The Uplift App Project seeks a improvement of people’s life quality in isolation, both in Earth or outside of it.

The Uplift App also recommends physical exercises, nutricional tips and general activities to make the user maintains his physical and mental rhythm. Its difference between others apps is the fact that Uplift has many functions in itself. This is the reason why our projects adresses the challenge.

How We Developed This Project

What inspired the team to join this project was precisely the idea that this is the most seen situation in the world today, thus, something that needs a solution as soon as possible. Everyone contributed to the organization of the project by giving problems about isolation and trying to find solutions for people. We use the data provided by NASA in the part that tells us about the isolation in space that is experienced daily by the astronauts who are there. The tools used were public sites, such as Marvel and Canva, to graphically create the interfaces of the application and Wyx, to create the logo of the application. We had as problem the following question “ " How to cover, at the same time, a person who does not have access to the internet and an astronaut? ”. After much debate, we thought about the idea of volunteers, which was an achievement for us, in addition to being able to send the activities within the deadlines.
