Caffeine Intake Tracker

Welcome to the Caffeine Intake Tracker. The wellness app that helps you become more aware of your caffeine intake along with your mood and sleep levels.

Background

The problem this app resolves is that in which people usually intake a specific amount of caffeine on a regular basis. But some people, like myself, do not realize if the amount of caffeine they intake is more than how much one should normally be consuming.

This is a problem because:

• anything consumed in excess is harmful

• excess coffee, or highly caffeinated drinks could be correlated to health issues such as anxiety, stress, or insomnia.

• In addition, the problem is not being educated enough on how much caffeine different drinks contain

  • such as an iced latte vs. iced coffee
  • different brands such as Starbucks vs. Dunkin Donuts.
