APPLES Reflection I

One of the things our software is improving for our client is the connection and relationship between caregivers and patients. CareYaya caregivers are already going into patient homes consistently to help them– our app helps patients get a connection out of this interaction. Images generated from patient dreams by our app become conversation starters between caregivers and patients, enhancing the quality of care and support provided. This newfound connection fosters a stronger bond, allowing caregivers to better understand and empathize with their patients, leading to more personalized care and emotional support.

Another one of our client’s goals is to offer patients a source of entertainment. In addition to the project’s more serious aspects, the app is designed to be enjoyable for patients. Our client believes that allowing patients to visually explore their dreams would be an engaging and exciting pastime. Hence, the purpose of our app is to transform patients’ brainwaves into images. Once these images are generated, patients can view them at their leisure, demonstrating the app’s entertainment capabilities.

The third problem our app addresses is the collection of data for CareYaya to analyze. CareYaya wants to use the data collected on patient brainwaves to ensure the health of the patients. Our app provides an additional incentive for patients to wear the headset and have that important data collected.
