Mobile event access stations aka “Boarding ticket after Covid-19”
Let's be real, while conferences go online, on-site cultural events such as pop-concerts, arts fairs, symphonic orchestra concerts are doomed probably for the next 2 years, and while you hopefully think "we will get back to normal by August".. well, good luck! This will hit not only the events industry, but economy as such. What if we could come up with a solution that would ensure safer travel and opportunity for people to meet, while still undergoing COVID-19 restrictions? We see that plugging together event data + newest advancements in COVID-19 testing it would be possible!
What it does
Mobile event access stations aka “Boarding ticket after Covid-19”
is a mobile instant health-check station integrated with event-data to allow people attending cultural events in larger groups as soon as possible, while staying safe and not jeopardizing others.
With our new solution ,attending a concert / event would be the same as checking-in for a flight at an airport - yes, you'd need extra time, but it would be possible sooner.
This means:
1 : Ensuring fast health-check providing a result to the organiser and the visitor within 45 minutes
-Mobile health check & data points (e-gate /-s entering the concert hall)
-Collection of data and matching with the customer data (ID & ticket bar-codes)
-Result notification to the customer’s mobile phone & organiser’s data system
2: Providing a safe way to continue with on-site events
-Pre-agreed “boarding on the event” system to all customers (predefined timing slots 2 hrs before the event)
-Included in the even ticket) health check
How we built it
As we ourselves are organisers behind a cool cultural event (Riga Jurmala Music Festival) (in 2019, our inaugural season we brought together more than 15 500 classical music lovers from 50 countries) and we are sad to witness that as a representative of this industry we can either wait until further government's guidelines and / or figure yet another online streaming from the artist's living room, we are more than ready to work on a solution that would allow this industry not only to experience slow existing, but be ready to adopt to the "new normal" (yes, perhaps, slightly pessimistic prognosis, but this seem to be the case).
According to preliminary check, we do have a financial support, ticketing people aboard; we've tested the idea with the representatives of the public health institutions and the Ministry of Culture and the first support is already received.
Yet, we are looking for software, hardware developers, service designers, med-tech representatives.

From the recent events leading to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is clear that this crisis could have been contained at an early stage if Doctor Li Wenliang's(
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Wenliang
) warning was taken seriously instead of being dismissed by local authorities.In hindsight, we realize that timely intervention and preventive measures could have halted the rapid spread of covid-19 globally! The inspiration for our idea comes from the old adage -"Prevention is better than Cure!"
What does our app do
Our app/portal will give a "shout-out" platform for voices like that of Dr. Li, so that the concerns & warnings of "whistleblowers" can be automatically relayed out to their intended audience at all levels, which could include leading epidemioligsts, experts and medical/business/govt bodies of respective countries.
Why we believe in this idea
Our project/vision can help in saving innumerable lives and avert a global crisis like the one caused due to the Covid-19 virus. This platform would not be confined to healthcare related risks, but it can also become a platform to relay insights around various types of risks to experts across diverse fields(e.g. law enforcement, healthcare, business, education etc.), so as to raise an alarm at the right time to the right people across different disciplines and institutions. Those authorities who subscribe to these insights, will be able to search, analyze and visualise the credibility of sources and impact of the risks, and act swiftly and prevent a potential disaster from occurring , spreading and threatening economies,civilization and humanity.
What's next for shoutout-wall
Our app/portal can also be extended to help in community recognition of front line staff/ care givers dealing with the Pandemic. It will provide a platform for recovered positive cases to leave appreciation/ gratitude messages and rate the front line staff/ care givers. The app could also be integrated with e-commerce websites like amazon, flipkart, etc for people to share gifts as tokens of appreciation (optionally) for the front line staff/care givers.

Last year when my son was 8 years old, he asked me a question. Are monkeys smarter or humans? Of course humans I said ... look at the stuff we have made that no animals can make. And he said exactly, they are able to use natural things to make the things and so monkeys are smarter.
This made me think sustainability in a completely different way and I started researching more about how nature survives or builds things. And I realized they have most of the materials with the desired properties that we need except one. They are not permanent materials. Which basically means they are degradable. Do you understand the drift? We have made materials which are by design permanent and hence unnatural. And we have to move away from that.
What it does
We research a currently existing large scale need. Understand the science and material requirements behind it. See a replacement in nature and then get it into production.
How I built it
Challenges I ran into
The biggest challenge is to get people to change the mindset of having products forever. The roting of things needs to be seen in a positive light rather than negative.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We have been able to come up with some very simple but high impact plant based solutions. If we are able to implement them they can be game changers.
What I learned
I learned that nature is very high tech. We still do not know how exactly Venus fly trap works. We still cannot build a no noise flight like owl. Plants trucks are strong and flexible to withstand hurricanes.
What's next for ASEC Plants for Products
We want to get enough people to believe in the concept so that we can get into manufacturing of the products.

In a times where we are forced to self isolation our body and our mind are facing an unnatural different routine. This rapid change involved a series of physical and mental problems for everyone. People are forced to face the loneliness and all the things that this new state includes.
Our solution aims to help all the people that due to the new routine are facing anxiety issues.Researches demonstrate that after the first anxiety attack is it possible to recognize and prevent the future attacks, usually from 2 to 5 minutes before. It is also proven that the people affected by anxiety issues can control and overcome them focusing on simple activities that involve the five senses.
We didn’t want to create a medial solution, but a supporter, as if it was a friend. Our app solution consist in a path of three simple activities that keep busy the user and let him focus on something else in order to overcome the attack.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/app-that-connects-isolated-people-with-helping-neighbour | Due to COVID-19 many people are put in isolation and some find themselves without a social network to help them with daily tasks. Young students, elderly couples and many others lack someone to ask for temporary help. Especially since the reasons for isolation are rather usual symptoms such as headaches, runny nose or if you’re in a risk group according to WHO. Numerous social media platforms, organisations and hallway notice boards are filled with people who want to help as well as people asking for help. These are great tools for people to find each other, but they aren’t purposely built for this reason so it can become cumbersome to use compared to something built solely for the purpose.
“When the isolations started I realised that my 97 year old grandmother who normally takes care of herself had to be dependent on other people and nobody in the family lives in the same city which made the situation problematic. This is a reality in many places around the world and especially in Sweden which has one of the highest numbers of single households in the world. We hope that with this app we can make it easier for those in need to connect with someone that can help.” - Gustav Larsson, Co-founder

As COVID-19 has surfaced and we have come to know how deadly it is. To combat we know only best solution so far is social distancing and break its chain. As government doing its best to handle it , and lock-down has come up as only viable solution to avoid its spread. We all from our daily life are suddenly finding ourselves locked at our homes and we need to survive this crucial period. As we all were never prepared for it from beginning or while this period we all may need few important items along with essential commodities at odd time like common medicines, milk for infant, a mobile charger, a matchbox. Few articles are no longer available due to lock-down. We are also avoiding going out. So we need a way if somehow we can get our crucial need without going to market and following government rules. Who better than our neighborhood. Our neighbor may have that article and can help us but we need a communication. We need a platform for a locality where we can request of our critical needs ,and someone from our neighborhood in a form of GOD can help us. We can survive this tough time united with all.
What it does
Covid lifeline is mobile application that will work as platform to link people of a locality.An admin user usually someone from RWA/AOA will setup application. He will create a new group for his locality. On "Add Group"user can select his locality. This group name he can share with residents of that locality and they all will become member of application. After login to application , each user would be presented to a dashboard. He will have options to raise a request. He can share his need , priority of time. This request will become available to all users in "Open Requests". It will have requester contact number. Anyone can respond to it. We can leave a note.Once someone respond to it, application will inform requester. Requester can see contact number of person willing to help. A requester after fulfillment of his need can close request. He can also close if he no longer required that item. Admin user can always maintain requests. Admin user can mange users , make more admins. He will also have few reports like most requested article. It will help that association to prepare for future requests.
How I built it
We are using Angular with Ionic framework to build mobile application targeting android and I-phone devices. To locate user's location we are using google maps. We are storing data in JSON so we can extend it easily.
Challenges I ran into
We are doing from scratch. We are going ahead with motive a needy must able to raise his need without any restrictions. Time is biggest challenge.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We will be satisfied with objective of this application. A mother gets milk for baby at odd hour , a patient gets painkiller in need , a working person like me gets a laptop charger to sustain lock-down period, what else we need.
What I learned
Actual help is help done in crisis.

Blue, black and white zippers and one of Estonian national stripe patterns
one out of three zippers
I got inspired from my own big retangular pencil case that had everything in it together. At the same time it was hard to find a color pencil among the other pens.
Three smaller compartments that are categorized makes it super easy to find things from exactly where they usually are.
I just figured what if there is a pencil case that is same from the outside, but has some dividers inside. I just went home, draw the sketch and tried out. Now I have a taylor who makes them.
I ran into - Team mates and day job. I haven't been too active lately just doing jobs that I can not what I really would like to. Also theefore I haven't built the community yet. It is just about to come.
One accomplishment that I'm proud of is a pecial prize at Kaleidoskoop business idea competition which was an opportunity to participate at the semi finals at the Polar Bear pitching competition in Oulu, Northern Finland.
What I learned - People get and love simple things that make their life easier. Less is more and it is most important to believe in your journey and just walk the walk!

Keep track of your region's health care delivery progress
Coordinate the work of all volunteer organizations. Volunteer questionnaire and information for people who want to help.
Updating all the needs of healthcare facilities that need to be prepared for the risk of a pandemic.
Instruction for businesses and volunteers who want to get involved. Information about businesses that are already helping.
Inspiration
Pandemic isn’t interested, how much medical facilities in your country are provided. And in the world there remains a great differentiation in the equipment of hospitals in different countries. We are the Ukrainian team of developers IT BRO and several weeks ago we were contacted by The Poltava Volunteer Group - with request for the web portal development, which highlights the needs of healthcare facilities, which unites local business companies and volunteers around the task of helping. So we launch the web portal, which highlights the needs of healthcare facilities for the region and unites around the project local business companies and volunteers. it`s real project just working for last weeks in Ukraine. Thousands of Poltava people with active position joined the project. Local business, which has seen other organizations join in, has also supported the initiative. Thus, the project brought people together around the construct.
What it does
We help those volunteer organisations, that work in their regions with poor hospital care, and need support in web. The experience of a working Ukrainian portal shows that it helps to unite business companies and volunteers around the real needs of healthcare facilities. A person reading the local panic-spreading news - realizes that there is an opportunity to support local hospitals and becomes engaged in constructive actions. Local citizens provide readiness for pandemic risks for healthcare facilities and focus on constructive actions
Scheme of our support:
Leave the application on the our web site
https://itbro.pro/volunteer-helper/
Tell us about your volunteering activity.
And in a short time we help you to start and deploy a similar web portal, for your region, where you inform the citizens about the needs of hospitals and healthcare facilities and unite people around not panic, but the real task of helping. With the help of web portal you tell about your successful accomplishments, local business companies and organisations, which joined in. You coordinate the work of volunteers, add and share another important information.
We help you, you help the world to stop and defeat pandemic.
What's next for
When we saw the hackathon "The Global Hack", we thought we could scale this solution for other countries. And these days we have added new functionality for new visualization of region needs, ads new modules for important information (of local organisation) and translated the admin panel to English from Ukrainian, for easy using in world. We got worked with short sleep breaks, completely immersed in the task. So now we offer this ready solution for the volunteer organisations from other countries, which are in real need of this. Project is ready to scale in the world and merge around opportunities. We will just help to deploy such web projects to volunteers from other regions of the world, with poor hospital care. We will support those who need us.
And yet we got the idea to launch local self-education projects, but that's another story... :)
We will also be happy to collaborate and communicate with other developers, designers, web studios, after hackathon, in other projects.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/browser-based-music-recording-platform | WHAT IS IT:
This software is designed to simplify music creation, and make it easier for artists to collaborate.
The main idea is to de-mystify the song recording and production technology.
Think of it as a Recording platform as simple and as accessible as a Google Sheet.
THE BASICS:
Anyone in the world can open a page on their browser and instantly create a cloud-based simple recording session.
You can either import existing audio files into the project, or simply press REC and record the track on your phone/laptop/Audio interface etc. Multi-track recording is also possible, but limited.
The platform allows you to add new tracks, Cut, Copy, Paste and Move audio regions and all other basic functionality, such as mixing track volumes and panning, EQ, basic open-source effects (reverb, delay, compression, etc.). All tracks and projects can be set to a metronome grid, quantized etc.
The platform also offers a library of beats and audio loops, as well as basic Virtual instruments, such as Drum machines, synth engines, pads, strings etc. Not the BEST in the world, but just easy and decent.
The project LINK can be shared with your friends, bandmates, or your followers on social media.
Anyone can contribute according to the level of access you've granted - just as with Google Docs.
THE POINT:
The point of this software is not to replace DAWs or to create intricate, Grammy-Winning productions on your phone (although - wouldn't be surprised.. ), but to facilitate the CREATIVE Process. All musicians have little bits and bobs and idea-nuggets. And yet it can take months or sometimes years for a "cool riff" to evolve into a finalized song.
With this platform - instead of storing away those Riffs and melodies and hooks in a messy, unorganized list of Voice Recordings on your iPhone, just record into a Browser DAW. Lock it to a tempo - mess around with it, edit it, clean it up, put on some reverb and put a beat behind it. Now the song is already taking shape.
Awesome - drop into your band's WhatsApp group and see what happens.
Like Google Sheets for Music Production.
EXAMPLE:
You make a drum machine groove, and play some cool basslines on top. Then you pass it along to your friends, and ask someone to lay down a few verses. As soon as someone contributes, you'll get a notification.
As the song's owner - you get to choose which tracks or takes work and which ones don't.
When you feel that the song is starting to take shape, you might want to start getting serious!
For example, you can re-record some parts with a higher quality Audio setup. Or you can simply export the session as a Logic Pro or Protools project. Alternatively, you can just export the key tracks as individual audio files and just start all over on a proper Digital Audio Workspace.
HOW TO BUILD IT?
UX and Design elements can be handled by me and my team.
We are a Music hardware company called Gamechanger Audio - check it out:
www.gamechangeraudio.com
NEED HALP!
What we need are software programmers (front end, backend, full stack ) who can write the code.
WHATS NEXT?
Beta version - the basics - lets you work, record, edit, and export as audio files
Finished Version - lets you share the finished track straight to you socials with an auto-generated video or moving art, etc.
APP version with more features
MONETIZATION:
First, we need to make this thing work and we need to create demand.
After that we can either charge a small fee for Audio Exports or Project exports or incentivise users to purchase add-ons etc.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/aim | Relief Distribution System
We are looking to create a system that helps manage effective distribution of relief funds and donated resources from various organizations as well as volunteers.
In our system certified NGOs will be working on the ground level interacting with the general public and handing out reliefs. These NGOs will also put up requests through our system for necessary items and funds. Requests will then be immediately fulfilled from the resource bank. If resources for a request is unavailable, a listing will be put out on the app. The listing can be fulfilled by the government, organizations and individuals that might be willing to donate to the cause.
The implementation of this productive system can be done in mere days. The system relies on honest and hardworking volunteers.
End Users are the common people and NGOs. NGOs shall hand out reliefs to the common people. Places where a certain item is in excess can help by donating for places where there is scarcity. NGOs can actively interact with each other by putting up requests. The Government can continue to monitor, record and provide funds. The transactions will make the job easy for the government in providing aid and reduce it to shifting stuff to the doors of NGOs.
This will help reduce wastage of resources and help carry out distribution in an organized fashion. In future if any calamity or crisis takes place, we will always have an effective and working system online.

2/ What skills do you need to thrive => a mix between the right mindset, skillset and toolset (or so called 21st century skills)
3/ How do you teach those skills? Through Problem Based Learning, Experiential Learning, Coaching and mentoring
What if we could create a movement, a community for supporting young people solve their relevant, local and worthy problems using the right mindset and tools mainly used by the Entrepreneurial tribe? It would require a community of mentors to accomplish such achievement but if we succeed we would then live in a more meaningful, connected and sustainable society.

Frauke / mentor gov / EU @ Apr 7th at 4:18 PM on Slack: Especially in times like these, we at the European Commission would like to reduce the burdens that legislation places on businesses and citizens. However, it is difficult for us to (a) get reliable information from the ground, and (b) identify the source of the problem. Businesses are subject to European, national, regional and local rules, so that it is often not clear where the problem originates. And of course, we urgently need to learn which new problems businesses, especially small and medium sized enterprises, face in this Covid-19 crisis that would be sensible to tackle at EU level. Looking for ideas how to gather that intel!

