Caremada Task List and Activity Feed

Project Description:

Caremada, an amalgamation of “care” and “armada”, is an Ottawa-based company whose goal is to provide a user-friendly mobile application that aims to facilitate the connection and interactions between local caregivers and clients necessitating their services. Caremada’s founder, Suki Lee, assigned our group with the development of a task list manager and activity feed to help organize appointments and to provide updates on the activities of a service provider while appointments are in progress.

Our team decided to take a simplistic approach in terms of design and user-interactivity. We display booked appointments and associated tasks by date and time, providing a history of past, current, and future appointments which are navigated through a drop-down calendar. Within each appointment displayed, buttons are provided to allow service providers to update the status of appointments and tasks, this includes: start, complete, cancel, and late. Service providers may view additional information and details provided by clients related to specific tasks (i.e. description, ward details, rules) on a separate page to keep the task list uncluttered. On the client side, the application provides the client with the ability to cancel tasks.

The activity feed displays updates that are sent from service provider to client regarding all appointment activities. For increased productivity, certain updates are automatically generated and sent when a service provider selects a button within the task manager to mark the start or end of an appointment, cancellations, or to inform their client that they are running late. The feed can also display personalized messages containing photo and video updates, which are sent from service provider to client. Users can interact with media updates to play videos, zoom into photos, and download them to their personal devices. Lastly, the feed will host a map previously developed by another student group which will assist in tracking the whereabouts of a service provider while an appointment is in progress.

The application will be available on iOS and Android.
