Sleep Shift Scheduling Tool

Sleep loss and fatigue may lead to reduced performance and an increased risk to safety during many activities, including spaceflight. Your challenge is to develop an operational sleep shift scheduling tool that provides autonomous customization of a schedule for sleep, exercise, and nutrition to manage fatigue.

Dreams from The Stars

Summary

We will develop a mobile application, consisting of three parts, the first part will be a section for information and questions about sleep methods and how to sleep in space and vehicles, the second part will be about the food system, proper food in space, and correct exercises in order to live a good life in the space, the third part will be connected to a device that we will make that can determine the conditions surrounding you in terms of sound, pressure, oxygen level and based on those cases will give you the best advice for your current situation and help you.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We have developed a mobile application that works to help people in space in various ways, in the first part it will be devoted to sleep, sleep methods, and the way to adjust your sleep times in space to get the best amount of energy, the second part will be devoted to exercises and a healthy food system in order to live a healthy life and a third part will be paired with a device that measures the atmosphere surrounding you and gives you the best advice.


Our project is extremely valuable as it will work to control life in space and reduce the suffering that may result due to individuals' lack of awareness of the correct ways to live in space and to act as an assistant to them.


Our project works to solve these problems in all ways by providing a library with information and most of the questions that may occur to your mind, and the device will work to provide the best information regarding your situation and your inputs.


We hope that this project will really help a lot and that it will be worked on in reality and with a greater perspective, as I see that it will be a breakthrough and progress in the space field, and we are also working on updates and other developments to be more professional, such as creating our own site.

How We Developed This Project

After a thorough research, we concluded that this challenge is one of the best challenges that we can work on, and we were able to come up with an excellent approach to solve this problem, especially since few are interested in this matter, so we looked for problems and how we can treat them in an easy and practical way, and we reached our project and saw that it would be solved Many problems, in a simple and inexpensive way, we started working on.


Unfortunately, we learned about the hackathon too late, so we looked for the best and fastest way to create it, and we built the project step by step in order not to forget any problem, so we started with the first part, the second and the third to solve all problems, and in the end we produced an excellent application and the rest of the basics, and we hope to develop it, And improve it and change programming languages ​​and codes and make it smoother


In the beginning, we were going to make the application through Flutter, but we encountered some problems in the programs and downloaded them, and as long as time was running out for us, we came to making the application through the MIT App Inventor, and the result was easy and of excellent quality, and we made a model of the device using Arduino and Arduino code.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

The websites of space agencies have helped us, as they were a reliable and easy source for obtaining the required information and deducing some of the problems that the astronauts face during sleep or times of sleep, food and exercise, and we were able to identify the missing problems and put out many information for the benefit of the astronauts.


We were in the beginning not sure of the normal websites and we saw that most of the information is not completely reliable, but during the space agencies we got information in an easy and fast way and deduced what we will write in an organized manner.