What it does This is going to be an online platform that connects shops and service providers to customers, hence the customers would not need to leave the house. This online platform would only accommodate for essential goods and services needed to run a household while under isolation. This will done by having qualified and approved drivers and services personnel who will have full equipment against covid-19 virus to deliver these goods and if possible have health center points which would confirm if the personal is fully equipped for the job they have been tasked this approval would then verify them to conduct jobs for the day.
The platform will have a list of open shops and stores and a list of products and services. Once a customer selects the shop or store they can then select the products and services they want.

People generally love learning but don't really like education (or in some cases, really hate conventional education). Why is that? What if we could make education and learning go from a boring text and image based chore to becoming an immersive and exciting learning experience?
What it does
Outside helps you learn and immerse yourself in learning experiences like never before, in augmented reality.
You can go beyond normal education and magically immerse yourself in unforgettable learning experiences. From science to music, history to space; learn and bring what you learn to life in whole new exciting ways.
With Outside, you can dive into the human body to learn and interact with a nerve cell, to see what exactly a nerve cell looks like while audio narrations play in the background, or go to Mars and take a selfie while learning about space. With a wide category of topics to explore, simplified explanations, interesting fun facts, voice narrations, & even great background music
How we built it
Unity (Mechanics, AR), Blender (making low poly 3D models), Firebase (user authentication)
Challenges we ran into
Making the 3D models low poly enough to load quickly but not too low poly to prevent making the 3D models seem cartoonish. This was a hard balance to strike, and it is one we have to continually balance. Another challenge was trying to simplify complex education concepts, and deciding what to include and what to leave out.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have created 10 AR education experiences in the app, it is ready to go live on Android, and we are now waiting for iOS approval. We have designed a system to enable us add new content every week
What we learned
We tested with a few people, we learned that people really want to learn things, it's how our brains our wired, but the medium of learning discourages people and their face lit up when they tested our product
We learnt that people absolutely hate ads and would rather pay to have ads removed. This was very surprising and not in-line with our initial thinking, so we moved from an ad based model
We learnt that people love good background music while learning, but want the option of turning it off when they like
We learnt that

Across countries, small and medium sized business are the core of the economy, employ anywhere from 50% to 80% of the workforce and in the EU they contribute about 56% of annual turnover. Covid has impacted these business the most and continued disruptions will have far ranging impact across the economy and its people including their ability to fund the healthcare sector, keep a young and active population employed and engaged, fund essential services, security services etc.
What it does
The platform that I have envisaged is based on how consulting firms build solutions for larger corporate clients. However, smaller firms do not have the scale to deploy these solutions nor have the resources to either pay for such services or deploy the solutions once they are built.
The idea is to have a small group of consultants (Solvers) work on small and immediate problems - those that can be solved in a span of 3 weeks (can vary with more information on the problem statements).
The platform learns as each issue is posted by the Business Owner. Solvers develop the issue further by providing descriptions, hypotheses and attributes to the Issue. These once confirmed by the BO gets attached (like a post-it) to the Issue. Stage II - Solvers have more detailed discussions and either add more information or remove certain hypotheses that were incorrect. Stage III - is the actual implementation of the solution, connecting with government databases for skills, using social media to get immediate skills, helping plan cash flow etc.
How I built it
I have now just built the concept.
Challenges I ran into
Focusing on a certain category or set of issues to begin with and then broaden the scope.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Participated in Hack for Sweden and got great feedback from mentors including heads of Innovation from large banks and automotive companies.
What I learned
I need to focus on a few problems, visually represent the platform and how it works, add financial data on the size of the problem, impact that can be created (with a revenue or profitability number)
What's next for Phoenix - AI driven problem solving platform for businesses
The big picture is to have enough information to have the AI engine to become the 1st responder. Connect to enough government and local information resources that are as of now in silo's. e.g. information about skills and vacancies at local employment agencies,
In its best possible version, Phoenix will have the ability to provide enough information to government and local agencies on how macro economic factors impact specific groups of companies or types of industries. This can help develop policy playbooks for each sector and plan ahead of time in case of future epidemics.

We've started WTF few weeks back with the focus being reducing operational inefficiencies and improve customer experience inside a restaurant. We wanted the customer have an awesome experience and to spend a quality time in any restaurant.
But seeing how things were shaping in China and Japan, we realised the need for a service that can make customers enjoy the essence of dining experience but through reduced touch points in a restaurant.
How we built it
With increasing operational costs, we thought that full stack contactless ordering is the way how restaurants can survive and improve their margins.
What it does
WTF enables the customer see the menu, order and pay using their own phone inside a restaurant.
Challenges we ran into
As it’s a consumer behavioural shift that we were looking at, we wanted the customer to access it easily, so we chose web application. But, it was challenging to build a web application as all data must be updated in real time in all screens, both at the customer end and restaurant end.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We've been part of 500 startups accelerator and have received a good consumer interest across India and Japan for the product
What we learned
This application can improve operational efficiency of small and medium restaurants, thereby boosting the margins of restaurants, while parallelly improving the convenience of customers through a hassle-free experience
What's next for WTF - Where's The Food
We want to build a multitude of features and make it a full contact less experience for the users
One of them has originated around the talk of social distancing. Seeing social distancing becoming a norm, which might be around for quite some time, we felt that same table ordering also should be handled in a way where diner should feel that they are in a group but still maintain the distance.
That’s when we got the idea of enigma feature
Enigma helps people to order together from the same table from their own mobile while still maintaining social distance.

Idea of traveling. User stop overs on the map.
Possible person interacted with. Persons present around 20m on same time.
Inspiration
there are 2 type of persons in the earth right now.
1
Want to know what is happening around to stay safe*
but
* getting false information mostly
2
Don't care about things, because they need food.
but
they can travel safe to earn it.
After pandemic, Small business might die. people wants to do business staying safe. In third words specially like mine, there are so many daily wagers who still don't care about COVID __ they need to work every day to earn bread.__
What it does
Our application help to plan traveling and
plan safe traveling
. We are aiming to help these daily wagers and specially small businesses, who are the reason to feed daily wagers, to do their business and stay safe at the same time.
Application can help not only to share situation awareness and allow traveling at partial level. Additionally, under some term and conditions (vary country to country), it can help to detect if someone became the carrier of COVID around the society by keeping the history of its traveling.
We have to come out of the box to fight is pandemic. So I am at-least has no issues in sharing location information of mine.
How I built it
We build a simple maps application using Android Studio. Application gets original dataset of confirmed patients, suspected persons and deaths registered from Govt Authorities (currently testing it with success). Than we draw heat maps accordingly. Those heat maps are accessible from certain height only to respect the social status of any patient.
Now these maps helps end user to see COVID station around him. How its developing? and also recording the history of your travel.
Travel History
is actually most important part here. Through this we are achieving 2 major goals to detect any possible COVID spread.
1)
we are showing any person, who just marked as INFECTED, his travel history of all 14 days with stops. It helps him to recall his interactions.
2)
we are detecting persons (who are also registered to our application) who came near to this just INFECTED person upto 20 meters. So early detection prevents critical patients' ratio.
Challenges I ran into
Biggest challenge is to education people that its not their privacy breach. We did allowed people to get registered using fake names but verified contact number. So they somewhat feels okay with system. Additionally, We are using different means to educate people that its WAR time. To overcome such situations, we have to go out of the box.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We, as team, are proud of accomplishing following things.
a)
Youth is accepting the idea, We have registered so a good number of volunteers so far for testing purposes only. Within last 24 hours of the call.
b)
We are very very happy that we have tested our logic of detecting possible Infected person, with success.
c)
We achieved everything within one week of idea conceiving.
What I learned
there 2 things we learned.
1)
People have no issue sharing same info with big giants, but they will give you hard time.
2)
Its easy to convinced people by telling them the truth.
What's next for COVID-Tracker
we are now trying to make it official with Govt. We definitely not going to own it, this app and its all data's custodian will be Govt authorities. Because, this is the only way to get most out of it.
Secondly, we are jumping into creating wearable over same basic idea. affordable wearable can get most of the people into same cycle of location history. Those wearable, without unnecessary sensors, will boost people confidence on this system.

Inspiration
Every state in India serves the COVID-19 patients through Govt. hospitals. The frontline doctors, nurses, health/medical staffs have shortage of actual PPEs. Being they are our SuperHeroes to protect and save the humanity, the availability of PPEs should be made possible. For eg. a person in Kerala came up with a PPE suite 'CoronaSafe' for their local Government's need. But there are more demand and requirements in many rural hospitals in India. Based on better support from all possible authorities we could ship to other countries who are badly affected by COVID-19 and in need of proper special PPEs. Therefore, since 1 week we started to think how we could improve protection for PPEs as the doctors and nurses are getting affected by COVID-19.
What it does
PPE with coolant and protective bio-coating: It is PPE for front-line workers during the COVID-19 situation meeting all the standard and requirements from WHO and FDA. Additionally, we are incorporating PCM as a coolant to regulate the temperature once a person wears the PPE (3 layered). To facilitate reusability we embedding chemical derived bio-polymer coating with virucide to better protect and help with disinfecting process using Ozone. This enable the reusing of the PPEs to overcome the worldwide shortage.
How we built it
PPEs are made of 3 layers of different materials like polypethylene, meltblown, laminated microporous film, bio-polymer coating synthesised with virucide.
Challenges we ran into
Raw material availability, due to lockdown in India material movement is challenging to get all the raw materials. Once we get approvals from Govt. authorities material movement permit could be achieved.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Contacted all possible suppliers, they are ready to provide raw materials by the week of April 13th and experts in the synthesis of bio-polymer coating with virucide have agreed to work on the protective coating part. Garment factories agreed to work on the stitching and making of PPEs on different sizes.
What we learned
How to coordinate and tackle the lockdown situation working from home. Using different platforms to engage and get the requirements what we require. Got chance to network with experts who could support us for the completion of the product.
What's next for AR-SNUG
Getting fund support to procure raw materials, support the chemists who could synthesize more bio-polymer coating with virucide. And once the verification and approvals by WHO representatives, local Medical authorities, National Health authorities and other Govt. bodies we could scale-up for more number of PPEs on fast-track mode.

Coronavirus has put the world on lockdown – creating fear, anxiety, economic downturns and drastic change in our social lives. As I write, 199 countries are affected by the pandemic and nearly 3.5 billion people are in mandatory or voluntary confinement. In Nigeria, the virus has begun to spread at a geometric rate.
However, beyond this pandemic in an information war (lack of adequate information, Fake news, misinformation, disinformation and uneven distribution of news) that has been described as “an infodemic.” More so, obeying the shelter-in-place order by the government has created boredom and more anxiety for many young individuals. People, most especially in Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) that were locked down by the President, are observing mandatory confinement to their homes.
Aside a few that their work and businesses are adaptable to teleworking, most of the people in these areas would remain idle for the next few days. This idleness would create obvious economic and psychological challenges for some.
Amidst these series of challenges, a group of young Nigerians teamed up to establish "Know COVID-19 Nigeria" to address the pressing needs that could help reduce the pandemic. The initiative was created with the goal of ensuring the provision of adequate, relevant, reliable and relatable information, debunking fake news and providing safety, health and precautionary tips that could help people stay safe, informed and protected. In achieving this, they are engaging young professionals in various fields like media, medicine, graphics designing, web development, public relations, data analytics, research and monitoring and evaluation, etcetera, who are volunteering their time and expertise, thereby, relieving them of boredom from staying at home as a result of the lockdown in the country.
Within a week of its establishment, Know COVID-19 have been able to directly reach and engage over 2Million Nigerians. Debunked over 20 fake news reports on the pandemic, sensitize the public on myths and facts about the virus and shared relevant information about cases, preventive measures and medical observations and advice. The organisation is reaching people majorly by leveraging on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. With a team of over 100 volunteers, they are distilling and interpreting data from relevant sources only, curating different stories, matrix map of victims to prevent spread and sensitizing people on coping strategies while they shelter-in-place.
WhatsApp has proven to be a relevant platform for sharing information and reaching a wide range of people. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, a great deal of misinformation (in form of articles, pictures, audios and doctored videos) have been shared via the platform. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently launched its official WhatsApp chatbot to share credible information with people. Likewise, Know COVID-19 is leveraging on the platform to reach out to people and debunk all fake information passing across. This platform has helped them reach out to more vulnerable people.
When the Ebola epidemic hit Nigeria in 2014, there was serious panic and misinformation about the virus. A lot of people followed flimsy, inaccurate and unverified information about preventive or precautionary measures. At least, two people died from drinking and/ or bathing with salt water which was rumoured to be a preventive solution. Similarly, rumours about issues surrounding COVID-19 have been spreading across social media. Immediately after President Donald Trump’s reckless endorsement of Chloroquine as cure for COVID-19, there was an upsurge in the demand for the drug Lagos State and cases of poisoning were recorded. To avert its widespread, Know COVID-19 engaged medical personnel to create awareness and myth-buster posters on various social media platforms.
Beyond tackling fake news, the organisation is gathering data on cases, perceptions, emotions and other relevant variables on the Coronavirus. They are building a database of information that could help researchers and scholars during and after this outbreak. Know COVID-19 shares information through relatable graphics with pictorial designs that attract attention rather than boring long texts that get people bored. This makes them unique and attracts them to people that might not read new stories and articles from relevant sources like the World Health Organisation and the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control.

Inspiration
Monitoring patients have become a challenge in the past years. It is impossible for doctors to attend all patients at once especially in hospitals where many doctors are not available. Hence there is a need to use imperative solutions and keep up monitoring easy.
What it does
The primary goal was to develop a reliable patient monitoring system using IoT.So that the healthcare professionals can monitor their patients, who are either hospitalized or at home using an IoT based integrated healthcare system with the view of ensuring patients are cared for better.
How we built it
Patient monitoring system -Industry 4.0 can provide real time online information about physiological conditions of a patient mainly consists of sensors, the data acquisition unit, serial communication, ESP8266 controller, Microcontroller (i.e., Raspberry pi), and programmed with a software. The patient’s temperature, heart beat rate, Intravenous fluid flow, blood pressure is monitored, displayed and stored by the system and sent to the doctors/nurse's mobile or computer or TV containing our cloud web-server.
Challenges we ran into
The IoT technology has the opportunities and challenges in accessing the medical data. The computing resources is a challenges since the data used is huge and that is Big Data, so the data need to be decentralized. Moreover the data is of heterogeneous in nature Since the data is distributed data the software approach to deal this data is with the cloud computing platform. These are designed to coordinate with the hybrid data. A cloud platform is developed to deal the heterogeneous data.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The health of the patients in the hospital will be severely affected if they are not treated properly on time and there is a high risk of causing more diseases. Patients monitoring is a challenging factor in the past years. This system can be applied in any hospital and can be get report of many patients at once, it’s the huge medical industrial revolution.
What we learned
Many conventional data analytical approach were done and there is a need to extend this approach in terms of scalability, diversity and distribution of the data. The data collection on the sensor is high voluminous and there is a need for continuous generation of data. Internet of Things device is an integrated network architecture and has a mechanism for inter connecting various other sensors and transmission.
What's next for Patient Monitoring System - Industry 4.0
This system techniques can also be applied for all health care services and its applications like disease supervision and elderly care using autonomous robots and automatic treatment for particular emergencies. The system can be modified to the industrial needs and could be used for industrial applications and many other applications.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/the-virus-monitor | Infected, Not infected, Maybe infected
Inspiration
The insight is the the current infection and death numbers are grossly misleading for the following reasons:
it is a random sample of the population
it doesn't integrate GPS self-reporting with testing priority
in addition to IR thermometer, symptom monitoring, and RT-PCR, there is the $10 15-min antibody kit which can be integrated into the process if there is a good statistical model of the current people who are infected
We live in a world where you can send a message to anyone in the world in less than a second, and yet the people are modeling death numbers which are very crude and after the fact. It should in fact be more like spam filter, where each email is flagged, spam or not spam, with scoring based on every factor that comes to your mind, where ML is useful.
In 2070, when there is an coronavirus jumps to humans, only the ones who are at risk will enter a 5-star quarantine facility. There will be no lockdown, social distancing. Even with the same testing tools available to us today, effective models of current individual carriers and contact tracing application will give a highly specific path of eliminating the virus. The goal is to make this today.
What it does
I had an idea to track COVID19 cases using a combination of IR thermometer for day 5, antibody test kit for day 3, and RT-PCR for day 1, combined with GPS, self-reporting contact tracing app and a machine learning model.
The idea was to identify the next areas and people who should receive the various tests, PPE, and vaccine trials based on statistical models combined with connected smartphones.
How I built it
Being Asymptomatic to Symptomatic takes 5-6 days even some time near 14 days in most of the cases ! During this period if this person moves around in crowd places their is high chance Virus as been spread unknowingly ! That's the reason all suspected asked to go on Home Quarantine for #4 days.
Yes, IR thermometers are not very useful. I wonder if RT-PCR or antibody test kit can detect in the first 4 days
Antibody test kit can makes sense ! Overall their is need to increase test coverage ASAP and plan Actions. Currently SWAB tests are done only After 5-6 days ! Worth to go for Early test like Antibody tests. is such kits used already ?
yes, China and many countries made the antibody rapid test kit:

