Boehringer Ingelheim company has held the 3rd edition of the ‘Committed to the Future’ Hackathon with the aim of boosting commitment to the future in the field of human and animal health by fostering innovation and digital talent.
Mei, Jofre, Oriol (Bacc1 students) and Guillem (ESO3 student) have represented CreaNova in this adventure where they were the youngest among graduates, computer engineers and high level people!
Their project was about a system for managing the medication of dependent people: it consists of an application that helps the patient to control his pills and doses, when and how. There is a physical part, some kind of a ‘button’, which helps visually and audibly to the person and / or the caregiver, also the app where all the management is done and a server where all the data with possible access to the information is stored , wherever you are.
All this in just 48 intense hours this past weekend!
The steps that they followed are: thinking about the idea, dividing the tasks according to each one’s skills, trial and error and … final presentation!
