Item For the Sake of Food: A Comprehensive Nutrition Platform for Promoting Healthier Lifestyles in Uganda(Uganda Christian University, 2024-05-10) Aguma Destiny Kampumure; Tracy Majorie Najjoba; Rochelle Katukunda; Moses AyebareThis document provides a comprehensive overview of the development process behind the "For the Sake of Food" nutrition recipe web application. For the Sake of Food’s primary aim was to empower individuals to make healthier dietary choices by offering convenient access to nutritious recipes tailored to their preferences. For the Sake of Food embarked on a methodical journey, employing a variety of research techniques to gain insights into user needs and behaviors. Through interviews and surveys, For the Sake of Food delved into the diverse dietary habits and technological proficiency levels of our target audience, ensuring the app's design catered to a broad spectrum of users. User testing played a pivotal role in refining the application's usability and functionality, with feedback from real users guiding iterative improvements. The team’s findings illuminated key user demographics, dietary preferences, and technological inclinations, informing the development of features such as personalized recipe recommendations and intuitive interfaces. Ethical considerations remained paramount throughout the project, with stringent measures in place to safeguard user privacy and ensure data security. “For The Sake of Food” also acknowledged inherent limitations, such as sample representativeness and resource constraints, which shaped the scope and depth of our research efforts. Ultimately, the systematic approach culminated in the creation of an application poised to positively impact users' dietary habits and overall well-being. By harnessing technology to promote healthier lifestyles, we endeavor to contribute to a healthier society.Item Project MindPeace Report(Uganda Christian University, 2024-04-26) Isaiah Mukisa ; Desire Namanya; Soul Solomon Sekamatte ; Peter Paul Jamugisa ; Conrad William Mabira1 in 5 people experience mental health challenges, the prevalence of mental health issues globally remains a pressing concern, with a significant proportion of affected individuals not receiving the necessary treatment due to barriers such as stigma, cost, and a shortage of skilled professionals. This report presents the MindPeace project, an online application designed to address these challenges by providing a user-friendly platform that connects working-class individuals aged 20 to 65 with skilled mental health practitioners. MindPeace aims to bridge the gap in access to mental health care, focusing on specific demographics and offering an alternative to informal support and self-medication. The project encompasses a comprehensive suite of features, including booking of sessions, an emergency helpline for crisis support, and a compatibility quiz for personalized counseling experiences. By leveraging technologies such as Cal.com integration for efficient appointment management, secure video chat for confidential sessions, and a robust emergency response system, MindPeace seeks to reduce the reliance on self-medication and improve mental health outcomes for its users. This report outlines the project's objectives, scope, and the functionalities it offers, highlighting its potential to significantly impact the accessibility and quality of mental health care for underserved populations.Item Pillpop Final Year Group Project Report(Uganda Christian University, 2024-05-10) Sarah Nsereko ; Daphine Kamusiime; Nkata Joshua Luyombya; Mukisa Hassan Bahati; Kasagga Gordon Kimera; Allan Smith NiringiyeA web application aimed at reminding users to take their medications which is a major problem in Uganda also called medication non-adherence called Pillpop was developed to solve this problem with additional features to further solve this problem, The application was developed due to a recent study on the health sector, which displayed that medication non-adherence is one of the problems troubling the health sector. Moreover, the problem was reflected in my lifestyle when it came to taking medications. The development of the application was done based on using email as a format of reminding users and all the other features within rotated based on the user’s data. Using different technologies e.g Nextjs and Django to develop the application, which relies on the data storage or backend a lot, and displays through the frontend hence the need for an interface that is easy to navigate for the users. During the application development, a lot of hostility was found especially when it came to collecting data and the effectiveness of reminding a user which is hard to achieve 100% because it all draws back to user integrity and I found that it not possible to solve all the problems within the one application but instead one problem at a time is better. The significance of the findings is that investment in technology can help or improve the efficiency of health since the digital generation/age is now the common or the norm meaning with the help of technology, the health of the users can improve, and it also a call to find ways of utilizing the available technology to improve one’s life quality .Item Help Annonymous Project Report(Uganda Christian University, 2024-04-26) Joshua Jasper Ashaba ; Nahum Okello ; Nabil Sengooba ; Gensi Collin Ikiriza; Karongo Keron Kansiime ; Elizabeth AmandaNamaleThe "Help Anonymous" project, developed by a team from Uganda Christian University, represents a transformative approach to mental health support. Our application creates a safe space for anonymous dialogue, offering peer support, professional advice, and educational resources, thereby making mental health care accessible to a broader audience. This community-driven platform has shown significant user engagement and an increase in mental health awareness, demonstrating the effectiveness of our strategies. As a collective, we are proud to contribute to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), by providing a platform that fosters open conversations on mental health and supports inclusivity. Our project underscores the importance of community and technology in breaking down barriers to mental health care and destigmatizing the pursuit of help. Moving forward, we are committed to enhancing our platform's reach and impact, driving positive change in the realm of mental health.Item Automated Diagnosis and Classification of Coffee Plant Diseases Using Deep Learning(Uganda Christian University, 2023-05-08) Isaac Arou Mayol; Wilson Nyumbe; Momodou Jallow; Brian Mung’oka MutuaThis project addresses the critical challenge faced by coffee farmers in the early detection and management of diseases affecting coffee plants. Late identification often leads to significant crop loss, exacerbating poverty and food insecurity among farmers. The project: the Automated Diagnosis and Classification of Coffee Plant Diseases Using Deep Learning, provided an innovative solution. This solution utilizes a mobile application equipped with a trained deep learning model to enable farmers to detect diseases in their coffee crops early on. Through the use of image recognition technology, the application, powered by a deep learning model of 95.83% accuracy score, is able to accurately identify and classify diseases, empowering farmers to take timely and appropriate measures to prevent the spread of diseases and minimize crop loss. The project helps mitigate economic loss, promote responsible pesticide use, and improve the livelihoods of coffee farmers. By leveraging technology to address a pressing agricultural issue, this project contributes to sustainable farming practices and food security in coffee-producing regions.
