The Solution
We did a requirements analysis and narrowed down the use cases to 3 different types of users -- those with WiFi/a smartphone in the field, those with just SMS capabilities, and those with just phone call capabilities. Through these use cases, we worked on an iOS app and two PHP applications using the Twilio API to help data be submitted. One Twilio app was an interactive voice app and the other was an SMS app which each allowed the user to fill out the survey with the designated survey questions. Additionally, since we were looking on an international scope, we had to factor in internationalizing the app by allowing it to be translatable for all three mediums. Through this project, we placed first in our category as well as first in the overall hackathon.
