Project Description

I am working on a searchable relational database of feature films that I plan to make available as a tool for scholars and ordinary film buffs. I need help with various aspects of the programming for the database including (1) automating the film upload process to the extent possible; (2) continuing to upgrade the user interface; (3) developing new search options for users.

Goals

The project’s primary goal is to create a user-friendly, searchable, accurate database of films for film scholars, students, and film buffs to use. The basis of this is already in place, but there is a lot of room for expanding the types of search that are possible with it.

Constraints

The database is stored on AWS with the front end on a Bucknell server. Any and all projects done by the senior design team would have to be mindful of the potential costs of using the database once it goes “live” to the public.

Impact

The potential impact of a public-facing version of the Film-Search Engine is a terrific resource for film scholars and film lovers. For the research team, it will be an opportunity to work on a “real world” project that will live on long after the specific students graduate – they will be able to see it grow over the years AND show potential employers/graduate programs how they contributed to it.

Resources

I have all of the necessary software. Last year’s team did not need any additional resources.

Group Summary

Update an existing Film Search database with an automatic film upload process and a more interactive user intuitive interface.

Identified Pains

Legal issues – copyrights issues

Search options are not specific

Working on an existing project, learning what other groups already achieved and how they did

Proposed Problem Description

My Film Search Engine requires a lot of time and effort to upload films and the user interface is difficult to navigate. The possible search options for movies are also limited. Please develop novel solutions to these problems.

Proposed Goals

An aesthetically pleasing user interface

More search options

• Find a way to identify which films are being accessed on the site and which films that users would prefer to have on the site
• Identify different methods for searching (search for a specific actor)
• Having a source where users upload / keep the film data up to date could lead to a helpful community that works together to provide and utilize resources

Project Description

We would like to involve Mount Carmel Area High School students in a project to promote healthy eating and minimizing food waste, We also would like to promote volunteerism at the pantry by these students; a certain number of community service hours is a graduation requirement and we would also like to educate them about the importance of the pantry to the community. We believe these students can best be reached through digital means.

 

Goals

We want to create a community emphasis on eating better – both by adults in their decision on what food items to select at the pantry and by high school students who should be starting to think for themselves. We have a need for more volunteers, and we are hoping committed high school students can help us meet that need.

Constraints

Privacy of both clients and volunteers is naturally a priority, Also, high school students are computer-savvy; a large percentage of the food pantry clienete is not.

Impact

A healthier community; more community engagement by students of high school age.

Resources

I honestly do not know what additional resources are needed beyond software.

Group Summary

The customer would like to use digital means to promote healthy eating and to minimize food waste. They would also like to promote volunteerism. To us, this seems like more of a digital design kind of project – posters and the such. “Digital means” needs to be more specific in order for us to flesh out any kind of program. However, it really seems that what the customer needs is a marketing campaign rather than software.

Identified Pains

The largest pain of this project is figuring out what digital means to use to reach the students. Again, this seems like more of a job for design students. I believe a poster campaign and maybe a school speaker could accomplish what the school wants. The student government could also start a food recycling campaign by putting out “green buckets” for food scraps to be collected in.

 

Proposed Problem Description

We would like to create a way to encourage students to eat healthy while also encouraging them to minimize the food that they waste. Furthermore, we would likes to create a way to encourage students to volunteer at the food pantry in order to instill appreciation of helping the community.

Existing app: for healthy eating many apps exist. Example is myFitnessPal where you can track calories and macros of the foods that you are consuming.

Proposed Goals

The outcome of this project should show an increase in healthy eating on campus, a decrease of food waste, and an increase in the number of volunteer hours by students on campus.

• Fitting volunteer hours into students’ weekly schedule
• Gamification of the volunteering/eating well
• System to keep track of eating habits/volunteering – more data = more aware

Project Description

Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) is an emerging strategy for tackling severe food allergies, and has received attention for its success with small children who suffer from severe reactions to peanuts. However, it takes a lot of patience and documentation.

Patients must take a daily dose of peanut solution, which slowly increases over the course of the year. They need to document the time, and refrain from exercising for more than 2 hours afterwards.

I’d like to build a voice app (Alexa) that 1. reminds children to take their daily dose, 2. documents the time of dose everyday, 3. Includes a timer that children can query about how long they need to refrain from exercising, and 4. encourages children to keep up their ‘work’.

Goals

– automatically provide documentation for parents (which they can pass on to an allergist)
– encourage children to keep up their doses every day.

Constraints

Children who can’t read should be able to seamlessly interact with it.

Impact

OIT is an emerging strategy that is rapidly gaining in popularity. A specialized app would be great.

Resources

Depending on the direction it went, we might need to purchase something like an Echo Dot.

Group Summary

Essentially the customer would like us to make an application that reminds children to take a dose of medicine in order to help cure their peanut (or other) allergies. It should also document dosage and time dose was taken as well as any other metrics that might be considered useful. The customer would like this to be compatible with Amazon’s Alexa – specifically using it as a way to remind the child when to dose and how much to dose.  The customer would like this app to be usable for a child that cannot read.

Identified Pains

Making this app accessible for those who cannot read.
Creating physician quality documentation could be difficult – we would need to consult with a doctor to see what their forms generally look like.

Any complications in the application could easily lead to patient DEATH.

Proposed Problem Description

Create a voice capable application to aid parents in properly dosing and recording their child’s treatment plan. This should create comprehensive, physician grade documentation.

Proposed Goals

Create a product capable of being interacted with by voice and capable of producing physician grade documentation. Said solution should also remind patients when to dose and how much to dose.

• Notify multiple people, like a trusted contact list when someone doesn’t mark that they took their medication
  • Could be an escalation list like Mom -> Dad -> Doctor -> Ambulance
• Body sensors that can detect severe allergic reactions. This can then notify emergency services/contacts. these sensors would also be able to detect activity after treatment to allow patients to follow treatment plan
• Something that can adjust treatment as you go. Integration with Google/Apple/Whatever calendar