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/epidemicapp | A tool that helps reporting and monitoring possible coronavirus infection
Inspiration
The COVID-19 procedures in Poland and other countries point several steps to be taken to prevent coronavirus spread. Firstly, medical procedures require a person to be suspected of coronavirus contact with an appropriate medical institution. The ministry warns against appearing in the clinic in person. The problem lays in the situation when potentially infected people cannot contact appropriate medical institutions by phone (usually the lines are busy, which is a significant problem in Poland). The application would allow improving the notification system. Thanks to the application, medical institutions responsible for introducing appropriate procedures for a potential patient could receive information about a given patient with suspected illness and conduct further procedures immediately.
There are two application purposes. It enables a suspected person to report his or her medical state as fast as possible to the medical institution, and the appropriate institution, to gather a preliminary interview to be able to assess the risk and identify further steps. To be simple, the application facilitates interviewing with potentially infected people.
A user suspecting of having illness logs in the application and fills out the application form - a standard medical interview. The form along with the user's GPS history is sent to the admin (institution processing the applications).
An employee of the institution opens a web application in which he or she sees reports sent by the patients. He/She decides, who of the reported people, are going to be tested on coronavirus
When a person is identified as infected, the employee marks them in the system. Then the notification is sent to the people who were in the vicinity of the infected person via mobile app (we check it by GPS track)
What it does
It solves the problem of fast-reacting and dealing with the segregation of infected people from healthy ones. Also, it provides information on possible infected ones and starts the treatment as soon as possible. Once everyone will use the app, the information will flow to doctors and health institutions. Also, the app will solve the problems with contacting the sanitary-epidemiological station or other medical institutions responsible for introducing appropriate procedures for a potential patient.
How we built it
Our idea was to create a mobile application and the admin tool in the cloud. Therefore, we will need 2-3 days to implement the application in mobile stores. The admin part, as embedded in the cloud, does not need additional technical implementation. It will be an institutions' role to add users. The prototype app won't be scale, however, the final and complete version assumes scaling.
Challenges we ran into
We created the app in just 96hrs working in a remote mode. The biggest challenge was to organize a team in a very short time and synchronize their work most efficiently remotely.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The EpidemicApp is created to help people discover the potential and actual infection risk in their areas. Thanks to the interview modules, quick check and thus, easier access to the specialist, it may help prevent the virus spread all over the area. What’s more, it will prevent healthy people from virus impact and make them stay home longer if necessary. The real-time alerts are here to control risky situations.
Fast and verified access to the infected people
A reliable source of information on quarantine and possible solutions for potentially infected ones
Alert for people who would have even minimal contact with infected ones and deal with further steps to keep safe
Shortened way to implement medical institution procedures when dealing with infected or possibly infected people
Knowledgebase and information center for everyone who may be in the COVID epicenter
It provides reliable data and statistics on the number of suspected to be infected by COVID-19.
What we learned
We improved our know-how related to mobile apps development and for the first time we used built-in GPS module that will help locate vulnerable people, and, at the same time, warn those around about the risk of COVID-19 infection.
What's next for EpidemicApp
In our opinion, this tool can be used by every country where people struggle with contacting the institutions responsible for introducing appropriate procedures during the epidemics. It can also help with monitoring infected people as well as use telemedicine for remote health treatment. This tool may potentially reduce the time people spend trying to access medical institutions. Thanks to the advanced technology the advanced algorithms can decide the order of medical visits depending on the patient's symptoms.

We have to get back to our lives!
We need a way to get people 1) feeling safe, 2) able to work, 3) able to participate in life, and 4) able to participate in society again.
To do so, we each need a digital equivalent of an immunization card--you know, the little yellow card(s) you have to show your children's school, or your university, or a border agent at customs in some countries. We need to do it
SAFELY
, but the virus is also showing us the need to do it
LEAN
.
There are 3 simple parts to this:
A healthcare provider (HCP) needs a way to
CERTIFY
your vaccine or immunity status.
Third-parties need a secure way to
REQUEST
that status...
..and you need a simple way to
CONSENT
to sharing that particular piece of information.
This will be a challenge even in the developed world. Yet, our experience on the ground in developing countries, particularly sub-saharan Africa, tells us that we need a solution that's robust, scalable, and easy--not just for people in the US, UK, or Europe--but everywhere in the world.
What it does
There is an app--that together with a blockchain in the backend--that will connect you, your HCP, and interested 3rd -parties with whom you consent to share a particular piece of information.
How I built it
The proof-of-concept/MVP is being built on Android with an AWS backend.
Challenges I ran into
There are multiple challenges ahead:
Helping HCPs understand why being lean and agile is important.
Helping individuals see why it's just as useful as--and no more intrusive than--offering a vaccination record.
Helping 3rd-Parties--like employers and schools--see the positive impacts.
There are technical challenges ahead, as well, though those are more easily solved:
Incorporating a more robust blockchain network, like the AWS Managed Blockchain.
Integration with existing healthcare platforms to streamline the workflow of the HCP.
Deploying on iOS.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Creating an Android app in a weekend.

The Inspiration
COVID-19 has severely affected the livelihoods of the people around the globe. With people getting infected by COVID each passing day, Consumers have learned to stay home, preserve the money they have, and consume less. However, this affects the economy. Similarly, local businesses have experienced unprecedented losses. For those that have survived this period the possibilities for re-opening, recovery, and growth are limited and possibly bleak. SMBs don't have a sustainable solution through which they can grow their businesses again and recover their losses. Traditional ad-tech channels are broken and without significant investment, any business can't get RoI. But, with inbuilt game mechanics, we can motivate people to purchase and help SMBs advertise their product without any upfront investment. So, the perfect way to help both sides of the community SMBs and making it fun for people suffering to help the SMBs is gamification.
I’m a co-founder of a Blockchain gaming company. I (Arbob) have a lot of experience in implementing game mechanics inside consumer apps. So, I thought, why not apply the same gamification techniques I implement in blockchain into a consumer app to encourage people to do a task based on their location, spend more and help SMBs in economic recovery. So I started to scout for members in hackathon channels and got an amazing team to build this idea.
What it does
SoloCoin is an app that rewards users in virtual coins based on their location. Currently, to engage in social-distancing, based on their location to their home. It's basically an app that rewards users according to their proximity/location. (using the tech of GPS, Geofencing, and Accelerometer - to track whether the phone is put on idle or not - awards will be rewarded only when the user is using the phone). If their smartphone is within a certain radius (~20m) to a reward hotspot (Geofencing reward location), then the app will reward them with virtual coins that they can later redeem for "Partner Coupons". These partners can be SMBs, Local businesses, and any online B2C businesses from E-commerce, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Health, etc. Our app rewards, nudges, and drives beneficial consumer behavior. This will help post-COVID to accelerate economic recovery in local communities. They can also compete with nearby players for achievements and badges which they can later share with their friends.
The global ads market is $600B+ with digital advertising accounting for $220B+. But there is a niche in hyperlocal digital-ads where specifically no-one has targeted their solution. Just in India, $650B is the size of traditional retail shops. Simple and Engaging Advertising needs of such a big segment of the market will create an ad-tech boom in the hyperlocal sector in India. We can be at the forefront of this market in the next 5-7 years.
How we built it?
When Arbob had the idea, he started building it on Python's Beeware toolkit which ports python code to a native mobile app. Then, he started to scout for members across hackathons. Since the idea was innovative and exciting, many amazing people joined his team. then the team decided to make it on native android and iOS directly for better usability and support. We have a group of open-source collaborators from around the world including startup founders & CXOs, people from IITs, BITS, Stanford, Microsoft, Uber, Github, Neuro-Researchers and more among our community, with expertise in Frontend (android-studio, Java, Kotlin), Backend (rails+postgresql | RDS) mobile development, Marketing, Product and Design (Adobe xd), etc. AWS is the cloud service provider with authentication from Firebase and Maps from google. The product is built 100% remotely.
Challenges we ran into
The first challenge was finding good team members with relevant expertise. But, we got through with it thanks to our hard work and to the volunteers joining because of the innovative nature of the product.
Management of tasks. To tackle this issue, we created a Trello and GitHub task board for better collaboration.
*
One thing I've noticed while building our product is the founder's vision for the product is very important. When I first pitched the idea of SoloCoin, I was alone. But the idea was innovative and has never been done before. The vision I put to gamify social-distancing resonated with people and that helped us in getting amazing people with great skills from all over the world to voluntarily work on my idea without any financial incentive. People were and still are excited every day they wake up to build and scale the product. And, that's how from an idea it became an MVP and then a working product. *
Accomplishments that we're proud of

Ideas are the most valuable asset to any startup. That's why we have a dedicated #ideas channel our discord for people to post ideas that can help improve our product. Till now we have received 20+ ideas since the project's inception.
Planned Revenue Model
Brands pay us for promoting their deals via Rewards. Sponsors will pay us to get their rewards listed on our app. Like if a new e-commerce startup wants better visibility of their product, they can pay us some fee and get their brand coupon listed on our app, which users can redeem for coins and purchase stuff from their website.
Sponsored badges and goals. For e.g.When someone redeems the coins for Amazon Coupons they’ll get an “Amazon Badge of Honor” which they can share in their social media.
Sponsored Daily/Weekly/Monthly Rewards via Challenges
Location-based targeted ads for grocery, medicine, and other necessities. Later we can open it for a broader audience and sponsors.
Subscription model for faster coin generation.
Impact of SoloCoin
SoloCoin will have a massive impact on the reduction of COVID-19 transmission and on society as a whole. Some of them are:
Impact on the society - It is a “simple way” for citizens to do their part, practices social distancing, and get real economic rewards and esteem awards to show they stood up to the challenge! They can be proud of themselves.
Impact on Public Health Officials: Public Health Agencies can get access to anonymized data insights from our app to help form better messaging to inform/educate the public. ‘
Impact on Partners-Sponsors: Coins can be exchanged for exciting "Partner coupons". These partners can be SMBs, Local businesses, and any online B2C businesses. Our app rewards, nudges, and drives beneficial consumer behavior. This will help post-COVID to accelerate economic recovery in local communities and help get their businesses on track.
Impact on People-driven Health and Wellness: having an all-access platform for behavioral change with people from all around the world will help support post-COVID measures, promoting healthier physical, mental, and social behaviors.
What's next for SoloCoin?
Making this a global app with partner support.
Rewarding for good habits like washing hands, timely self-isolation, Yoga, etc.
Determining efficient/less crowded routes for commuting and avoiding people.
Give users the possibility to chat with nearby quarantined people.
Map list of nearby available essential stores for groceries, medicines, etc.
Adding an anonymous user authentication system.
Give users the possibility to add a mask to their profile picture to tell people they are practicing social-distancing.
What after COVID ends?
We have identified many ideas on what we can do with our tech post-COVID. Some of them are:
Our app can be used for concerts/stores, basically to gather people. The more they stay the more they earn. That way sponsors will get better revenue as well.
Chat with friends, hang out, and earn rewards as you have a good time! Real-time location tracking automatically detects when you and friends are out and about, so you can passively earn points all day.
Use group messaging and location sharing to stay in touch with your friends at any time. Emergency contact features let you get in touch with your circle whenever you need a helping hand because friends watch out for each other!
At the current stage, the app is used as a Social-distancing app with "Home geo-fence". After COVID, we can increase the geo-fence to multiple locations like "rewarding concerts, malls, local stores, etc." Our app can be used for concerts/stores, basically to gather people. The more they stay the more they earn. That way sponsors will get better revenue as well. Our app rewards, nudges, and drives beneficial consumer behavior. This will help post-COVID to accelerate economic recovery in local communities. Now if you think about it we're venturing into not a consumer app space but rather "Ad-tech" space. Our app can now be at the forefront of "Hyperlocal based targeted ads", basically directly competing with Google's and Facebook's Pay Per Click.
Shopping is fun in real life. You can go with friends, treasure hunt for bargains, discover new products, better understand a brand’s vibe, ask store reps questions, and also touch and feel items so you have more confidence you’re going to love it. The shopping revolution we bring will COMBINE ecommerce and entertainment, where both are equal in importance. Toss in gamification and boom. We may see waves of new brands and more pricing transparency for everything... products and services, alike.
We can gamify people’s entire lives, everything they do, with the tech and 20+ sensors present in smartphones.
Our vision is for a healthier, happier, COVID-19-free world and we can't wait to launch this app in the global market and help make the world a better place.

We're facing some major problems concerning
Peoples' Mental Health and Universal Health Coverage and mastering everyday Routines
that are key resources for the functioning of our society, it is vital for us to keep them save! We feel a social responsibility to contribute to help #flattenthecurve.
We want to make Health Care Monitoring throughout the current Corona pandemia and beyond easy, accessible and innovative. We envision shaping and enhancing the future of Primary Health Care with CORONITOR.
What is special about CORONITOR?
We are enhancing primary healthcare by cutting bureaucracy through establishing a comprehensive easy access communication tool to connect citizens with health care providers and authorities. Additionally we are maximizing efficiency in tackling the crisis by minimizing infection risk as well as potentially improving future healthcare outcomes.
What it does
CORONITOR Health Care is a Crisis Management (Web)-App that gives authorities an overview of people who are either currently in quarantine or developing symptoms. To keep trace of these persons, the Crisis Management (Web)-App CORONITOR Health Care got developed as a prototype.
How we built it
We built a first prototype using Google Cloud Platform (Firebase), by using their Backend Solution as Data Model as well as a Frontend (Web)-App including responsive design to fit all sizes of devices and to have early access to the platform. Long term we are looking into native apps as well, as it enhances the usability.
Challenges we ran into
Getting into contact with Health Care Providers Organisations & Health Authorities
Data Protection for all Users
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Inclusion and connection of individual ideas and features that have been floating around to generate more benefit for all users.
Needs and evidence based development
trinational, interprofessional approach
Diversity & Inclusion for all users
What's next for coronitor - SelfCare with HealthCare
Ideally an agency and financial support to hack this app complete. We are also thinking of a native client integration for ios and android.
With the right briefing this can be done in 2–3 weeks with 3-5 coders hands on. We would be more than happy to provide vision and concept/project outlines as much as needed.

What led us to develop this app is the problems we saw the Ethiopian ministry of health while trying to trace the contacts of an infected person.
What it does
This app helps to track people you met with. It will help to trace the contacts that the user made if he/she ever gets infected. This app also helps to follow the numbers of infected people by country and inform users of the precautions and symptoms of COVID-19.

