UA-CIT Capstone Projects Go Live on Google Play, Showcasing Student Innovation Across Key Sectors
Demonstrating how technology can be harnessed to solve real-world challenges, graduating students of the College of Information Technology (CIT) of the University of the Assumption (UA) have successfully developed and deployed five innovative mobile applications as part of their capstone projects. The applications—SoilScope, MappaTerminal, MediMinder, AirHealth, and CalaQuest—highlight the students’ ability to transform academic knowledge into practical digital solutions that benefit communities, industries, and everyday users.
Now officially available on Google Play, these applications showcase the culmination of months of research, development, testing, and innovation by UA-CIT’s fourth-year students. Covering key sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, transportation, environmental monitoring, and disaster preparedness, the projects reflect the university’s commitment to producing graduates who can create meaningful technology solutions for society.
Leading the agriculture-focused innovations is SoilScope, an AI-powered mobile application developed by Jerome Howard S. Miclat, together with team members Nathaniel V. Manansala and Jan Raymond Z. Soriano, under the guidance of Mr. Mark Anthony D. Madalipay. Designed for small-scale farmers and home gardeners, SoilScope utilizes an offline Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to identify soil types such as Red, Black, Cinder, and Alluvial soils. The application also features an AI-powered chatbot that provides crop recommendations, helping users make informed farming decisions even in areas with limited internet connectivity.
Addressing transportation accessibility within Pampanga, MappaTerminal was developed by Karl Moses G. Marron, with team members Darren C. Muldong and Reyven Kenjy Y. Sanchez, under the supervision of Ms. Maribeth G. Rivera. The application serves as a digital transportation guide, allowing commuters to search for jeepney, bus, and mini-bus terminal information across the City of San Fernando. Equipped with route navigation and an integrated chatbot, MappaTerminal aims to simplify public transportation planning and improve commuter convenience.
In the healthcare sector, MediMinder offers a practical solution for medication management. Developed by Cedric James G. Lumawig, alongside Frunez Shyna D. Cayanan and Lance P. Chincuanco, under the advisership of Jonilo C. Mababa, DIT, the application helps users maintain their medication schedules through automated reminders and notifications. It also tracks medicine inventories and alerts users about upcoming expiration dates, promoting better adherence to prescribed treatments and supporting healthier lifestyles.
Environmental awareness and public health take center stage in AirHealth, a mobile application created by Sherwin Ahron N. Santos, Michael Lloyd P. Lao, and Krista Jezel S. Pelayo, under the guidance of Dr. Jonilo C. Mababa. Leveraging data from the Google Air Quality API, AirHealth provides real-time air quality monitoring, hazard reporting, and personalized health advisories. By delivering timely alerts based on pollutant levels such as PM2.5, PM10, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide, the application empowers users to make proactive decisions regarding their health and safety.
Completing the lineup is CalaQuest, a gamified educational platform developed by Mark Yasher P. Santos, together with Brixter B. Bondoc and Daniel A. Manarang, under the supervision of Dr. Jonilo C. Mababa. Designed specifically for elementary learners, CalaQuest promotes disaster preparedness and disaster literacy through interactive lessons, quizzes, and engaging gameplay. By making disaster education enjoyable and accessible, the application seeks to cultivate a culture of preparedness among young Filipinos.
The successful deployment of these applications reflects the University of the Assumption College of Information Technology’s commitment to producing industry-ready graduates capable of developing technology-driven solutions for contemporary challenges. More than academic requirements, these capstone projects demonstrate how student innovation can contribute to agriculture, healthcare, transportation, environmental sustainability, and community resilience—showcasing the transformative potential of information technology in improving lives and strengthening communities.
As these applications become publicly accessible through Google Play, they provide tangible examples of how academic research and software development can be translated into tools that address real-world problems. The projects not only highlight the technical expertise and creativity of UA-CIT students but also underscore the university’s mission of fostering innovation that creates lasting impact beyond the classroom.
