Intro

A simple, unique app to spread awareness among women about breast cancer. We empower women to take charge of their health by encouraging breast self examination (BSE) every month.

Salient Features

• 🎯 Targets women mainly of the age group 20 and above

• 🤩 Simple yet catchy UI and ease of interaction

• 🔥 Powerful backend with Firebase

• 🗒️ Informative home screen with resources about breast cancer

• 🪜 Step-by-step guidance for performing BSE

• 🩺 Analysis of test results and showing nearest doctors

How to test?

• Clone or download this repository from GitHub to your local machine (https://github.com/Sravya2007/Pink-Ribbon).

• Install Node.js on your computer, if it is not already installed.

• Go to the command line and navigate to the location where you saved the folder using cd <FolderLocation>/<FolderName>

• Run the command npm install to install the project dependencies.

• Install the Expo CLI globally by running the command npm install -g expo-cli.

• Download the Expo Go app on your mobile device from the App Store or Google Play Store.

• Launch the Expo Go app on your mobile device and scan the QR code displayed in the terminal or browser window that opened after running npx expo start.

• Wait for the app to build and load on your mobile device. You should now be able to test the app on your device.

Note: You may not be able to test the app because config.js (containing firebase configuration) is missing. You can create a new firebase app, or if the config.js file has been shared with you, add it to the project directory and then test the app.

Future Plans

• We plan to expand our app to deal with breast cancer in men

• In tier 2 or tier 3 cities there may not be any breast oncologists available. We need to add a feature to suggest a general physician/gynecologist to users in these cities

• We need funding to be able to publish our app on the playstore or app store

• We also need funding to enable the push notification service, so that our users can receive timely notifications to do their BSE
