Care App

A Flutter mobile app connecting families with caregivers for at-home elderly care. Families browse caregiver profiles, book time slots, and track care sessions. Caregivers manage their availability and receive bookings in real-time. Solves fragmented caregiving by centralizing bookings, ratings, and payment.

Build StackFlutter, Firebase (auth & messaging), Dart, REST API backend, Stripe (payments)

Challenges

  • Real-time availability updates as caregivers accept or decline bookings

  • Managing user trust (caregiver verification, background checks, ratings)

  • Handling sensitive health information and care notes securely

  • Supporting offline booking (queuing) when network is unreliable

Solutions

  • Firebase Realtime Database for instant availability sync across app instances

  • User verification flow with document upload; public caregiver ratings and reviews

  • End-to-end encryption for health notes; role-based access (family can't see other families' data)

  • Local SQLite cache; sync queue for bookings made offline
