Interaction with indoor plants can reduce physiological and psychological stress, based on previous psychological and neurological studies. In addition many people face a common issue of forgetting when to water their plants or how to take care of them. By creating a game-like app that helps users learn to care for their plants, the goal of this project was also to help reduce their stress levels.
Sprouts was built natively on iOS using Swift, with a custom back-end created with Node.js, Express, and mongoDB Atlas. The server is hosted on AmazonAWS EC2.