Wanting to do something to help in the Covid-19 pandemic, after three major pivots caused by actually talking to health personell, I ended up with the idea to design a bed, targeted at Covid-19 patients during the pandemic.
What it does
The bed positions the patient face up, but is able turn the patient face down by rotating the entire bed. This saves about 2 hours of nurse-time per ped, per 24h. This means for each four beds, it frees up one nurse.
The bed solves three problems at the same time:
How can we expand Intensive Care capacity, fast enough?
How can we reduce mortality of Covid-19 patients?
How can we reduce the workload on intensive care nurses?
The bed attempts to solve these three problems by:
The bed is built everywhere, by any carpenter, maker anywhere in the world. Only drawings and instructions is actually distributed.
Prone positioning (face down) can reduce mortality of many severe Covid-19 cases by 50%. But prone position in a normal hospital bed (swimmers position) is not ideal, particularly for heavy and/or obese patients. We improve prone positioning by increasing pressure on torso and collarbone, but reducing pressure on abdomen. This improves breathing and oxygenation compared to swimmers positions. Increased turning frequency reduce complications such as pressure ulcers.
When patients are positioned in prone, they need to be turned around every 12-16 hours. The turning maneuver is executed by nurses, but is difficult and risky. Ideally, a turning maneuver requires 5 intensive care nurses working together in up to 30 minutes. The rotating bed allows one or two nurses to do the turning maneuver in a few minutes.
How I built it
We are working designing the prototype, and hope to have it built quickly using any CNC enabled woodworking facility anywhere in the world.
Challenges I ran into
Our chief challenges are:
An unknown solution : Using prone for ARDS (Covid-19) was added as a recommendation in 2018. But many hospitals doesn't know this, or have not developed enough experience with prone to use it. This device simplifies prone, but if they are not using it then they will not be interested.
What is the point of a rotating bed? : If the hospital are not putting patients in prone, what difference does it make if you can rotate the patient in prone? The hospitals need to both understand that proning Covid-19 is important, and experience problems with nurse capacity due to turning.
Looks : Because it's plywood, it looks like something from the fifties. Some places this means it will not be accepted. We would love to make it from stell and plastic, but it takes more time to build it. So there is a tradeoff, but how is it weighted?
Hygiene : Will a painted plywood design be acceptable from a hygiene perspective?

We want to tackle today's and tomorrow's pandemics with UBQITY.
Ubiquity means "control of the spread of genera and species", the reason why we chose this name.
Who owns citizens' health data "now"? General practitioners.
Who knows where citizens go "now"? Telephone operators.
UBQITY uses the mobile SIM displacement data, collected from the cells of the telephone operators and the pathology data of citizens, from the database of general practitioners, to provide real-time proximity information in real time.
Privacy issues?
Ask anyone if they prefer privacy or a pandemic and you will hear the answer.
All data are anonymized, therefore names and surnames are deleted at source, because UBQITY does not care.
It will be enough that the citizen gives informed consent and will no longer have to do anything, everything will be automatic.

I came up with this idea when I realized:
The globally
failing
economic
,
political
and *social institutions
* induce bottom-up collaborations, because fixing our problems from above
does not provide lasting solutions
to our needs anymore.
For more than a month in our region with a group of volunteers, we are trying to help mostly the elderly. It was a long and painful journey to map the available resources and to reach the segment.
People still don't know what can be the best help in the current situation and how to do it accurately.
I dare not mention how personal data was handled, and what kind of abuses took place in the process.
What is unresolved
… is the
intra-community resource management and fair allocation of resources
, because communities lack the technology to
collect
,
process
, and
share
their available supply, support, and aid capacity as well the shortages.
The pattern
Permaculture (the "science of nature") reveals the patterns for any kind of sustainable system development.
It is time to apply nature's ethics (
people care
,
earth care
, and
fair-share
) to have effective IT solutions available to every collaborative community on the planet.
What it does
Community Network Resource Mapping
(
CoNetRes
) software it's a toolkit that provides a big picture of the
supply
,
support
, and
aid
capacity and needs
of a community, to support effective and efficient
collaboration
inside and between communities.
The toolkit
… can be used to build
progressive web applications
for resource mapping, on most of the digital platforms, and using gateways in special needs (SMS, Nat, IoT).
The data
is collected using
sociocybernetic
techniques,
stored in MongoDB using
decentralized identity and access management
with GDPR compliant privacy and data security,
aggregated through APIs (in relevant cases) and open protocols like
Murmurations
;
the data collection and actualization is incentivized using
ThankYou points
,
validated by the community with the help of embedded
personal value formula variable
(advanced reputation system)
processed with
data anonymization
using decentralized IDs (DIDs).
The data owner (User/Community) fully controls the stored data and accessibility.
Authentication
… can happen through
the main contact channels (email, phone, social),
OAuth as secure delegated access,
cryptographic hash function with mnemonic
Simple use case
How We built it
We started to develop an open-source
resource mapping solution
done in an
independently
and
collaboratively
, with
anonymous data collection
and
secure information management
, which are key roles today! We are developing a
highly customizable open-source toolkit
for this.
We are using
HackMD
to clarify the bigger picture and to collaborate on all related information.
Using social interactions and google forms we researched different communities.
The technical background for the development is provided by other open-source solutions, like
ßoiler
JavaScript framework with
codepad
, the collaborative development environment running on
srvctl
.
The main language is
JavaScript
with
node.js
,
d3.js
and
Vue.js
, using
JSON
,
HTML5
,
CSS
, and
python
for data processing.
Challenges I ran into
The biggest challenge was to reduce the big vision to a clear and simple workflow to be able to write the first lines of the code. It was challenging and energy-consuming to have a bigger picture of our human resource availability and to communicate our needs in a clear way using incentives.
We have no committed programmers available at the moment.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We have wide experience-based knowledge about bottom-up communities and socio-cybernetic tools to help resource-mapping and to facilitate collaboration.
We found a collaborative development environment and the core developer is in the team.
What We learned
The importance of having a clear picture of our available resources and knowing collaborative ways of managing them.
What's next for CoNetRes, the Independent Community Network Resource Mapping toolkit.
During the #COVIDathon
… we were able to
work on the
project definition
, clarify the main vision for different markets;
reach an agreement with communities about the common goals;
gaining promise of support from the regional council and cooperation with the online network of 50.000 registered users in Hungary;
having software and mentorship support from the
Internet of People
professionals to include the Decentralized Access Control framework to protect personal data;
doing promising research on
Holochain
and having mission statements with developers;
realize visual storyboard about a simple use case scenario:
CoNetRes/I2We20-story.pdf
including the
Murmurations protocoll
in our project;
setting up
funding channels
and preparations for a crowdsourcing campaign;
setting up the domain and launching the
Resources.CollaborativeSociety.eu
site on GitHub;

For the MVP
The next steps for the MVP of the
Community Network Resource Mapping
toolkit are
Clarify the UI/UX of frontend/backend
to have a fully customizable form for data collection, [0--(40)--100]
list
available COVID-19 and pandemic solutions
as resources and possible deficiencies,
ability to have anonymous profiles with decentralized identity and access management [0--(20)--100]
Good to have
multiple views with filters to display the collected data, such as
an egocentric zone view, where resources can be listed in related zones, like categories [0]
a dependency map, where missing resources can be revealed easily [0]
a geolocation view, where resources can be located providing easy access to them [0]
To reach these steps
good open-source programmers are needed,
stable motivation/incentive is needed (funds, events, perks, etc)
the continuous presence of mentors are needed mostly on the fields of
#Data_science
#Psychology&Sociology
#UIUX_design
The impact
… to the crisis
Because of the globally
failing
economic
,
political
and *social institutions
* fixing our problems from above
does not provide lasting solutions
to our needs anymore. Many newly formed collaborations are trying to find
bottom-up solutions
(growing numbers of hackathons are proving that), but there is a high chance for them to fail because of the lack of resources, like technology, money, professionals, etc.
CoNetRes
providing a
bottom-up independent solution
for effective allocations of resources -- like technology, money and professionals -- to
support collaborative communities to thrive
.
This process will relieve organizations across the globe, saving a lot of energy, lowering carbon footprint, and providing the chance to adapt to crisis situations in a resilient way.
After the crisis
There will be no "after the crisis"
for a while,
emergency collaborations
and
resource allocation
will be needed.
Open-source
alternatives are always needed for communities who prefer
independence
and
secure solutions
to support
cooperation inside and between communities
&hellp; because these are the pillars of a healthy society.
Monetization
The toolkit can't be monetized, crowdsourcing, donations, and even business can be built on it with a pro-rata share to gain money, development, and necessary resources.
Contribute
I don't want to tell people what to do, but hope more and more people will realize the need of the advanced tools for mapping resources and effective allocation and they will use and develop the Community Network Resource Mapping toolkit by their needs to support their community.

Inspiration
Every country has an extremely limited amount of resources when it comes to the Covid-19 epidemic, and all decisions are currently taken on wrong assumptions (in Italy we have regions where Covid shows 14% mortality rate, caused mainly by the fact that most swabs are being used to confirm deaths). We can't do anything if we don't first understand what's really going on.
A platform such as Covidonlinetest.it can be game-changing as it would allow to promptly identify high-risk situations before they become uncontrollable. Also, being able to get a realistic estimate of positive cases (symptomatic and asymptomatic), would be incredibly useful and allow swabs to be used only when strictly needed.
We reach conclusions through a fully quantitative-statistic approach, so the gathered data is to be analysed with algorithms (non-ML and ML) in order to reach the objective of our project.
What it does
Covidonlinetest.it is a web-app where users can take a daily test to register their symptoms and behaviours, with respect to the COVID-19 crisis. Users are uniquely identified and geolocated, in order to gather reliable, accurate and relevant data – while at the same time protecting their privacy.
Future iterations of the platform will include localisation in other Countries (currently it's only available in Italy), as well as online doctor visits (via videocall) and other telemedicine features that allow the appropriate medical personnel to monitor the symptoms of a large part of the population directly through the platform and without putting their health at risk –– while confirming the validity of the data gathered through the platform.
How I built it
Mainly built in Ruby on Rails + Javascript. We will soon turn it into a PWA.
Challenges I ran into
We had to make many instant decisions and iterate at an extreme rate. We built the first fully-working version of the platform in less than 2 weeks – and that includes things like refining the concept with medics by working with medics and statistic experts, incorporating a company and drafting out legal matters in order to be GDPR compliant.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The fact that we were able to come up with this idea and build it so fast.
What I learned
I now realise what I've been missing all along in my previous projects: imperfection. The sense of urgency made us focus on speed, care about substance and not form, neglect perfection by correcting our mistakes along the way. I thought I was doing all of this already in my past projects, but I was wrong. And it turned out much better than I could've possibly imagined.
What's next for Covidonlinetest.it
Involving public institutions and universities, opening tests for people living in other countries, as well as introducing new features (such as telemedicine services).

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/immunobooster | Describe the challenge and its scenario
Corona virus or any virus crisis demand strong immune system to fight against symptoms like coughing, sneezing, dry cough, respiratory fibrosis, joint pain etc. Weak immunity of the patient decrease the chances to combat the virus, but coming into the immune related disease need to try that little bit harder to protect and stimulate immune system naturally.
What are the technology possibilities to solve this challenge?
• Immunostimulant (Immunobooster)
• Immune stimulant tonic: Some tonic can help to stimulate the immune system by increasing blood circulation and generally supporting the development of antibody against deadly virus present in different body systems. The patient should take 1 table spoon in empty stomach tinospora cordiflolia/ turmeric/ blacker pepper/ Ginger/ Bermuda grass/ wood apple leaves etc (1)
• Immune stimulant oils: Stimulant oils should cold press mustard oil, sesame oil, hemp seed oil, and olive oil etc.
• Immuno stimulant essential oils: Some essential oils can help to stimulate the immune system by increasing blood and lymph circulation and generally supporting the different body systems such as Clove oil, Cinnamon oil, Eucalyptus oil, Peppermint oils, Lemon oil, Rosemary oil, Vetivar oil etc. good at preventing the spread of bacteria, fungus and viruses. (2)
• Immuno stimulant food: Food increasing immune system of specific organ and whole body. The foods are millet of specific variety. Some spices such as black pepper, turmeric (mango ginger), ginger, amla, cumin seed, fenugreek seed. (2)
• Immuno stimulant antidote: Venom is considered as a good natural source for characterization and development of novel anti-corona agents targeting the entry step. Open a new approach towards discovering antiviral compounds derived from honey bee venom, scorpion venom etc to stimulate immunity (3, 4) .
• Sterilization
• Heat sterilization: Naked heat sterilization in quarantine area.
• Frequency sterilization: Sapta dhatu or ashta dhatu singing vessel will kill virus present in air, room or hospital etc
• Sanitization: Sanitizer with essential oils add advantages in immunization. Diffused to purify the air and prevent the spread of air borne germs. Addition of essential oils to cleaning products or disinfectant surface sprays.
What are the proposed benefits in solving this challenge?
The proposed solution can be implemented as soon as possible, except honeybee and scorpion venom. The patient will recovery more faster with strong immunity, decrease in death rate. Adaptation of the proposed technology will eradicate the corona virus completely and will protect the restore economy of country as normal. The government should focus on awareness creation on food to boost immunity by using media. The government should promote specific food tonic and essential oils.
What are the existing solutions & products in the market, If any?
Crisis demand grassroots treatment not symptomatic. Immunity food, oils, salts, sugars on empty stomach will stimulate immune system and increase blood circulation to fight any disease.
All the solutions are available in market, but the patient should take the stimulant tonic in early morning on empty stomach 40 minute later followed by stimulant foods.
The whole ideas is Take food as medicine at specific time and conditions

The novelty of this idea is in the application of a speed reading method: you only need 6 consecutive days, across which you will spend a total of 6 hours of learning. The speed of conscious and productive reading is 30 books (200-300 pages each) in just 30 days. This speed reading method has been tested across large test groups and confirmed to have reliably positive results for each person. The recommended age is 14 and above.
The app will allow students to learn much quicker, pass exams, create presentations and put any newly acquired knowledge to use. The instruction of the method is easy, will be available on the most commonly used languages of the world, with access to online book libraries, will improve critical thinking and memory in people across the world, including countries with big gaps in social classes where access to quality education is limited. Monetization freemium – premium.
VELOX will create mobile communities across the world that will be able to study in a particular field together at the same exact time – using all accessible books on any language you want. Once these study groups are established, this group of human minds, not computers (Big Data Science), they will be able to create global online mind-maps through their own research and hunt for knowledge. Monteization – research centers. Access to these ratings – monetization through online libraries and global retailers like Amazon.
What it does
By acquiring knowledge and keeping it with the help of the VELOX app, users focused on innovation and problem solving will be filtering a colossal amount information and thus creating ratings of the most important and useful books in the world on any given subject.
How I built it
A mind map is created in conjunction with the books that have been read across specific topics (psychology, marketing, sales, history, journalism, genetics, etc) with the help of tags and filters will help not only to learn, but to export tasks to your calendar to incorporate that knowledge into your life.
The mobile app consists of 3 modules:
– access to online libraries with the ability to filter books by topic. Users can download and read books, make marks and comments, add newfound information to the mind map.
– module that constructs a mind map (multidimensional, colored). Users can share it with other users and collaborate online.
– calendar module with scheduling & notifications that also has chat functions between collaborators.
All these elements already exist on their own to some degree (for example: Google Calendar, mind maps, online book libraries), however the speed reading method will help not only to complete the puzzle, but also make VELOX a comfortable and easy tool for the user – learning will be much easier with near immediate results – after the 6 days of the speed reading practice are complete. The mere fact of all the elements of the app existing on their own will help with the intuitive use of the app.
Challenges I ran into
The app will allow students to learn much quicker, pass exams, create presentations and put any newly acquired knowledge to use. The instruction of the method is easy, will be available on the most commonly used languages of the world, with access to online book libraries, will improve critical thinking and memory in people across the world, including countries with big gaps in social classes where access to quality education is limited. Monetization freemium – premium.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The VELOX method is tested on more than 1000 students. It works.
What I learned

Clients need legal help during COVID-19, private individuals - family law and employment law, companies - tax law and state aid. From the other side, attorneys are not allowed to provide consultations in-person due to Covid restrictions and have restrictions to do it online due to know- your-customer and anti-money laundering regulations.
We come in with solution both for attorneys, to acquire clients properly / receive payment for service immediately, which helps them to continue practicing during COVID-19 restrictions, and for clients - to receive credible and good quality legal help remotely.
Our target audience are private individuals, SMEs willing to purchase legal service and attorneys willing to provide such assistance.
What it does
We plan to build an online lawyer consultation service, which brings together attorneys and private individuals/businesses. Consultations will be organised using video-calls.
Usage workflow from person/business side applying to consultation is pretty simple:
Register and login to the platform;
Fill consultation request form, specifying only two fields - country/state and legal area where help is needed - platform will respond with the list of lawyers who are ready to give consultation;
Select lawyer from the list and date/time of consultation (lawyer working hours will be proposed);
If lawyer is currently online and not busy, videocall should start immediately, otherwise you will get approval/reject from the lawyer to the email.
Login to the platform a few minutes before consultation should start. Videocall will start automatically.
Usage workflow from lawyer side is even more simple:
Register and login to the platform as lawyer;
Fill info about your education and experience (not mandatory);
Specify your approximate working hours (it will be offered to users applying to your consultation);
Wait until the consultation request appears. If you are currently online, you will get notification inside the platform and can start consultation immediately, otherwise you will get notification to the email and accept/reject links.
What do you want to build during the hackathon?
We already have a platform for legal document management
https://smartlaws.eu
.
We plan to build our solution on top of the existing platform, leveraging login/registration and all security features.
During hackathon we plan to implement core of the new service:
videocalls between lawyers and persons/businesses inside our platform;
apply to consultation functionality;
We understand that time bounds are very tight, so we don’t plan to implement consultation planning and pricing features - by the end of the hackathon we plan to deliver MVP, which gives the ability to apply to lawyer consultation who is currently online and start consultation immediately.
Consultation planning and pricing features will be implemented after the hackathon.

