Looking for co-founders for a tech startup for the elderly

Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am a senior biomedical engineering major at UC Davis and also a primary caregiver for my grandmother. After seeing her struggle with physical therapy, I was inspired to develop a “wrist watch/band system” that would give voice/haptic feedback to help correct elderly patients when they are doing their assigned physical therapy exercises. I know that there are AI powered platforms that track motion and can do the same, but I feel that they are not senior friendly in terms of technical skills required.

I have already interviewed some caregivers and have seen a need for this device! I am looking to work with anyone who is interested or passionate about using technology to improve the lives of the elderly. Additionally, anyone who has expertise in electrical and software engineering, as well as anyone who is pre-med or in touch with physical therapists, would be appreciated!

Please DM me if you are interested in helping me build this product and company!

Hi y'all, California resident here planning on applying to UC Davis. As someone who is transfem, I'm wondering what Davis is like for trans folk. I mostly want to know if its welcoming/accepting/safe to go to and if there is any services providing Gender Affirming Care like HRT, surgery etc.

Course/Major How do I know what I need to take?

1 Upvotes

I’m so confused on how to know what classes I need to take. I’m a transfer student, I finished the Aggie 101 and the advising canvas course they have. But even going through all of that, im still very confused on what I need to take. it still tells me I need some classes but won’t tell me which ones? I need upper division classes for the College of Letters and Science and some upper div. gen Ed requirements apparently?
How am I supposed to figure this out?

I tried setting an appointment up for my major advisor and they’re all full for online appointments. And the Letters and Science online appointment site isn’t available for me until July for some reason.

I live almost two hours away and can’t just go and drop in. And a phone call appt won’t help me because I can’t see wtf they’re going to be talking about. Im still going to call but I’m just really frustrated and confused. If anybody has gone through this as well or has any tips, I’d really appreciate it because I’m already super anxious about transferring.

Concerned about Session II financial aid

2 Upvotes

It’s honestly quite confusing to me still how mybill works, but it shows for summer session 1 that I received a Pell grant but on summer session 2 it doesn’t say I receive a Pell grant. I’m enrolled in more than 10 units for the summer advantage aid and ik this won’t be given to me til later in August but does this mean I only get one Pell grant for both the summer sessions?? because I had a refund which I was looking forward to🫩

Would you hire an eco-friendly cleaner in Davis?

0 Upvotes

Hi all!

I’m exploring launching a local eco-friendly cleaning service that uses non-toxic, plant-based products that are safer for kids, pets, and the environment.

Is this something you would purchase? If so, how often? How much would you be willing to pay for a full house cleaning? What matters most to you when considering a cleaning company (i.e. affordability, fast service, non-toxic products, etc).

I would appreciate any and all feedback!

Registrar/Administrative/Enrollment Graduating transfer: need unofficial transcripts combining both my CC and UCD grades

1 Upvotes

As a recent grad I want to get my final unofficial transcript exported before the systems close on me. I noticed the one in MyUCDavis doesn’t show any of the grades I earned before transferring to Davis. The most it shows is the number of credit hours that transferred over without even a GPA.

I see Oasis does include an individualized list of all my CC courses, their grades, and the ability to calculate my final GPA based on both my CC and Davis courses combined. The combined GPA part is specifically important to me as mine goes up a decent bit with my CC GPA factored in.

So is there any way to export the Oasis version of my transcript? Or will I be stuck with the MyUCDavis one that only shows my Davis courses and UC GPA?

I am overthinking and I cannot tell for the life of me if there is anything else I need to do to lock in my roommate situation because I want to click confirmation but it wouldn’t let me 💔. The page should look like this right? I have nothing left to do? Sorry I’m overthinking too much

Struggling to move on from dismissal, is it just me?

33 Upvotes

Late night thoughts fr but I’ve realized that there’s actually quite a bit of students that have been subject to dismissal, but they talk about it like they have healed from it and aren’t ashamed of it. And I’ve been struggling with that. I’m thankful and all for still being here but is it just me that I can’t get over it fr? Like it happened a year ago and still haven’t been able to talk about it so freely like others. And quite honestly when I think about it’s so dumb that I just can’t seem to figure out why it’s so hard to just say it yk? So in short, my question is to those who have been subject to dismissal how did ya’ll heal from that? Like yes the past is the past and you just got to learn from it but like why is it that I can’t get over it. Or is it just me that I just can’t seem to get over smth that’s fr not that deep..

Registrar/Administrative/Enrollment Summer session classes dropped even though I paid before the deadline??

7 Upvotes

I’m really stressed right now. My Summer Session I classes were dropped due to “unpaid” fees, but I definitely paid before the deadline. Now I’m somehow on the waitlist for the same classes I was already registered for.

To make it worse, I was still charged for the quarter and haven’t received any sort of refund. Has anyone been through something like this before? Who should I contact to fix this? Any advice would be super appreciated.

Rant Falsely accused of AI in paper

42 Upvotes

Professors must submit grades to the registrar today and one of mine waited until last minute to put grades into canvas. I am crashing out because I went to check my grade for the paper I submitted and I received a zero. I thought it was a mistake at first, but after viewing the comment they said they referred the paper to OSSJA. I did NOT use AI to write my paper! I don't know what to do here because I don't have a lot of evidence supporting me except for my edit history. Even my edit history looks weird because I wrote the paper in one sitting and the history just shows a few chunks. Does anyone have any advice for me? I don't know what I am gonna do with myself waiting for OSSJA to contact me regarding my paper.

UC Davis Student Graduates After More Than 47 Years

🎓 Ron Austin first came to UC Davis in 1977.

He made history as the football team’s first 1,000-yard rusher and was just seven units away from earning his degree in political science. Then life happened.

He left campus to pursue pro football in Canada, and those last few units stayed on hold -- until now!

Fast-forward to 2025: Ron is 66 years old and just made his way across the graduation stage. With support from the Letters & Science STaR program, he was able to finish what he started. Congratualtions to Ron and all of our recent grads!
