This project is being created in the hope that it will be a benefit to individuals on the autism spectrum as well as their caregivers. Keeping track of behavioral trends, sleep patterns, diet, etc can be a daunting task for caregivers. Our aim is to create an open-source app that will make it simple to track this type of information and will also allow meaningful analysis of the data.
For this first phase we want to keep it simple. Just a simple app that runs on an Android device and allows data entry.
- All data will be stored on the device for this first phase
- We will start with entry of behaviors and get that working well before moving on to health, diet, and sleep
For phase 2 we want to add multi-user support. We all know that raising someone on the spectrum "takes a village" so we want to allow caregivers in all roles the ability to enter data. The idea being that the more data we can collect, the more helpful the analysis will be. Roles we have thought of so far:
- Self (if the individual on the spectrum is an adolescent or older then let's let them record their moods and feelings.)
- Parent
- Teacher
- Doctor
- Therapist
- After-school care or babysitter
This will require a server-side component to allow synchronization of data between multiple users. We need to explore if we can get hosting donated or somehow raise the funding for it.
For phase 3 we want to focus on building quality reports that provide meaningful feedback to caregivers.
- Add ios and web apps
- Send messages to other caregivers
- Reward system that tracks points that allow individual to earn a reward
- Allow location tracking of individual

The inspiration for this project came from The Spark Mobile App Contest Since we are not students we are not permitted to enter the contest, but we still thought there were some great ideas that are worth pursuing.
