Problem

CSUB’s Student Health Services runs multi-week wellness challenges using paper passports that require manual event check-in, hand verification, clicker counts, and paper scoring, creating significant administrative burden for staff. The current system lacks automated participation tracking and provides no automated capture of attendance, completion, prize eligibility, or learning-outcome data. A digital passport is needed to reduce the administrative burden and improve student experience while freeing up staff to focus on direct student engagement.

Technical Solution

The Get Stuff Done team developed a mobile-first digital wellness passport for CSU Bakersfield Student Health Services that replaces paper passports and hand-counted attendance with QR check-in, instant scoring, and AI-written health education. The React and TypeScript front end is an installable progressive web app with offline support, hosted on Amazon S3 (cloud storage) and delivered through Amazon CloudFront (content delivery network), which also fronts the API. That API is a FastAPI application split across ten AWS Lambda (serverless compute) functions behind Amazon API Gateway (API layer), with every challenge, task, enrollment, check-in, assessment response, and audit record stored across twelve Amazon DynamoDB (NoSQL database) tables. Students sign in through a campus SAML single sign-on seam that keeps only an opaque identifier and no protected health information, then scan a staff-displayed QR code at each event to record attendance automatically. Amazon Bedrock (managed generative AI) composes the personalized health tip a student receives after each check-in and powers a themed conversational wellness guide, with all model calls kept server-side behind deterministic guardrails that refuse medical advice, deflect questions outside SHS-approved topics, and route crisis signals straight to 988 and campus counseling rather than leaving that judgment to the model. Multiple-choice knowledge checks score instantly and written reflections are graded against rubrics mapped to learning-outcome tags, feeding reports that aggregate participation, attendance, engagement, and outcome scores with a CSV export for prize eligibility. The result gives Student Health Services automated attendance capture in place of clicker counts and paper scoring, freeing staff hours for direct student engagement.