During and post Covid-19 lockdown, how do we prevent the spread of the virus, while providing civilian, business owners and Government officials maintain the city services and let civilians perform day-to-day activities?
How can civilians and businesses reduce the risk of infection spread, and know safe areas and the right threshold of gatherings?
What it does
This is not an application but an integration to an already existing mobile app like the 112 SoS Alarm, or an existing Government platform like
https://www.stmwi.bayern.de/en/
website or local community platforms. This will reduce another app download for users and can be used with the existing services.
How we built it
Provide Activity choices that involve going outdoors, and showcase routes to the activity they want to perform, in this case going to a store for grocery shopping, and the current crowd size so users can be rerouted to a store which are not crowded.
Provide Business owners the ability to provide vital information on the amount of people within their premises, details on available goods that might be in shortage. This will help business owners maintain the right footfall, and help civilians be routed to other locations if the threshold of the crowd is going to be
Use the Cell Tower and Crowdsourced data, Government officials can see the crowd distribution within their communities, be notified of any potential hotspots, help maintain active distancing protocols within Covid-19 +ve hotspots, and ensure the right distribution of civilian population
Achieve the solution by integrating Government CDC data on area-based Covid-19 +ve cases, and Cell Tower data to understand Population density based on Geo-fencing area codes, with optimization of routes and alternative services based on Hotspot information.
Challenges we ran into
Getting Telco Data for Cell tower based crowd identification is still under work, as this form of data is not easily available. Also, finding Area based Covid-19 positive data instead of a whole region / country is required to show hotspots overlay on a local community map.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We came top 50 in the Swedish Hackathon for Covid 19 among 540 odd submissions.
What we learned
Correlating the Crowd information inferred from cell tower data is a viable option but needs more interfaces and that might take some time to fine tune. This can also be done using Google anonymous location data used for traffic updates and that is also a viable path forward.
What's next for SocialWise
• Develop a Progressive Web App (PWA) interface
• Identify target apps / digital platforms with which the PWA interface can be integrated with (ex -
https://www.government.se/
or 112 SoS Alarm app)
• Gather the following Data sources -
• Area code wise Covid-19 positive case data from Open data by Folkhälsomyndigheten (Public Health Agency of Sweden), for each region within Sweden (Ex -

Many people started purchasing basic goods in prior.
As much crowd is being created at the market place.
This causes more gatherings in public places.
It leads to the spread of the virus ultimately.
What it does
. Developing an Application medium between buyer and seller with a web app and mobile application.
The application helps the general public to book their timings (slots) to go out for purchasing vegetable and grocery items during coronavirus pandemic.
To avoid huge public gatherings at market places this application makes people step out at the perfect and planned time so people will go out in a timely manner.
Our application allows booking a limited number of slots at a given time and place so we can maintain social distancing.
How I built it
This Application builds with a web app (using mean stack) and mobile application (using android studio) By taking real scenarios into consideration.

Things have gone haywire for parents and students all around the country, including for us. My younger brother needs help with his French homework almost every day, but nobody else in the house knows French. Going from seeing six teachers every day to seeing zero is a shock to the system, and both of us are struggling to make up for the lost resources.
Although I can’t help with french, I am a STEM mentor for my school and help younger students with computer science, algebra, and chemistry. There are tons of students at my school like my brother who are struggling with these subjects, but they have no way of getting help.
Because all schools have moved online, it is critical for us to implement a robust and secure volunteer student mentoring site. Students were able to get help from teachers and students when schools were still open, but this is no longer possible. Distance learning poses many difficulties for students, and it is hard finding help easily and securely. At every school, there are older students like me who want to mentor younger students, but there’s no way for us to do that.
What it does
Student Mentor is a school-exclusive volunteer mentoring platform for students needing help to connect with qualified student tutors from their school. Students can sign up and post a request for help or submit an application to be a mentor. Once they post a request for help in a certain subject, all of the mentors who are approved to help with that subject will receive a notification. Students can also directly reach out to mentors. Both sides can start a chat with the other student. From there, the two will work out logistics such as a time and google hangouts space.
Student Mentor give schools a way to bring pre existing student tutoring services online. Schools can also expand their mentoring programs to include new students and mentors, as more people are needing help than ever before.
For the safety of the students, students using the platform can only communicate with a student from the same school. All students must be approved to join the school by an admin. All student mentors must get an additional approval to mentor for a specific course before they can start mentoring. This will ensure the quality and integrity of the program by verifying that a student is qualified to mentor a peer for that course.
How we built it
We started building this for our own school, since we are using an asynchronous model of learning and see the challenges first hand. We then generalized the site to fit any school.
Challenges we ran into
Showing teachers how our platform can help move their student mentoring programs online.
Aaliyah is a student mentor for her school and saw first hand the problems that students were experiencing
Arshaan is a freshman and is worried about succeeding in school without his typical support system of teachers, student mentors, and synchronous class time.
We had to ensure the safety, quality, and integrity of the student experience.
We had to add an admin function to support this
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We built this in less than 3 days, and the platform is ready to be used right now. Try it out with our demo students!
What we learned
Security comes first. Since we are aiming our help at schools, we have to plug every hole and make sure our students are safe.
Organization is key to making mentoring services successful, as well as simplicity.
What's next for Study Mentor
We are going to add some more features to the site, and we are launching Study Mentor for our school. Afterwards, we will spread the word and share the site with other schools in the area.

Inspiration
The rapidly evolving social and medical impact of COVID-19 requires equally rapid development of tools to predict, and ultimately ameliorate, the future course of the pandemic. Tools are needed to predict patient outcomes, to optimize the deployment of resources by medical providers, and to optimize therapy for infected individuals. Predictive computational simulations of the spread of the disease, and of the underlying biology that makes COVID-19 unique, are both essential. Our aim is to build cooperatively-developed, open-source multiscale model components that can predict various aspects of infection at molecular and tissue scales and inform higher-level models, and a framework to allow others to do so efficiently.
In support of parallel model development of tissue infection, we are developing a multiscale computational model of viral tissue infection and public repository of shared modeling and simulation developments. The repository will be maintained with standard documentation of shared models and simulation tools, for which we will provide supporting templates and generators.
What it does
Currently, the model describes select interactions between generalized epithelial and immune cells and their extracellular environment associated with viral infection and immune response at the cellular and subcellular levels. The repository contains the model and prototypical standard documentation.
How we built it
We are implementing all model components in CompuCell3D, an open-source modeling and simulation environment of the spatiotemporal dynamics of virtual tissue at the cellular and subcellular levels. Model components under development are written in python and simulated in the CompuCell3D simulation engine, which is developed in c++. Supporting tools for documentation standards are being developed in python using Sphinx.
Challenges we ran into
Data on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 is currently limited but increasing by the day. We are filling gaps in knowledge about the virus with data on SARS-CoV, which is much better understood and similar to SARS-CoV-2.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Currently, the model describes select interactions between generalized epithelial and immune cells and their extracellular environment associated with viral infection and immune response at the cellular and subcellular levels. The framework simulates a dynamic subcellular state of infection in each cell as a system of ordinary differential equations, which is coupled with cellular-level models of cell motility, diffusive environmental viral particles, and cell death due to infection or neighborhood immune cells. Immune cells are recruited by secretion of diffusive signals by infectected cells. The parameter space of the current model includes the outcomes of complete infection and partial infection with residual tissue damage.
What we learned
Spread of infection in tissue is particularly sensitive to the likelihood of viral uptake by individual cells as a function of local viral particles in the environment. Modeling local immune response requires detailed spatiotemporal modeling of cell signaling, including secretion, reaction-diffusion, and chemotaxis models. Local infection modeling in epithelia requires coupling with a model of global immune response for dynamic immune cell populations in simulation as a function of signaling due to the state of infection.
What's next for Collaborative COVID-19 Tissue Infection Model Development
Our immediate goals are to develop specific improvements to the model and shared model repository, including
Modeling ACE2 in cell uptake of viral particles
Immune response modeling coupled with the state of infection
Modeling cell death due to viral exposure
Define submodel specification for parallel development

TECHO is an organization present in 19 Latin American countries, which seeks to overcome the poverty situation experienced by millions of people in popular settlements, through the joint action of its inhabitants and young volunteers.
The constant collaboration between volunteers and the communities to build a fair, integrated, and poverty-free society, where everyone has the opportunities needed to develop their capacities and fully excercise their rights, inspires us every day.
It all started in Curanilahue, almost 700 km south of Santiago de Chile, in the winter of 1997. A group of young university students, led by the Jesuit priest Felipe Berríos, began to meet with families in the area who were living in extreme poverty situations. For several years, together they carried out increasingly large and permanent works that contributed to the complex situation of families. Slowly, Techo is emerged in Latin America and it has mobilized more than one million of voluteers.
Today, facing the covid19 crisis, we have to think a new way to work with the communities and continue to overcome poverty. Our challenge is to ensure the work of our volunteers remotly and continue to finance our actions in a completly different world. We need to re-think the modality of our support in the communities, promoting the a remote action, when all our work was based on the contstant interaction between our volunteers and the inhabitants of popular settlements. Now instead, we are a possible risk of contagious for them.
We accept the challenge because we know we can do it. We are proud of how we are preventing the contagious in the communities, delivering emergency food and toilet kits,providing water and building emergency houses.
We learned that we can promote communications in the communities and help them to prevent the epidemy but at the same time that we can become a risk for them.
For this reason, we want to work remotely with communities in extreme poverty. The next step is thinking how, implenting new innovation methods for our actions.

XR technology against Corona
Inspiration
The Corona lockdown shows that humans have an urgent need for new digitalization solutions, which are keeping them safe and allows them to educate and interact with others over networks.
XR (eXtended Reality) technology fullfils following key topics to prevent Corona:
Mitigation of economic damage for health care, defense and industry in biological risk situations.
New training quality through communication and skills acquisition over distances
People interact and learn via networks to stay safe
New immersive technology solutions expand the interaction possibilities of people far beyond the physical togetherness and grants access to virtual information and environments via standard hardware.
Multi-user mode in virtual environments
People find themselves and their expanded interaction possibilities in virtual spaces and can communicate and interact with other people.
Development of a visual and neural knowledge network
The knowledge and information of experts are captured in digitized learning environments and processed in a well-founded manner by artificial intelligence. Activities of the learners in the virtual space are saved, evaluated by AI and flow back to the expert for the continuous improvement of the learning content.
What it does
A digital community of experts and learners based on XR and AI technology as a new digital ecosystem for educational institutions in the public, commercial and private sectors.
The focus is on people and the technology tools are selected, developed and integrated in such a way that intuitive operation of the interactive systems is ensured for all age groups. Knowledge can be accessed at the push of a button (one-button principle).
The focus is also on the users who are involved in the project from the first moment as experts and learners in order to be able to quickly create, share and evaluate learning content.
The preparation time for XR learning content is minimal for people with general IT skills and is continuously measured and the technology is developed or adapted accordingly.
A retention rate is increased to 80% through motor training combined with visualization and immersive content (as of today 10-20% using traditional teaching aids).
The development of an innovative XR ecosystem demonstrably supports new access to high-quality technical, vocational and tertiary education as well as the improvement of social, economic and political participation.
The XR ecosystem as an integration platform serves as the foundation for ongoing innovations and is constantly measured for acceptance, efficiency and sustainable use.
How I built it
Setup and define virtual communities in domains education, healthcare, defense and industry.
Collect any exsiting information in traditional format (documents, pictures, videos, 360s, 3D models) and convert them into XR content with support of an automated conversion pipeline. Integrate Unity projects also.
People with common IT-knowledge use existing standard software for XR content creation from Modest Tree to build all kind of training and collaboration environments. Create and reuse standard and individual templates for avatars, meeting rooms, tradeshows layouts, auditoriums, training facilities to build virtual environments.
Share content worldwide with others to access the virtual environments by using any hardware device (mobile, tablet, PC, VR/AR glasses)
Invite other people to join virtual environments and interact, train and socialize in multiuser mode.
Challenges I ran into
Software is ready, but XR hardware is missing for the mass (HTC Vive, Oculus Quest, Microsoft Hololens 2)
Real XR technology can be experienced over AR or VR glasses only. Government have to understand that the distribution of hardware needs fonding and subvention. Hardware rollout have to be coordinated and priotized by immergancy in following sequence: healthcare, defense, industry and education.
Scale up cloud network for XR technology for Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services running XR content worldwide cost money and need fonding.
New law needed for cyber security needed urgently
Using machine learning to make sure, that every citizen:
runs through virus safty training monitored by name and activity
achieve online certifications which are international recognized to become a domain expert
no common defense platform exists with highest security in place
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud to fight successfully at the forefront of digitalization with cutting-edge technology. A technology which is ca. 5 years ahead of the time. I could create awareness for new XR technology on top management level and close several XR projects within healthcare, defense and industry already.
What I learned
From Corona crises I learned that there is no time for perfection. Safe lifes with fast actions.
Many hurdles were eliminated due to Corona (like laws, high security demand, intrest in new technology and user acceptance...). Now it's the time for digitalization against biological risks.
What's next for XR technology against Corona
The technology is ready. Only money is needed to scale up worldwide.
Rise the red flag from digitalization community for top decision makers. But there is a high risk that the world economy will run into a crisis and top decision makers are stopping fondings for digitalization. This would be a fatal mistake for mankind.
The global digitalization community should use all channels to stand against fonding cuts in the future!

After the beginning of the Coronavirus Outbreak in Madagascar, a group of young activists organized an online hackathon
Hackoragnavirus
to bring together all the bright ideas from all over the world.
Mayday (originally Covid-19 Tracker) is a project led by a team of DevOps, PR students, communication professionals from Madagascar. Mayday, formely known as Covid-19 Tracker, has won 3rd prize as well as
the People’s Choice award
during this local online Hackhathon.
What does Mayday do ?
During the Coronavirus crisis, Mayday will present 3 core features, but the signaling features could be used for any other environmental or health crisis.
Users will be able to do a self-assessment of their health status ( whether the symptoms they have been experiencing express risks of contamination ).
Once the assessment reveals there is a risk, users can send their exact location to the health authorities to reduce the risk of spreading the Coronavirus on their way to the testing centers.
All signals sent will be mapped out to allow authorities to plan all interventions strategically.
How we built it
For the self-assessment feature, we started by talking to health professionals to identify the symptoms that need to be compiled by the AI. The AI processes the data collected and gives a score of COVID-19 contamination risk.
If the risk score is high, the user can then send a voluntary signal to health professionals using the app or USSD for non-android users.
On health professionals and authorities interface, a map will show all signals sent with the risk scores, using Openstreetmap. This score will be used to plan interventions more strategically, allowing to test the users without them having to leave their homes and risk contaminating others.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are definitely proud that this application has won
3rd prize
and the
People’s Choice award
.
What we learned
One of the main thing that we have learned is definitely time management and how to work collaboratively while being in social distancing.
What's next for Mayday ?
At the moment, we are looking forward to this Global Hack Crisis to work on the Articificial Intelligence and learn from sharing and working with a group of passionate people from all over the world.

What it does
it is a rite of passage that shifts people from a state of fear and anxiety to certitude and confidence. Upgrades Human operating Software with the emerging cosmology gaining the ability to trust life and trust themselves. Rebuilding trust between people. Rebuilding community
How I built it
20 years of research, 4 years of leading Men's retreat in the mechanics, over the last year I have beta testing with individuals and the results are inspirational. Game changing in all facets of life
Challenges I ran into
Resistance, time, we are addicted to Money, as it seems the one thing we can not live without, we are enslaved to making money, which consumes most of our time. This course just like mediation helps you become more efficient at whatever you are doing, including making money. The challenge has been for people discipline themselves and make the time to get the Human operating software upgrade.

