Orbit: Carer Management Platform

Orbit

---

This is the backend of our teams capstone project 'Orbit'. It is a platform designed to help users (carers) organise and manage the needs of individuals under their care and allows a collaborative capabalility with other family members that also care for that individual.

The platform allows users to set up profiles for individuals under their care.

• The caree profiles have important information about the individual including a bio, and needsList.
• These profiles can then be shared with other users using a uniqueId.
• All carers connected to the caree profile are able to edit the profile and more specifically add/remove and assign themselves a need from the needsList.
