Not sure how late is too late but I'm glad this made it in time.
This project idea with something personal. Someone close to me had a cardiac episode while I was in a different country. The only updates I'd get were phone calls where they'd read out numbers neither of us understood. We'd both go "hmm that sounds fine" and move on. That sat with me for a while.
Wasn't planning to do anything health related for the makeathon. But the idea kept poking me. On the 9th day I gave in and started sketching.
A wearable patch that quietly monitors your heart. An app that tells you what's going on in plain english. And a caregiver view so the person sitting 3000 miles away isn't relying on a phone call and a "yeah I'm fine."
The process was chaotic in the best way. Started on Figma Make. Took the first generated screens and ran with them. Had the most fun with Weavy creating the patch videos. The animations were genuinely fun to figure out.
The screens themselves though? A mess. Make gave me layouts that needed serious cleanup. I worked with the agent, I wrote code, and of course I burned so many credits! Connected Claude through MCP and we fixed things together until the whole prototype actually worked. Like click through it, it works.
This is a working prototype of a much bigger idea. I know I'll keep evolving it well past the makeathon.

If this hits home for you the way it did for me, I'd really appreciate a like or a share.