What I learned
we live in a holographic universe, the Matrix is real. In order to address the very REAL challenges we must upgrade our cultural stories that are hardwired into our brains. Even if the revolution happens, we will go the way of Bolsheviks creating something structurally similar unless we address the root program
we have been on a long journey 15 billion years.
What history has shown me is that opportunity that is before us is to become Self-Aware as a species, the whole fabled Age of Aquarius that is prophesied in all major traditions is before us. The outcome is most uncertain. I believe we all chose to incarnate at this time to be the geniousus that figure it out. I am so delighted to have developed a framework and process to support this shift individually and collectively.
Community and connection is what we really want

We want to develop a game in the form of questionnaire to reach out to maximum people and provide correct information via entertainment and games. Although, many sites are available sometimes the news circulates among people are incorrect. Sometime it becomes difficult to differentiate between the correct and improper information. There are myths going all around and it mislead the people. This trails to create many other new problems along with the pandemic effect. Which leads to one more. To, avoid any such situations we have come up with the idea of giving information to people through games.
What it does
We have come to a simple solution to this problem where we have developed questions with a proper link which is either from UNICEF or Govt. site (reliable site).
Our main agenda is to provide people with accurate information through these simple questions. For this purpose, we have made a questionnaire session into five stages level 0 to level 4. Where level 0 is of very basic and general question, level 2 is all about how a person can take care of themselves so it is named as individual fight. Level 2, on the other hand, is about how a person should respond to this pandemic effect and infection of Coronaviruses, hence called name to this level.
While level 3 is all about how we should help each other and react to certain situations in the community. We haven’t neglected the mental state and situation of people in this pandemic situation. Covered in level 4.
After each and every question we have provided a reliable link that players can follow to get the right information. Also, along with questions, there are relevant links from google maps i.e. details about groceries and medical centers. This is more than a game, it is an app that will help people to keep their good terms in this pandemic. We can help each other by maintaining distance and staying together that’s what this app will do. Will keep busy in games and provide information so that everyone can help to win the fight over corona.
What's next for Conquer Corona (CC)
We want to separate fake news and correct news through this. Also in the future want to add gaming animations and geospatial real-time information to get information about the Coronavirus infected area and the location of the person. This will be added to minimize the risk of people going out by adding points to the game. Through this, we want to differentiate between correct information and fake news, along with the proper source of information. Want to keep quiz competition between players helps to correlate with each other. Planning to put game characters and function tools with preventive measures i.e. wear a mask, wash hands, etc. Want to add a link to nearby store i.e. medical facility, grocery.

The Covid19 world pandemic has changed life as we know it. With much of the world social distancing, we are called to distance, but not isolate. It’s difficult to avoid the negative effects of social distancing when we can no longer visit friends and family or go to cultural events like concerts, festivals, and theatre. Behind closed doors we are still social beings; we need to experience each other. Sharing culture is what makes us human.
Give On LIVE! takes immediate action by partnering with one interactive medium, available to everyone with internet connection: LIVEStream. Live-streaming is already the new norm, and we have given it a new home. Our mission is to gather livestream content in ONE place. A portal that fosters connection between humans. The ultimate interactive stage where we can share culture without borders.
Host a LIVEstream or Share your favorite LIVEstream Creator. Post an event on the calendar and share with the world. Give On Live is the guide to discovering, hosting, and playing through virtual social connection that makes us human. We may be called to stand apart for now, but through Give On LIVE, we can be UNITED through LIVEstream.

Your Livestream Guide
Inspiration
In this sudden time of quarantine and social distancing, many have been forced into lockdown, physically cut off from other humans. We have found that in this time #LIVEHeroes have stood up and shared their talents freely to selflessly give others entertaining options for their #PandemicSurvivalGuide. Fitness instructors and gyms have offered free livestream classes, mentors and life coaches frequently go LIVE to share advice, many institutions are hosting LIVE seminars. And perhaps most impressive is the amount of artists collaborating to raise money for needed Covid19 relief initiatives. #TogetherAtHome #BigNighIn #AndreaBoccelli #MusicForHope. Our world is coming together to share positive content and endure this time together, it deserves a home.
What it does
Our mission is to gather free live-stream in ONE place; a portal that fosters connection between humans.
Our open, crowdsourced guide brings together all the free livestream resources available. With a focus on Concerts & Festivals, MIND, BODY, SOUL, & COVID19, this guide shares daily uplifting, entertaining, and interactive resources people can engage from their computer or mobile. No matter which platform used for streaming, all information is gathered here to easily guide users.
Our Progress
We started with a Google Form, Public Calendar and a Dream; Bring hope into every home by sharing free resources in ONE easy to navigate guide.
The GLOBAL HACK - April 2020 During the Global Hack we gathered a small rockstar team and built out a simple front-end combining the Google Form and Google Calendar. We built on Wordpress and followed a theme with all the functions of a live streaming platform like YouTube. We kept it very simple, with a home landing page with categories, the full calendar, and submit form. We began recruiting LIVEAdmins to directly input new events following our community rules of engagement.
http://giveonlive.com/submit
The DATA BIO HACK - April 2020 We gathered physicists and data scientists to discover what data could tell us about what activities were available, how people were feeling, and a smart data-driven solution to recommend daily livestream to viewers we had never met. We scoured data sets and created the “Senti-me” aggregator. Using an API over Twitter we triggered collection of key words and posts. Thus we were able to gather, compare and analyze the sentiment of humans in different regions (IP addresses) This helped us to start forming our persona Thomas, an out of work creator and Tara Rose an exchange student living in the heart of the outbreak, Milano, Italy.
The EuVSVirus HACK - April 2020 We have built a mobile app for Android and IOS This has direct integration into the Google Calendar. Users can search the many listings and add to their personal agenda. There is an option to watch “Featured Daily” selections directly from the site. This will be connected to a smart bot, that uses data sets and sociology AI to recommend a curated daily agenda for viewers #MyPandemicSurvivalGuide. Also an option for “Daily Livestream” to an email with the pick of the day.
The Global AI Hackathon - April-May 2020 We have engaged in intensive research of various data sets, sentiment analysis and determined ways to use APIs to build our GetLIVE Wellness Algorithm. We had to pivot from our hypothesis and categories based on types of event to emotions critical to wellness. This allowed us to create more feasible data analysis and integrate into our recommender system. Our global team of scientists and design thinkers had helped to identify the direction for gaining a foundation of data through a beta mobile launch of users in our target and diverse profiles.

S.O.S. Hackathon -
We continue to polish our product and consider decentralized framework and opening up payment rails. We are in process of adding direct donations and payments using not only FIAT through merchant partners, but also our own custom made cryptocurrency peer to peer transfers. We have won Best Woman Led Project in this hackathon. Thank you S.O.S. Hackathon and great mentors from Ethereum Foundation.
Raise-Up Buildathon- July 2020
We begin to consider challenges and scaling including ways to make our database of LIVE content available to viewers with disabilities. We have integrated Alexa Skills so that content in the LIVEstream library can be searchable with voice. We have also added a chat bot to guide audiences to the content they seek. Our research team has compiled Cultural Institutions and City Virtual tours on the Web. We plan to reach out to these institutions directly. They will be able to access their profiles, creat events, and accept donations and ticket sales. This is possible through the Events Calendar plug-in w have installed. Thank you Modern Tribe ( Creator of the software). Our AWS account has details of Alexa Skills, Lex for chatbot, and Amazon Pay integration. Thank you Amazon!
https://github.com/giveonliverepo/aws-raiseup-hack
How we built it
We started with a simple Google Form & Calendar, and added a front-end website built on Wordpress. We began recruiting LIVEAmbassadors to add events to the calendar and recruit users to niche FB groups related to different categories.
We built a back-end aggregator to scrape events off posts on Twitter to start. These events integrate directly to the public Google Calendar and pass through a moderation portal where admins can have access to push to the system or not.
For ambassadors we will make an easy streamline way to submit livestream recommendations and hosted sessions, though integratable bots to their own calendar and eventbrite accounts.
During the EuVsVirus Hackathon we built a functioning Mobile App.
-We built using Flutter, immediately integratable for Android and IOS
-We connected an API to Google calendar that connects live to our mobile app triggers
-We used Figma to create UI/UX for both sides of our Marketplace; viewer and host
-We integrated the design into the back end
Challenges
There are endless resources and we need a scalable method to make sure content is appropriate. As we grow the host creator community we will also be challenged by maintaining an open governance that adheres to the rules of engagement.
Getting started configuring the web server was challenging. Integrating the different tech and plugins took time and strain. We had to deal with bugs. We were also working on various time zones, so team collaboration challenges. Very grateful to mentors and slack that helped us coordinate all.
Customizing features with google integration was limited to google style. We need to consider if we will keep these color and style limitations or later build from scratch. There are many benefits with so many users on google to keep as is, we are analyzing financial of labor and upkeep for staying in Google or customizing a new solution.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
In two short weeks we made a well rounded initial guide integratable with viewers personal google calendar and attracted many interested mission members.
During the EuVSVirus we have built a functioning Mobile app using Flutter that can be made available easily to both IOS and Android.
Today June 2020, we have over 50+ growing community adding their skills to the collective mission. We have launched the LIVELearn Program, admitting 5 incredible learners in career transitions. We are humbled and grateful to all the support and momentum adding value on livestream at a time.
What we learned
Livestream content, Zoom group webinars and other platforms can take time for viewers to get used to. Both hosts and participants have a learning curve to accessing content. We understand limitations and want to also embed an easy way for guide subscribers to access their livestream from GiveLIVE! app or links from personal google calendar.
What's next for Give On Live
Give, Grow, and Build. We are excited to enter various Hackathons and continue to add value to the community with more features and most importantly the interactive livestream content society needs to stay uplifted in this critical time.

Almost 3 million people are currently confined to the major cities of Madagascar. The COVID-19 has worsened the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of Malagasy who have to search today for what to eat today. However, with the lockdown measures, it is hard to be able to work as usual and to be able to move as it pleases. 70 to 80% of Malagasy population are farmers, yet they encounter difficulties in the sale of their product, the supply chains have plummeted, the opening hours of the food market are limited, without an adequate support people have to get out and works despite the lockdown measures.
Solution
"ATIRETSY"
(Local product online) is an online platform that allows both to alleviate the daily stress of the population (work-confinement-coronavirus-daily food) and to be able to sell farmers' products on time thanks to our service free delivery. It will favor the sale of 100% organic agricultural products through training sessions with partner farmers in order to strengthen the antibodies of the population. This digital solution is also a solidarity action, it does not only target the middle class or the wealthiest but also helps the most disadvantaged since on each sale made, a percentage will be set aside to feed the underprivileged class.
Our project facilitates the relationship between consumers and farmers in a most RESPONSIBLE AND SOLIDARITY manner.
How it works
Analysis of consumer needs
Look for farmers growing 100% organic products corresponding to household needs
Purchase of products + photo of partner farmers for the platform (credibility, interactivity)
Transport of products for storage places + packed baskets preparation
Putting products for sale online
Delivery of products to the final target
Percentage of each profit paid into a solidarity fund
Collaboration with each municipality to identify the most impoverished people
Feed the needy population thanks to the solidarity fund
What it does
What we will find in the platform (website) and our social networks:
Our products
menu: a user will be entitled to one (01) basket. The user will be able to customize the content of their basket. However, the sufficient quantity on each item purchased will be sufficient for all so that everyone can benefit from it - FAIR
Blog
: writing various articles providing information on healthy and balanced food, climate change, sustainable agriculture, 100% organic products, agricultural techniques adapted to climate change, the virtues of medicinal plants, ...
Food Bank
menu: People who have a surplus of food or who simply want to do solidarity actions can inform us and make food donations. In collaboration with local authorities, our team will take care of sharing them to people in need.
How I built it
In the beginning, we have created an online platform by using Shopify with domain name acquisition and hosting
Then, the creation of social networks accounts are among our must-do list (Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
We intend to formalize a partnership with the various local actors (farmers, transporters, municipality, etc.)
About the payment, we will start with the remote payment method by using mobile banking

Humanity and the local-global volunteering community lacks a multilingual open-source portal to efficiently coordinate our efforts. The current crisis also shows that central support systems can become overburdened quickly so we must act ASAP.
Let’s create an international movement of next-generation volunteering that can become a positive social norm - and can help communities even after this crisis, making a long-lasting positive impact.
More details:
https://bit.ly/help-neighbors
A blind person crossing the road.
An old man that tripped and fell.
A kid who lost their parents.
A tourist who does not know the directions.
I bet you have already been in one of those situations where you saw someone needing help. And I strongly believe that you went to them and helped out.
It is in our nature – we live and survive in a community. And how can we continue on doing so under social distancing? The needs and difficulties of performing daily tasks are still there.
Here is the piece that completes this puzzle:
Help your neighbors.
It connects the needs and the helpers by a
multilingual open-source portal
, empowering communities with a fast and safe tool to solve those daily issues.
With just a few clicks you can sign up to be a volunteer in your neighborhood, ask for assistance, or those of someone that you know that is in difficulties, either economic, social, or technological.
The applicability is as far as your imagination goes: grocery shopping, cleaning, company, walking the pets, etc. Every basic need. Volunteers must register and accept the terms and conditions, giving personal details and validating them via their mobile phone to ensure security and build trust.
There is always the need for that missing piece of the puzzle: we can be in a pandemic or not. It is very useful in both situations because the needs of people are still there.
The multinational team behind the idea started this Hackathon with the same core values: to help in some way. This weekend, the focus was to start on the translations of the website, to include the map on the portal, and structure the project.
Our goal is to go ahead with the project:
select three neighborhoods to make pilot projects, do more real-life tests and improve the foundations to bring this to communities across Europe and the world.

https://www.ncdc.gov.ng/
].
It is also the hope that it will provide a Stop Gap measure towards the Management of Post COVID19 CRISIS in Nigeria.
What it does:
Radio COVID19 in "Wazobia" would solve the problems of how to communicate effectively about COVID19 prevention, control and transmission in the three most widely spoken languages in Nigeria to areas with extremely low literacy, low smartphone penetrations and no power.
Wazobia is a forced together term of togetherness; a cliché unification of Yoruba (Wa) Hausa (Zo) and Igbo (Bia) which means "come" in the three most widely spoken languages in Nigeria
Radio COVID19 in Wazobia will connect to authentic sources of information about COVID19 via an internet Radio model however broadcasting upon translations into the 3 Wazobia languages like traditional radio broadcasting which deploys on shortwave & medium waves available on multiple platforms especially targeting vulnerable and hard to reach populations.

The world is facing an unprecedented challenge with communities and economies everywhere affected by the growing COVID-19 pandemic. As the world is coming together to combat the COVID-19 pandemic bringing governments, organizations from across industries and sectors and individuals together to help respond to this global outbreak, we would like to participate in this hackathon and contribute to society.The outpouring of global solidarity and support sparked by this shared challenge has been phenomenal.
Many medical appointments and surgeries (that do not require immediate attention) are being postponed due to Covid-19 and new appointments are made only when there is utmost necessity. Some appointments are conducted over telephone or video-calls, but many of them are being postponed to an unknown future. Each hospital/ family doctor is attempting to cope with the situation on their own. It often happens that doctors are rescheduling the appointments to the future, while they could make better use of remote appointments right now.
How to reorganize the appointments so that people can get the help they need on time and have timely information about what to expect?
What's next for Managing post-crisis medical appointment waiting lists: . Reorganize appointments so that people can get the help they need on time. Taking critical appointments to make proper utilization of Dr's time. pre-onboarding & need assessment of insurance company. This will help to meet the expectations level of patient and it will help to streamline medical practice.

Inspiration
Inspiration comes from the ideas and jokes discussed with my colleagues, after which it started to look like a useful and needed application in our current situation. People are in need of connection as never before, but there is no platform as simple as that available to instantly help get connected with the purpose to actually contribute to the solidarity movement initiated as we fight coronavirus now. We want to launch one centralized platform for the above-described purpose and extend it with features like psychologist rooms, top recommended activities (such as online courses) to do while quarantined, sharing costs of delivery of goods with your neighbor, possibly classrooms and make this product look like an interactive game with character stats advises on what to get when shopping and how to behave properly to minimize risks.

