Project Description:

The client Satinder Sahota approached us to create a Bi-lingual mobile first website which should be displayed in both English and Punjabi Language. The client also requested certain functionalities like newsletters, memberships, donations, events etc. which have been implemented in the product. The team consisted of 6 members and each member had their respective roles in the development of the project. The main users of this product are the members/volunteers and the BOD. As a solution to this project we started developing the website and the software used for the development of the website is WordPress and to further implement the functionalities asked by the client we have used certain plugins like Event Manager, newsletter, Elementor etc. This is a standalone system so there are no adjacent systems or dependencies. By taking this project we all have gained new knowledge of WordPress and web development and are confident in working on projects from now on. The website was developed locally and then later migrated to a hosting server. The hosting service we used was Rebel which operates within Canada. All rules and regulations have been followed during the making of this project. Since the client has asked for a responsive website the website is tested to run flawlessly in Mobile view and Tablet view. Overall this was a great experience to know hands on what a work environment feels like.

Project Description:

In January 2020, the City of Ottawa declared a housing and homelessness emergency. Immediately following the announcement COVID-19 reached the pandemic level, leaving the already vulnerable homeless and precariously housed populations to experiencing greater challenges.

Through our partnership with the Alliance to End Homelessness, the Victimology Research Centre’s new project is studying the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on homeless populations in Ottawa through a service provider lens. The COVID-19 and Systematic Responses to Homelessness project is examining how the global pandemic has affected system responses to homelessness, the potential gaps and barriers that are being experienced by homeless people, and what innovations in service provision are being developed to adapt to the pandemic.

The project is comprised of two phases. In phase 1, qualitative interviews are completed for data collection purposes. The focus of phase 1 is system mapping and preliminary data collection which will be done through online and telephone interviews with service providers.
In phase 2, the project will move forward with ethics approval for additional data collection through surveys, focus groups, and interviews with service providers and people with lived experience.

From this project, two products will be made. The first is a COVID-19 Housing & Homelessness Sector Map which will outline the challenges and opportunities experienced by homeless people in Ottawa during the pandemic. The second is a report to the City of Ottawa, measuring the response of COVID-19 in the homeless sector.

Project Description:

Our project group DYNAMIX is a team of 6 members. Our goal is to develop a website that allows users to search the repository for different sensory activities by category and/or materials. Chantal Lavergne, our client wants to develop a platform for parents and educators to search and find different kid’s activities. . We are developing a website in WordPress which will fulfill the client’s requirements. This website can benefit the users to find different activities from different websites in a single interface.
Sensory play provides us with links of various activities which helps children to stimulate their senses. These activities help children to develop and improve their social skills such as coordination etc. and helps in stimulating their brain. These exercises make children more focused , improve social interaction and concentration, enhance their confidence and self-awareness. Moreover, these activities help children to reduce stress and anxiety, and improve self-esteem.
The final website will contain advanced search options where parents can find hundreds of activities. This website will act like a library of kid’s activities where parents and educators can find multiple activities from single user interface.
The links of articles will be fetched from third party website and stored in the database using web scrapping and web crawling technology. Web crawling and web scrapping technology will keep the website up to date.
Each article should be approved by administrator. Once the article is approved the user will be able to see the activity in their search results. The multi- select search options will enable users to filter their search results by selecting the ingredients and categories. The main benefit of the website is they can see multiple activities of one category from multiple websites in a single user interface. Once they click the link of the activity it will redirect to the third-party website. The users have the option to save their favorite activities. Users can login to the website and save the articles. If they are facing any issues regarding login, they have the option to contact the administrator. Once the administrator receives the message from the user, they will be able to investigate the issue. There is another page named “work with us” which is mainly for other vendors who want to collaborate with the client. They can connect with the client using this page.
This project will help parents and educators to find kids activities easily. Advanced search options will help them to find the appropriate activities according to the availability of the ingredients. Users can use this website as a library for kid’s activities. It will help the parents to get their kids involved in fun as well as educational activities. Users can find different activities from different blogs by using one User interface.

