Learning Journey
Learning Journey
During the development of the project, our team learned a lot about organization, communication, and teamwork. We faced technical challenges, especially in Python programming, where we had difficulties structuring the interface and integrating functionalities. To support our learning, we used artificial intelligence tools to answer questions and better understand concepts. In addition, we encountered non-technical issues, mainly related to task division and aligning ideas. To overcome these challenges, we improved our communication, better organized each member’s responsibilities, and collaborated more effectively. Throughout the process, we conducted constant testing and adjustments, achieving a more efficient result.
Information Legitimacy Description
To ensure reliability, Lume uses only official and recognized sources, such as the World Health Organization, scientific articles, and government agencies. In addition, all information goes through a rigorous internal curation process, in which it is analyzed, reviewed, and manually validated by a team member. This care ensures greater accuracy, reduces the risk of errors, and guarantees that only verified content is integrated into the application and used in communications, promoting safety, credibility, and trust for users in an ethical and transparent manner at every stage of the process.

Our team considered ethics from the very beginning of development. Regarding data
privacy, measures such as encryption and secure storage were adopted, ensuring that user
information is protected and used only with consent. Attention was also given to bias and
potential harm to specific groups, especially neurodivergent people, avoiding stereotypes
and discrimination. The application was developed to promote inclusion and respect,
ensuring that its functionalities fairly serve different user profiles without causing harm or
exclusion.