This hackathon idea - display social distancing distance between people in a frame in AR.
Our team, part 1
Our team, part 2
Inspiration
Originally, XSight idea is inspired by following.
Time is our most precious commodity. It doesn’t matter where you are, who you are or how rich you are. Everyone has the same fixed supply of time: 24 hours. And we believe that XSight major value is that: it’s going to save us time.
Like, where is your friend in the people crowd?
Or who is this pretty person on the street?
Or which sedan on the street is your Uber cab?
It is almost impossible right now to interact online based on what you see in the real world.
And this is what we are trying to solve at XSight.
Our mission is to merge virtual and real worlds.
During pandemic times one thing that drives people crazy - is when they see other people not respecting social distancing. I think some stores are doing a great job with "social distancing" themed stickers on the floor and on the walls, but some other stores and places haven't done much. So why don't we show the distance to every person in a frame and the distance between people in a frame using smartphone camera in realtime? This will save time to our users to identify, whether it is safe to stand where they stand now, and to understand if the path they are walking is safe in terms of respecting social distancing. For example, if you can see two persons standing on the street and talking, and it's less than 2 meters distance between them - you'd better walk on another side of this street to minimise your chances of getting infected. In other words, we want to save people time by showing them distances between people, so people can just use XSight Social Distancing Camera instead of calculating approximate sitances in their heads on the fly.
What it does
XSight is a hyper-local social app that lets you connect with people and places around you - using just your camera.
Point your camera to a person on the street, and you'll see his/her social profile hologram floating on top of his/her head in real-time, click this hologram and message this person instantly.
While XSight itself can help connecting people without close contact, we want to make a step further and introduce a new mode for our app - SocialDistancing Camera. We will add two features:
Displaying distance from current user to every person in the frame.
Displaying distance between people in the frame. If this distance is less than recommended for social distancing - this information will be highlighted with red colour.
How we built it
XSight is a native mobile app available for Android and iOS. We use variety of different tools and techniques to achieve 2 cm accuracy.
Our key advantage - we can display information not only mapped to static objects like cafes or museums, but also mapped to dynamic real-time moving objects in the camera viewfinder. We use Sensor Fusion, Machine Learning and Computer Vision algorithms to achieve this.
Challenges we ran into
Smartphone hardware performance was a real challenge. We had to improve our algorithms performance 20 times, compared to where we've started. Currently we can achieve close to 15 frames per second.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We talked to many prospective users and found out that 95% of our targeted users are looking forward to use an app like XSight - according to our research.
We have 50.000 lines of code, hundreds of design drafts, one interactive prototype, one website and video demo of the product. Looking forward to our first release Android and iOS apps any time soon!
What we learned
We learned that users are always concerned about privacy. Every second prospective user asks us - "what if I don't want to be recognizable now?". And the answer to this - of course we will respect privacy settings. As a user you can choose to be publicly recognizable by anyone or only by your friends.
What's next for XSight Social Distancing Camera
Next step for XSight Social Distancing Camera will be to use this information about distance to and between people in the frame and display even more relevant data on top of the real world - display a safe way. So the user can follow our hints to walk his path in a way that reduces his/her chances to be infected.

This pandemic has caused a lot of people to lose hope and the thought that they won't be able to communicate with another person, not including family, may fill them with loneliness. That's why we want to create an app or a website.
What it does
The website would show tasks that people in their communities or cities could accomplish with other people and it would encourage them to progress and to find the friends to whom they can talk to after the quarantine will be lifted.
To be more specific, it will be a website, where people would find tasks and bonus objectives. For instance, one week will be tied to a particular topic and people will have to draw, take a photo of, animate or do anything else creatively. There will also be additional objectives people can try to incorporate in their work, which will be more challenging.
How we built it
We built a website in wordpress and mostly relied on elementor, an editing plugin. A design template was used and then we polished it: created new pages, edited them both on the front and back ends.
Challenges we ran into
Because half of us were first year bachelor chemistry students and the other half were first year bachelor program systems students, it was extremely difficult to fit into the time of this hackathon, because we did not know how to use wordpress before using it.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of the fact that we created a functional website from scratch with a program we didn't know how to use beforehand.
What we learned
We learned how to use wordpress and other valuable skills.

Inspiration
The trouble I faced when designing a room or buying a product say a couch or a painting was that at most times I was unable to visualize the size of the product and the space it would occupy in the room. It was also difficult to imagine how different products and colors would come together to make a beautiful design.
While there are many apps to discover products and design inspirations, there are few that give you a clean canvas to visualize your room. You will still have to imagine. I could not complete that beautiful image from Pinterest to a reality.
Given COVID times, making this industry digital for home owners, designers and product merchants to ensure business continuity is the need of the hour.
What it does
SuperBotler will give every person on the planet a personal digital doll-house of their real home. You can go room by room to visualize any product or design. The designs will be contributed by designers from around the world. The products come from various popular and partner brands and merchants. You can really “Try before you Buy” any furniture and décor.
The user can either search for their home in our catalog of homes or upload the blueprint /floorplan of their home to get a 3D of their home within 24 hours.
How I built it
The platform was more focussed towards designers. The Covid challenge allowed us to rework the flows so that everyone around the planet could use it. Today we have a consumer website that is pretty much production ready.
Challenges I ran into
Integrating the 3D environment with the web components was a challenge. We are building a mobile version too which will be ready to use by 7th April. We ran into a bunch of issues from the day we started but we have overcome most.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We have a functional website that runs on a laptop/desktop. We have nearly built a mobile app that could go live in April for both android and ios. This wasnt possible if not for the COVID challenge. Most importantly we are proud to say that not only will be be able to make rooms/homes , that are protecting us today, beautiful but also provide a mechanism for business continuity for the design, furniture and decor industries.
What I learned
We learnt that we can overcome the challenge of effectively working from home and collaborate to build a great platform.

Inspiration
I read a lot of reports on the surge of 911 calls, this inspired me to find a solution and participate in the hackathon contest.
What it does
Our idea involves reducing the no of calls the covid-19 helpline gets in order to avoid people from waiting for a long time. About 80% of people who get Covid-19 experience a mild case – about as serious as a regular cold – and recover without needing any special treatment. We found an innovative idea which will allow this 80 % of the people to use non-traditional means of reporting their symptoms. We will also allow people who need urgent care to be able to send a priority message to the authorities. This will be very useful when the no of cases is very high.
How I built it
We have used HTML, CSS, PHP, and SQL.
Challenges I ran into
We ran into many challenges. One of the major challenges we faced was at the end of day 1, we had to make a major decision on changing the language we had to use. This was a major decision because it involved shifting of roles. Luckily, we made the right call.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The fact that we were successfully able to deliver a prototype within 48 hours and we were among the top 300 teams to be selected is something I'm extremely proud of.
What I learned
We have learned a lot of things. One thing I have learned is that teamwork and greater collaboration will allow us to make amazing products.
What's next for Covid-19 Emergency Software Suite
We would like to allow the emergency service staff members to only be able to view the list of people who are in their respective locations. Ex: Emergency staff of Amsterdam should only be able to view the details of people from Amsterdam.
We would also like to add more filters for the general section. This will help the emergency responders to filter people in the general category based on age or symptoms.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/corona-mask-detector | Inspiration
People are living in fear amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Some cannot afford the protective gear against the virus. Some feel unsafe because they cannot see who around them has a high risk of being a transmitter of the virus. Some do not have the right knowledge about what they should do during this pandemic.
The use of masks and thermometers have been acknowledged as forefront measures for protection and early detection of the coronavirus. Wouldn’t it be better if we have a solution which combines the benefits of both?
Our team, COVID-19 Early Detection Intelligence from Thailand, proposes an intelligent system consisting of a body-temperature-sensitive facial mask and a simple but smart monitoring platform, which together can create a visual map of low-risk vs. high-risk citizens. This information can be utilized to help make high-level decisions, such as zoning and resource allocation, to make the most effective and timely moves in response to this rapid widespread of COVID-19.
What it does
The first part of this “COVID-19 Early Detection Intelligence” project is the mask itself.
The mask will be made by a special paper or a paper with the thermochromic substances that can change the color when the temperature change. It can be a three-layer mask, where the outer layer is waterproof to protect any sprayed liquids; the middle layer is protected against a smaller particles; and the inner later is food-graded paper with thermochromic substances, which will not be harmful to the skin or health. For people with high-fewer wearing this mask, when they speak, cough, or sneeze, the mask can detect the humidity with high temperature above the threshold level and automatically change the color.
The second part of this “Corona Masks Detector” project is on the AI systems to detect the changed color.
The Computer Vision with artificial intelligence (CV–AI) through CCTV or Video Camera can detect the color of the mask. With the precision of the CV-AI nowadays, the error rate in capturing the pattern of the changed color is relatively low. When the CV-AI detects those patients with high temperature (the color of mask is changed), the real-time analytics can be run; for instance, 35% of people wearing this mask in this Zone “A” have a relatively high temperature, which signal that they are a very high risk group. Such information can be used for government to make better decision.
How I built it
Our mask contains a thermochromic paper whose color changes according to the temperature of the liquid it touches. When the wearer having a high body temperature coughs, sneezes, or just speaks, the color of the mask will automatically change from light brown to dark brown. The outer layer of the mask is water-repellent, giving protection to the wearer, similar to a medical grade surgical mask. Our mask is affordable and easy to wear, making it available and accessible to everyone. The color of the mask is easily detectable and interpreted by a monitoring system, built on a computer vision with artificial intelligence camera. The system can generate a visual map of individuals with normal vs. high body temperature, providing necessary guidelines for medical staff, policy makers, and law enforcers.
Our solution addresses the safety issues as our masks are made with food-grade materials and our monitoring system serves as an accurate, fast, data-rich, non-contact method for early detection of the COVID-19 symptom.
The big investment is for the city or government to invest on the computer vision AI (CV-AI) to detect the color of the mask including the database management, real-time analytics, and IoT.
Challenges I ran into
How can we make people wear this mask. For this solution to be effective, everyone in the community need to use this mask.
This mask must be cost effective. The cost of the mask should not cost more than 1.7 cent per piece.
We are not sure how temperature or humidity might affect the level of mask’s sensitivity.
The culture of the country might affect how people adopt this mask. Some people might view this mask to be intrusive
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Our idea is to turn hidden information such as the symptoms of the coronavirus to be visible through our mask. Such valuable information can help the city to perform zoning activities (Alert Zone, Early Detection Zone), which can signal the city mayor about resource allocation, decision making involved the city, business, or school closure. The hospital can gain the benefits from such information to better utilize the staffs’ capacity, prepare for staff scheduling due to the alert from the government.
Another point is that people is afraid of reality telling the truth about being infected, for instance. Thus, our system can provide a higher level of signals rather than attacking the privacy of each person. The information should be relatively enough for the city to setup an emergency policy or early detect and signals about livelihood or virus incidents. Additionally, our COVID-19 early detection intelligence can potentially save at least 8 billion dollars per million population from cutting down on the costs of late detection and treatment at a 50% reduced infection rate.
What I learned
We learn to solve the problem as a team. Our team consists of experts from both management and technical fields. In addition, we are a group of design thinkers from Thailand. We apply design thinking approach to solve this problem. We hope that our solution will solve this crisis.
What's next for Corona Mask Detector
According to the National Coronavirus Response, American Enterprise Institute, the COVID-19 pandemic can be classified into 4 phases, i.e. “Slow the spread”, “State-by-State Reopening”, “Establish Immune Protection and Lift Physical Distancing During Phase”, and “Rebuild Our Readiness for the Next Pandemic” respectively.
Our solution could effectively perform as a surveillance system that can identify those who have a very chance of Covid-19 infection. Consequently, it can signal which districts or cities are in the red or green zone. So, it can help government to accurately create zoning for better managing their hospital facilities and businesses. That is the benefit for Phase I that every country around the world are faced currently except China. Our solution might help all of them to anticipate COVID-19 and rapidly move toward to Phase II: State-by-State Reopening with sufficient critical-care capacities.
Furthermore, it can be scalable to use around countries to monitor new cases and prevent from going back to Phase I again. Our solution could be a part of the national policy to maintain the pandemic situation at the Phase II as long as possible before the vaccine of COVID-19 will be created, i.e. Phase III.
Finally, to put our plan into work, we will be partnering with Computer Vision providers, thermochromic paper suppliers, and AI providers.

Our inspiration grew from seeing people in our local communities struggling financially because of this worldwide crisis. When asked if they have anywhere to ask for help, only a few said more than 'no'. We got to thinking, and decided to use our IT skills to help them get through these troubling times by creating a community-based help outreach platform.