Project Description:

Our clients is basically working on the cancer patents who are recovering from the condition called Lymphedema.
The main requirements of our client is to show her patents recovering and keep the track of the treatments that they are undergoing.
There are 4 main parts of the Treatment:
1) Manual Lymph Drainage massage (MLD)
2) Compression Therapy
3) Exercising
4) Skin Care

Recovery tracking solution
1) Keep a track of the exercise, compression Therapy, Manual Lymph Drainage Massage
2) Filling up report (Lymphedema Life Impact Scale).
3) Measurements/ Photos of their affect Lymph

She wanted to implement this functionality in the android app and make it digital.

So to find the solution to this problem we developed an android application that can tract the details of her patents
massage sessions, exercising , compression therapy into a database.
so that patents can see if how much they undergo through her treatment

Also, to track the recovery we have developed form named as LLIS (Lymphedema life impact scale ) as soon as the patents fills the form the doctor directly gets an e-mail of the form from the patent so that doctor can also see how well the patent is getting recovered.

Also we have implemented the functionality of measurements that a patent can write the measurement of their affected lymph and later on after under going the treatment they can again measure the lymph and see the difference in their condition.

Our future scope is to work on the security and storing photos into database.

Project Description:

Celiac disease is an immune disorder that causes severe illness upon ingesting gluten. This disease affects tens of millions of people worldwide and requires those afflicted with it to eat gluten-free foods. These gluten-free alternatives are generally far more expensive than the products that contain gluten, which can quickly add up over time. These costs can be offset by Canada’s disability tax credits, but this requires tracking how much money was spent on gluten-free foods that would not have been spent if non-gluten-free products had been purchased instead. This can be a very time-consuming process, and many people with celiac disease do not take advantage of the tax deductions that they are entitled to.
This Android application provides a more convenient way to track the price difference between gluten-free and non-gluten-free products as well as the tax deductions that individuals with celiac disease are eligible for. The Gluten Tracker app allows users to scan the UPCs of food products, compare their prices between gluten-free and regular products, save images of their receipts, maintain reports with their total deductible amount in a given period of time, export reports from the application, and more. All of these features make the disability tax credits far more accessible for individuals suffering from celiac disease.
Our team developed this application with a focus on accessibility and ease of use. To accomplish this, we spent a significant amount of time designing a user-friendly UI that allowed users to intuitively navigate the application and perform the actions they intended. Our team was also able to overcome many challenges, particularly with integrating the functionality of an API that was used to scan food product UPCs, in order to create a simple and effective application that could help individuals suffering from celiac disease benefit from the tax credits they are entitled to.

Project Description:

In our project, we created 3 chart.js charts which are the linear thermometer chart, back-to-back horizontal chart, super pie chart extending the current chart.js charts and using JavaScript, Node.js and HTML5 Canvases. Applicate who is our client wanted us to implement new charts which do not exist as chart.js chart. Also, the super pie chart exists in version 1 in chart.js but which is really old now so we were told to upgrade it to version 3. We decided to develop two new charts which are the linear thermometer and the back-to-back horizontal chart and upgrade the super pie chart. We implemented the linear thermometer chart in chart.js version 3 by extending the existing chart.js bar chart which shows the temperature. The back-to-back horizontal chart is created extending the horizontal bar chart which can display values on both sides of Y axes. In a super pie chart, each slice is divided into more slices to display data effectively. Super pie chart has been upgraded to version 3. Datasets can be enabled/disabled for all three charts.

Working on this project was a great experience and learning opportunity for us as we could learn about chart.js charts. We could successfully apply HTML5 Canvas, JavaScript and Node.js in our project successfully.
Although Applicate is the client of the project, the final product will be open-source and anyone can use them as chart.js charts are available under the MIT license. These chart.js charts are customizable, easy to use and can be added to any project with minimal effort i.e. it is easy to integrate into existing code. These charts are responsive, include legend, hover pop-ups and offer great performance for data visualization. When using these charts, the users can customize the colors as per their choice.
