• Combination Tech/Consumer Product Service for Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) To Automate and Optimize Glucose Supplies for People with Diabetes

  PROJECT PARTNER // Gluconfidence

  PROJECT DESCRIPTION

  Gluconfidence is on a mission to reduce the daily burden of people with Diabetes, improve outcomes, and reduce costs to the health care system.  To deliver this mission,  Gluconfidence is combining the use of Continuous Glucose Monitors ( CGMs)  with an application to identify severe hypoglycemic episodes and then personalizes and optimize a monthly order of healthy, low calorie, all natural liquid glucose supplements, that are delivered direct to your door every month.  The service displays Blood Glucose responses to various activities to drive behavior change, and reduce  insulin usage among people with Diabetes.

  BENEFITS TO PROJECT CLIENT

  1. Create an  application that seamlessly ties into patient Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)  API  to track Blood Glucose trends, and creates optimized, personalized ordering of healthy glucose supplements

  2. Leverage Design Thinking to create simple, engaging user interface with metrics that drive behavior change for people with diabetes

  3. Reduce the daily burden of diabetes by linking App to Shopify store so that “your body creates the optimal order quantity, not your brain”

  PROJECT GOAL

  • Improve the short and long term Health Outcomes for Insulin Taking People with Diabetes
  • Reduce costly Hospital admissions, ER visits, and the over Utilization of Insulin
  • Deliver a data driven, tech enabled service that leverages consumer products to drive  behavior change and improved diabetes management

• Grouper Prototype

  PROJECT PARTNER // Gluconfidence

  PROJECT DESCRIPTION

  Grouper is a social messaging platform that connects people based on their interests, hobbies, and passions in a group messaging format.  Each group is capped at a specific amount of users to create intimacy and authenticity.  We are trying to build interest based communities.

  BENEFITS TO PROJECT CLIENT

  1. Created a working prototype that users can demo and test.

  2. Created the initial foundation and architecture that will be added to over time.

  3. They learned a new programming language and were able to implement it into the projecr.

  PROJECT GOAL

  The main goal was to get a working prototype to share with initial beta users and get feedback.  Also known as a MVP, Minimum Viable Product.  In creating software it is best to build an MVP to test with users and get feedback on what they like and do not like.

• Airport Concierge

  Team Name // CVG Airport

  PROJECT DESCRIPTION
  

  The Airport Concierge Project is about making life easier when at the CVG International Airport. A small assistant called a Segway Loomo Robot will soon be able to provide basic concierge needs, such as flight information, translation between languages, and even the ability to carry luggage to a terminal to lift some literal weight off passengers.

  BENEFITS TO PROJECT CLIENT

  1. Kickstarting project to see if it will be viable
  2. Starting translation feature and implementing code using the Loomo SDKs
  3. Potential navigation abilities after translation feature is finished

  PROJECT GOAL

  Our team has the goal of figuring out how to program the Segway Loomo Robot, and begin programming a translation feature. The CVG Airport has a large amount of French people come in and out of their terminals and would make life easier to have a translator available on command without pulling out your phone.

• BlackList

  Team Name // M&M

  PROJECT DESCRIPTION
  

  An application that uses facial recognition to identify customers / guests and denies access if they are on the blacklist. There’s a front end app that’ll recognize people and grant access and a back end app that’ll allow the business to alter the who is on the blacklist.

  BENEFITS TO PROJECT CLIENT

  1. Keep out unwanted customers / guests
  2. Reduce need for people to check customers / guests themselves
  3. Easily track who you don’t want at your business

• Drone Swarm

  Team Name // Team Alex

  PROJECT DESCRIPTION
  

  The drone swarm project is an ongoing capstone project that has been in the works for a few years now. The goal is to control a drone swarm and decentralize the decision making of that swarm. Essentially, the project is creating an algorithm to control the swarm autonomously.

  BENEFITS TO PROJECT CLIENT

  1. shows proof of concept if the team gets a drone flying on auto pilot
  2. gives the client a code base and the hardware to continue work on a major project
  3. may contribute to the client publishing the project

  PROJECT GOAL

  This project’s main goal is to develop an algorithm to control a drone swarm as they work to achieve an overarching goal. Our group’s primary goal this semester is to get at least one drone flying on autopilot to designated waypoints.

• Ulease

  Team Name // Louisville Leasers

  PROJECT DESCRIPTION
  

  We created an IOS and Android app that aids students in finding a sublease or find students to take their sublease. Within our app, students can search for sublets they want and filter by amenities, preferences, dates, etc. We also offer users the option of saving sublets that they like. Users can contact a sublet’s owner through email once they find a sublet they like. Additionally, users can post their sublets to the University they are associated with. Once a user posts a sublet, they will be able to edit and change if needed.

  BENEFITS TO PROJECT CLIENT

  The app will be solely accessible to students. Currently, universities offer “Facebook groups” to help their students find housing. Unfortunately, a group with so many students can often become disorganized. There is no way to search through properties or to see if a property is still available. There is no standard for what information is placed in a post; some posts could include pictures but no mention of neighborhood while others include detailed rent information but do not list roommate genders. Our app would fix these issues and make the housing transition as easy as possible.

  PROJECT GOAL

  One of the main issues University of Louisville students have when renting a home or apartment that is off campus is that they will often want to sublease their apartment for a part of the year. This issue is exacerbated by many engineering students that leave university to go on co op, study abroad students, or engineers in the global engineering track. On the other side of things, there are many students that do not want to sign a full lease, but end up doing so anyway because they do not know where they can sublease. This is a unique situation that college students often find themselves in that makes an already stressful process that much harder.
