Outreach

Outreach is a web-application that bridges the communication gap between immigrant parents and middle school teachers to aid in student learning. We realize that when parents are engaged in their children’s academic lives, students are more often to excel. Teachers will be able to communicate with parents through a web application enabling them to send out weekly messages to encourage conversation within the home. Our goal as a collective is to create a family inclusive environment for immigrant parents that struggle to get their children to college.

Postcomet

Age Friendly Seattle's Civic Coffee Hour has been an essential informational event for Seattle's older adult population, especially among immigrants and refugees, for the past decade. Now Civic Coffee Hour must expand to Seattle community centers, but participants still need to be able to participate in a live, online Q&A event. We created Postcomet, a solution that integrates SMS into YouTube Live broadcasts, allowing users to participate in the event regardless of their viewing location. This allows people to connect to live events & live speakers though technologies they already understand: YouTube and text messaging.

Privasee

It is no doubt that employees are the powerhouse of our companies. However, employee negligence and human error are some of the main causes of data breaches. This costs nearly $4 million on average for a business in the U.S., posing great security and financial risks. PrivaSee is a platform where security professionals can easily identify the exploitable employee public data and take action to mitigate the risks right away. This allows our clients to fully focus on their business objectives while they continue providing necessary resources for the employees.

Pseudo-crypto currencies and their implications

With the rapid transformation to the digital age, one sector that has changed the least is the banking and financial sector. After the creating of the first cryptocurrency, there has been an eager push to use this technology to benefit humanity by creating new technologies that harness the power of a decentralized system. Every new technology is a double-edged sword. It can be used to benefit people as well as suppress them if used incorrectly. There have been efforts by organizations as well as countries to use cryptocurrency to collect personal data and evade sanctions.

PUSHSPRING Marketplace Search

Our marketplace search recommender system is a web app that users can use to explore the apps related to a persona or a given mobile app based on PushSpring's local user data rather than average result such as the ones Google gives. Our system was implemented with both CNN and NLP to maximize diversity and relevancy in recommendations. Combining benefits from both content-based and user-based recommendation models, our model produces valuable insights that can't be found elsewhere.

Raise Wages Now

Our sponsor, Raise Wages Now, needs a tool for its members to build profiles which engage and incentivize them to answer more questions. Our main work is creating a member information collection tool, or a profile builder. As our sponsor uses the Drupal, a content management platform, on their website, our solution is to design a new Drupal module that we can add onto theirs. The main technologies we used in our solution were PHP for the back-end and Vue.js for the front-end.

Remote Stroke Rehabilitation on VR

Stroke survivors need constant and effective rehabilitation to restore their life to normal, but not everyone can afford the time and money to visit doctors or care centers. Building a VR rehabilitation product, we bring the medical professionals to patients at home, monitoring their rehabilitation data, connecting doctors and patients online, and providing dynamic advice to speed up their rehabilitation progress. The product makes their rehab experience cheaper and more efficient with AI monitored exercises. With our project, our sponsor Kaspect can work on combining clinical side experience with patient side and begin experimenting with this new experience

Seattle Children's Hospital Website Enhancements

Seattle Children’s Hospital offers many resources that can make a significant difference in the quality of life for patient families. Ranging from food banks, to gas reimbursement, to unit food delivery, these critical resources are hidden within the information architecture of their website. Our mission is to centralize available resources so families can easily find resources relevant to their situations. The addition of a family resources tab allows families to quickly and easily discover, identify, and utilize the resources available.

Seattle Children’s Hospital Food Pantry

The food pantry program within the Seattle Children’s Hospital offers food to some outpatients and any inpatients families for free. Currently, the staff needs to make updates manually and perform weekly inventory updates based on food availability. A transition from the current physical order form to an online form would benefit from automatic form rendering based on food availability in the pantry and easier food inventory tracking. Additionally, an online application allows for more customizations, such as generating the form in a patient’s native language. Our mission is to make the ordering process as seamless and intuitive as possible.
