The app was also designed to provide users with the option of purchasing medication directly from nearby pharmacies, and have it delivered to their homes.

Feels Like Magic

Eugene Chen

It shouldn't be hard for people to associate their data with maps.

Employees of nonprofit organizations fear data. They fear visualizing data. Maps are out of the question. Students from elementary school to college face similar difficulties, and even analysts have to rely on coding to show their data.

MapsInSeconds.com aims to change that through a straightforward experience that is intuitive for anyone who has some basic experience with Excel.

Hack through the night, or grab a nap, beer break, and maybe even a massage or two. On Day 2, we have rehearsals, more food, and hack till you hear our gong, signaling the end of hacking! Teams present their apps, judging occurs and prizes are awarded.
