PhamilyHealth Project
Project Motivation
Project Motivation: interpersonal relationships such as families and friends are an important source of support and encouragement to those who seek to engage in healthier habits. However, challenges related to geographic distance may hinder those relationships from fully collaborating and engaging in healthy living together.
Project Goal: develop and deploy a lightweight photo-based application called PhamilySpace to examine family members and friends engagement and awareness on healthy behaviors while living apart
