# e-halo
An app which helps its users drop their vaping addictions. Created with Google Firebase, Android Studio and Adobe Illustrator. For ind-depth information and screenshots, please see the commited "Pitch.pdf".
## The Problem
* Vaping usage amongst North American adolescents is rapidly increasing
* Teens who use vapes are more likely to start smoking cigarettes
* Vaping can:
* Lead to nicotine dependence
* Affect memory, concentration, and alter teen brain development
* Reduce impulse control and cause behavioural and cognitive problems
## The Solution
We created e-halo, a mobile application intended to positively guide the youth to stop vaping. Derived and combined from the words “exhale” and “halo”, e-halo is a guiding application to encourage adolescents to stop inhaling and start seeing towards a brighter future.
## How e-halo works
#### Gamification
Using daily streaks and weekly goals, the app encourages staying clean from vaping on a daily, consistent basis.
#### Friendly Competition
Using leaderboards, ranks, and friend rosters, the friendly competition adds more excitement for friends quitting together.
#### Positive Encouragement
Using positive words and helpful tips, users are encouraged to stop vaping for their own health benefit.
## Features
* Daily Streaks: Amount of consistent days vape-clean
* Friend Roster: Add friends and support each other
* Leaderboard: Compete with others around the world
* Ranking: Get a higher streak in order to unlock bronze, silver, and gold ranks
* Goals: Set weekly and monthly goals for yourself
