Sparrow App

This repo contains code for Sparrow Android application. Sparrow App performs 3 major functions:

  1. Chat interface to talk with Sparrow
  2. Sparrow Mesh - Offline communication with community
  3. Sparrow Offline features

Sparrow App - Another interface to talk with Sparrow

Users can reach Sparrow through any chat interfaces like Whatsapp, FB Messenger, Viber, WeChat, SMS, etc.
But, Sparrow app enables the most feature rich communication.

One app for all communication

Sparrow app allows cross-platform communication - Users can send messages from Sparrow app to users on any other chat platforms.
The same app also is the interface to Sparrow Mesh - Sparrow mesh uses Wifi, BLE, Bluetooth, Sound waves to share messages with all nearby phones with Sparrow app. The resultant network is a P2P Mesh of Smartphones with Sparrow App, which enables people to communicate without internet or any additional hardware.

Sparrow App comes with one click share option for all EMR documents - Share documents to others via Sparrow mesh or any other medium of media share available on phones (NFC, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc)

Sparrow offline features

Sparrow app comes with many offline features to help medical workers and first responders - 
1. Note-taking

4. Track live location of people via Sparrow mesh
5. Send SOS messages by pressing power button 3 times

The list is potentially infinite!
