VisiMedia at Royal Hackaway: The Inspiring Journey of Creating a Solution for Independence

VisiMedia at Royal Hackaway: The Inspiring Journey of Creating a Solution for Independence

Recently, our team at VisiMedia participated in the Royal Hackaway, a 24-hour hackathon focused on innovation and technology. Our goal was to create a product that could improve the quality of life for those with medical conditions, and what we developed was SafetyNet.

SafetyNet was inspired by one of our team members, Jess, who suffers from functional neurological disorder and has to deal with random seizures. She required the constant attention of a carer, which limited her independence and quality of life. Our team wanted to change that, and so we set out to create a solution that would allow Jess and others like her to have more freedom and peace of mind.

The result was SafetyNet, a mobile app that integrates with SMS notifications to check on the status of individuals with medical conditions. With this app, they can have their independence back while still having the ability to quickly alert their loved ones in the event of an emergency.

The Royal Hackaway was an intense and challenging experience, but our team was up for the challenge. We worked tirelessly for 24 hours, driven by our passion for innovation and our desire to make a difference in Jess's life and the lives of others like her. Our team consisted of developers, designers, and product managers who brought their diverse skillsets to the table, and together we created a solution that we were all proud of.

Even though we were not awarded the grand prize, our team was proud of what we had accomplished. The positive feedback from the judges and other participants was a testament to the impact that our technology could have on society. At VisiMedia, we believe in using our expertise in technology to make a real difference in the world, and SafetyNet is just the beginning.

The development of SafetyNet was a team effort, driven by our passion for innovation and our commitment to improving the quality of life for those with medical conditions. Our team member, Jess, was the inspiration behind the project, and her journey was a reminder of the impact that technology can have on individuals and society as a whole.

In conclusion, our experience at the Royal Hackaway was a journey of teamwork, innovation, and dedication. We're proud to have created SafetyNet, a solution that will make a real difference in the lives of those with medical conditions. At VisiMedia, we're passionate about using technology to create positive change in the world, and we're excited to see what the future holds for SafetyNet.