‘Open Pandemic’ is free to use for every country affected by COVID-19.
The first ERP system for handling the pandemic situation is designed to help with the management and mitigation of the current COVID-19 outbreak. Currently there is no process or platform to address this problem, from the government, through the health system, to citizens, and at the same time incorporating the economic and pandemic impact.
The application would also be extremely useful for monitoring the development of the infection during and after the mitigation of this pandemic, for the prevention of its reoccurrence, and last but not least for the management of future epidemics.
A big plus is that the system can be fully or partially integrated with different platforms, solutions and tracking applications already used by local authorities.
The solution is open-source and free under license and consists of a central platform for monitoring, analytics and management, and a mobile application, for location and information sharing.
The system helps, both, governments or relevant bodies, tasked with managing a viral spread, and the general population by providing app users with analytics-based notifications and a waze-like peer-to-peer reporting functionality for groupings and gatherings around supermarkets, pharmacies and public places.
Such a system can aid governments in their efforts to direct their limited resources where they are most effective towards limiting, both, the live losts and the economic consequences of the outbreak. It aims to provide tools for the numerous phases of the outbreak. Assistance and real-time information is paramount for the isolation and lock-down phase, its effectiveness and enforcement monitoring.
It is, however, equally important to manage the process of loosening the restrictions and provide data-based decisions on the reduction of the lock-down. A modular and analytics-based loosening of measures for areas where it is probabilistically safer to do so will be of high importance to the safety of people and the faster economic recovery of nations. Moreover, people with a lower risk of being infected and carrying the disease can be identified and can have permissions lifted for them, thus limiting their impact on the outbreak and the economy.
It includes a central platform with 14 different modules, including a powerful predictive analytics module to help institutions with resource management and a 100% anonymous mobile application for location and information exchange. The idea of the whole system goes far beyond geo-tracking models, like the ones that Apple and Google launched recently. One of the most important factors is that the whole system is fully compliant with last Friday's European regulations.
The central platform helps health authorities to manage the pandemic on all levels enabling them to see the big picture of the spread, as well as the smallest local infections. It includes real-time heat maps, resource management for health authorities and powerful predictive algorithms for hospitals, laboratories and government bodies.
The predictive analytics modelling enables capacity planning, ICU admissions, patients requiring respirators, test scheduling, number of beds, available hospital staff, etc. These estimates are generated using the most complex and fully working SIR model that we developed with PhDs in Statistics and Topology at Oxford University. Also, all modules of the system are tested to run with 16 million data points so that we make sure it is fully functional and debugged.
The mobile application has the potential for a massive adoption by the general public due to its 100% anonymity and GDPR compliance. It also has many benefits for the user such as analytics-based notifications, test scheduling, peer-to-peer reporting for supermarkets, pharmacies or other public places queues or gatherings, travel permits, park walks scheduling and other modules that make your life easier.
The system
We have adopted best-practices from countries that have successfully utilized technology already to manage the crisis — Japan, South Korea, and China. Their experience proves, and that can’t be stressed enough- that the restrictive measures alone, without an intelligent technology solution for crisis management, are not efficient enough. We are applying our expertise in ERP healthcare systems in a solution which we provide for free to help countries fight COVID-19.
Users will have the possibility to track and self-report their current health and receive personalized advice and notifications based on their data. The gathering and storage of these data will be completely anonymous and will be used for the algorithm, determining the zone with higher probability of infection.
Users can get quick access to information, regulations, and advice, distributed through the central platform and, upon need, can get directions to a hospital or other institutions for receiving help.
Initially the idea was to build just a geolocation service to track people’s trajectories, similar to other such existing systems, but we quickly realized that this information only gives a limited view over the relevant data and is not sufficient to inform truly efficient decision making.
The solution consists of a mobile app for use by citizens and a central platform for use by the authorized country/health service personnel. It is possible for a country only to take the central platform and use their own apps and data sources. The key pillars of the solution are Monitoring, Analysis, Communication and Capacity Management.
Mobile app
The mobile app has a focus on providing real-time information, notifications and warnings, having a personal health profile, access to quick reliable data, and receiving medical advice.
Based on their location, users of the application will receive notifications of probable contacts with positively tested people or upon entering or exiting a geographical zone with increased probability of contracting COVID-19. Zones and probabilities are determined by the algorithms in the central platform, using multiple data sources in conjunction with the data provided by users of the mobile application.
A self-submitting functionality allows users to further mark crowding or big lines of more people at supermarkets, pharmacies or public places, on a map, for other users and themselves to see. The mechanism for user-submission is backed by the option to confirm or reject submissions by other users, mitigating the risk of false reporting and incorrect data. The number of confirmations is marked on the map, next to the icon, indicating the crowding. This functionality will mitigate the initial need for a large user base and data and allows users to quickly start receiving actionable and relevant insights, thus increasing the utility to users and their overall engagement and adoption of the application. It is planned for this feature to also allow users to self-submit and mark stores and retail locations where regulations or standards violations occur, which further protects users and pinpoints the government efforts.
People will decide whether to use the app anonymously or to share their identity.
Central Platform
The central platform is used for real-time monitoring and analysis. It is driven by a graphical (map) interface. Users can be tracked. Quarantine zones can be set. Messages can be sent to users. Possible to drill-down to specific cases and take action (e.g. set quarantine, schedule test, ..).
Security & Privacy
Only authorized health and government institutions of the country implementing the system will have access to people’s health information, and this will be restricted to specific users.
Users can decide to register anonymously if they wish, and can also decide to only using manual tracking.
Quarantine zones management
When a given zone- be it an ATM machine, a supermarket, a hospital, or simply a geographical area - is marked as infected and is put under quarantine, people who have been in contact with this zone will be notified and can be quarantined and/or tested with priority.
Digital certificates for movement
We are working on a module that will support authorized persons movement during any lock-down scenario. Forms/certificates from employers may be uploaded, validated and subsequently checked by authorized persons (e.g. police) or at check-points.
Management of crucial resources
In order to achieve a full understanding of the situation, real-time information about critical resources in a health crisis management is included, namely: hospitals and laboratories and test centers.
Hospitals- location, number of beds- ICU and regular, availabilities; personnel available; ventilators and other equipment- total number of units and availabilities by location; institution quarantine status;
Laboratories and test centers— information about test types and availabilities, processing times;
Testing prioritizing, scheduling and results
The system supports optimal prioritizing of tests for people in a higher risk due to either symptoms or contact. Tests can be scheduled by time and location with results delivered electronically together with any recommended actions.
Additional modules
There are already additional modules being worked on to enhance even further the information and capabilities. These include:
ATM Monitoring
ATM machines can also be monitored. Based on transaction data, the platform has data of users that have interacted with a specific ATM machine. The system will not have any information regarding the performed transactions and will not violate bank secrecy and will be based on an identification system, not providing or accessing personal information. Such a feature can be introduced with the explicit request and management by a government.
Depending on availability information about people who have interacted with given ATM machine will be based on bank information. This will not violate bank secrecy as the system will not have any knowledge about the types of operations, it will simply know the identity of the person who has used the ATM if allowed by the government.
Transportation module
The geolocational method is not optimal for the case of public transport as access to GPS data is inconsistent. That’s why the system will work with QR codes. Each vehicle- from taxis to trains- will have a QR code which the users can scan to state their contact with this particular vehicle. People will be notified in case a vehicle they have been in contact with is consequently marked as infected. That’s one of the things South Korea did to fight the spreading of the virus.
Predictive analytics module
We are planning for a predictive analytics module based on mathematical models. The specific advantage here is the customization of parameters regarding the areas- number of residents, population density, number of most probable contact points and mobility rating. These parameters will vary for a small village and a big city in order to obtain more accurate results as opposed to looking at entire countries.
GDPR and EU law compliance
One of the main aspects is the use of this temporary identification code, so that the phone number, device number or your name are not associated with your device. All the modules of the platform are fully compliant with the latest EU regulations published on 16 April.
In Summary
We are learning from the proven successful strategies of the countries that have dealt with the crisis with notably low fatalities rates. We are working towards improving these strategies.
A crisis of such scale can only be ended with the joint efforts of all people- from the medical professionals fighting at the frontline to the executive officials in the crisis management teams’ headquarters, who need analytic insight to make the right decisions. Each person can contribute to a successful outcome by being responsible.
We are working really hard to complete the solution development as soon as possible. Version 1 is available from the 2nd week of April. Each country that chooses to implement the system will have access to the source code free, under license. They will have the right to work with it in whatever way they find necessary and useful- change the code or add to it, during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are partnering with m-cloudware to support international availability and implementation.
We believe that we must not panic in the face of this undoubtedly major crisis. We must act in a timely, intelligent and disciplined manner in order to — and it really boils down to — save as many lives as possible.

We know that the world is still dependent mostly on non-renewable sources of energy with 45% of the energy coming from coal and 25% from natural gas. These sources though are easily available and are cheap, they cause pollution. Also, according to research, we will run out of these sources in the next 50 years.
What it does
Recently we have turned to many renewable sources like solar panels, windmills, and hydroelectricity to use them as a cleaner and environmentally friendly energy source. These sources are environment-friendly but are costly to set up. Thus, it is extremely important to act against this issue by using cheaper alternatives. We are solving the problem of energy crunch by harnessing the energy of vehicles using piezoelectric materials on roads which are cheap and easily available.
How I built it
We are placing circular ceramic piezo-sensors below the road, rumble strips and speed breakers so that the entire mechanical stress of the vehicle directly acts on the sensor which will, in turn, generate the energy and hence can be stored. In short, we are utilising waste transport energy. Our future avenues include putting this concept to harness the waste energy in railways and also to put these materials inside the tyre of a car to generate and harvest the energy that is wasted as of now.
Challenges I ran into
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We have devised a concept to harvest the waste energy in our day to day life by using the concept of piezoelectricity to harness waste mechanical energy of the city traffic through speed breakers and rumble strips. Using piezoelectric transducer, we have created the most efficient design to date such that the efficiency of the product is maximum. When the piezo sensor experiences a load it changes its shape and converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of an electric signal. Then the energy of this electrical signal eventually gets stored in the nearest battery in the electricity grid. As the output of the piezoelectric sensor is an AC type of electric signal, thus it is very easy to transport it to longer distances without much loss of energy. This energy can be used for purposes like lighting street lights.
The proposed method is inspired from existing researches and a few new modifications have been incorporated, based on our experimental calculations to yield the best possible results and to make the electricity production with the help of roads, speed breakers and rumble strips more and more efficient and relevant for their practical implementation in the present era.

People all over the world are eating, without any support on how to be healthy and the real impact this has on your happiness and wellbeing.
Furthermore, millions of jobs are being slashed with the pandemic. People know how to cook homemade, and the few who are still working need healthy and convenient food to keep going (think healthcare workers!)
We believe that health is achieved through good nutrition, and good nutrition should be convenient.
What it does
It helps kitchens and chefs put their meals on a platform and people to order food from them.
We use the current courier services for any city (Uber Eats, Bolt Food, Wolt, etc)
How we built it
This was born out of the frustration of having family members die due to poor health.
We are a small group of Business, Marketing, Engineers who are learning a lot, coding a lot and trying to help.
Challenges we ran into
We are currently facing the main problems of the COVID. Many industries are down, so we need to adjust.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We created a small app available in our site koki.to
What we learned
That no matter how hard something is, a crisis can bring us all together to try to help and build a better world.
What's next for Kokito
We need to find customers and spread the message. Achieve true product market fit.

In normal circumstances, we would have 16 cases in mediation every week in Estonia, that’s an average of 860 per year. Due to the spread of COVID-19 and the need to abstain from physical contact, we among many countries have been forced to shut down victim offender mediation and other restorative justice services.It is troubling to see rise as well as transformation of conflicts in communities, families and among juveniles while being unable to provide mediation services due to the isolation requirements.
Examples of the most pronounced conflicts are:
Juveniles disregarding the requirement to stay indoors, isolated from their peers, are raising the risk of spreading the virus. Moreover, we are seeing transformations in delinquent behaviour where youngsters approach people in the public space, cough in their face and threaten to infect them.
Domestic disputes between spouses or partners escalating due to the need to stay isolated from others except the the immediate family.
Intensifying arguments between parents and children, notably teenagers, and the inability or lack of skills to solve these without an outside mediator/facilitator.
Restorative justice is considered an effective way to solve conflicts and restore peace in the community. In normal circumstances – which is not where we currently are - mediation involves preparatory meetings with all the relevant parties separately and a common meeting with all the parties present. With the help of trained mediators, the parties strive to resolve the conflict and come up with a common understanding on how to achieve justice and healing in the face of their particular crime or conflict. All parties are given the opportunity to express their feelings and perceptions of the offence, with the meetings aiming to reach an agreement on the steps the offender(s) will take to repair the harm suffered by the victim(s). For mediation to work, the mediators need to create a safe and supporting atmosphere during the meeting.
We have seen remarkable results with this model involving face-to-face meetings.
But how could we do it now, when physical meetings are not an option?
With the stress levels rising due to isolation and the threat of infection, there is a need to find a solution for providing restorative services, most particularly mediation, without physically meeting. The solution we are looking for, should enable us to create a safe and functioning online environment that is easy to access, enables identification, does not require high-level IT skills and provides protection of personal data and online security. | Conflict Resolution during Crises: Practicing RJ Online | Restorative justice helps to solve conflicts and restore peace in the community.

Dear The Global Hack representatives,
I hope that in this time of pandemic this message finds you healthy.
I am Drilon Llalloshi, 30 years old. I am from Kosovo and live in Berlin. B.A. in Media & Graphic Communication Management and International Relations. Former Search and Rescue Officer of the Kosovo Security Force and former Kosovo's National swimming representation team member. I now am an instructor of this sport and a student of the master's level for International Security Management at Berlin University of Economics and Law.
Pandemics is one of the issues of prestige in my curriculum and today I want to share with you the project proposal regarding physical fitness and healthy nutrition during the global COVID-19 crisis.
Since the Olympic Games were supposed to take place this year but unfortunately had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 crisis, I acknowledged the need to create a centralised digital platform to bring together all the athletes as the main entity of promoting a well maintained health globally.
While isolated, people are likely to develop unnecessary health conditions since physical activity is restrained and at the same time food consumption is tentatively rising. Moreover, the mental impact of the current crisis should not be underrated, as this could also have a great influence in physical health. With that being said, it is very important to promote physical fitness and healthy nutrition on a global scale. Who else would influence this aspect better than athletes and their peers?
Indicating that, as International Security Managers our target audience and field of close surveillance are those who are not infected by COVID-19. Also, our goal is to keep their health in normal standards, while healthcare authorities are dealing with the infected individuals. As such we will intend to keep people healthy around the world in order not to overwhelm the healthcare institutions.
The question that we can raise and even have the International Olympic Committee supporting us is: How can 2020 Olympic athletes influence their nations' citizens to remain healthy during the current pandemic?
And the potential answer is: The online platform that we intend to build will give them the opportunity to be close to their nations' citizen without having to leave the house, which is quite important in this crisis. In this regard they demonstrate daily home workout plans as well as homemade food recipes. With that they will also promote particular locally grown or manufactured products, ingredients and recipes. Hence, they will still be able to guide citizens as sports ambasadors who participated in the Olympic Games.
My brainstorming motto is:
We can beat COVID-19 but for that we have to continue being healthy in order to not develop a weak immune system and save the energy of healthcare personnel by reducing the number of patients.
I intend to draw attention and above all to bring this initiative to life and support everybody around the world to sustain good health during this time when physical activity has dramatically decreased in quarantine. We can defeat the virus but for that we must have a strong immunity and not be open to other diseases that can threaten us as a result of the passivity imposed to fight this virus.
In this crisis I invite the National Olympic Committees and through their channels International Olympic Committee to help me place this idea out as soon as possible by giving me the opportunity to collect self made video materials from the Olympic 2020 athletes around the world. Me and my team are eager to build a prototype web page, and have the idea presented to The Global Hack so together we will potentially be the factor to start downsloping the curve of the infected individuals with COVID-19 in the world.

WORLDONLINEOLYMPICS
While the whole world is facing the COVID-19 crisis, we came up with the idea of raising global awareness of physical well-being and decreasing the number of patients in the healthcare institutions. Being quarantined is one of the most valuable sacrifices people can make to reduce the spread of the virus. However, isolation can have negative effects on the human body as physical activity decreases and food consumed under these conditions can be healthwise regressive.
The world will face economic, political and social difficulties during and after this crisis. Thus, humans must be aware of their continued well-being. Physical fitness and nutrition as the basics of life is a topic we plan to launch as a digital platform. Personal safety is the number one priority for all human beings and to maintain this attribute we must be physically capable to keep fit. Moreover, food as another fundamental factor in our lives plays a key role in dealing with any kind of situation or crisis.
As an initial idea, this platform will be an online site or a landing page in the International Olympic Committee website accessible to all, which will be informative about the importance of physical activity as well as utilizing nutrition during the “stay at home” time.
The main mission of WORLDONLINEOLYMPICS is to raise social awareness about physical health and nutrition during the fight against the COVID-19 on the global scale. As such, it aims to engage all the athletes that were supposed to compete in the 2020 Olympic Games in a single online platform to promote healthy physical fitness during quarantine.
The global impact will be tremendously influential to fighting COVID-19 by having all of them in one single platform and emphasising the importance of staying home and yet keeping a focus on maintaining good health.
This can be done by having athletes provide self made videos showing different exercises at home for a marathon video publication and have them promote a healthy lifestyle. For example, collecting 12 videos with home workout and 12 videos of healthy cooking from Olympic athletes every day and publish them every hour in order to have the audience's attention on a constant basis and impose staying at home. Videos then will remain accessible on the platform for everyone on demand. Moreover, athletes can always go to their privat social media and share the whole experience. This will increase the reach for a healthier lifestyle.
I intend to have the International Olympic Committee involved in WORLDONLINEOLYMPICS to extend influence to National Olympic Committees for cooperation. Every athlete that was supposed to compete in the 2020 Olympics will be asked to be in front of a standardised setup of their personal media communication devices at a certain time for a certain period from their home. The goal for this is to engage the users by doing a workout session and a healthy meal program. Moreover, every country will have the opportunity to promote local basic as well as manufactured food and ingredients through their sport representatives.
WORLDONLINEOLYMPICS intends to collect video materials with physical exercises that can potentially be applied by everyone at home in order to replace the movement and activity they have usually done without being in quarantine. Furthermore, meals that are available in the countries of the athletes are being promoted in order to reach their population and have the audience eat healthy.
The website shall be accessible to all those who have access to the internet and will be in English language, whereas the provided videos of the athletes can be in their respective national language with subtitles in every language for a massive impact.
In order to make the echo around the world everyone, especially social media influencers, can start using the hashtag #WORLDONLINEOLYMPICS by making a video of themselves cooking or exercising at home based on what their beloved athlete has promoted.
If the crisis will exceed the total duration of all combined videos of all the athletes, we will extend our activity to other forms of influence by having other sport members like trainers, referees, doctors and other entities involved in the Olympic family.
Lastly, the whole project can be narrowed down only for Kosovo. And have golden medalist Majlinda Kelmendi and her friends promote good health and well-being during quarantine. But, we aim to be the country to leave a mark in Olympics history.
Looking forward to receiving feedback from you.

As shops closed, movement is restricted and everyone is forced to go online. Yet small retailers and brick and mortar shops don't have the ability or speed to be able to open an online store and manage it. Over 80% of purchases still happen over the phone or walk-ins. At the same time consumers are getting online payment cards much faster as banks and wallets grow. We want to bridge this gap by enabling any store to accept online payments without opening a webshop.
What it does
Take order on the phone, send a payment link through sms or social messaging channels, get paid and deliver.
Merchants have a simple app, KYC is done remotely, and settlement is also digital.
How we built it
It is fully app based solution that has a simple interface. Once the account is issued to the merchant, they just need the customer phone number to issue payment requests and get paid.
Challenges we ran into
KYC is still manual because of the regulations, and many of the complications around getting the payment license area hiccup. Eventually the prices will also be the factors that determines how we could grow.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
App built and tested in 1 week
What we learned
Engage regulators early, and payment service providers are a pain to work with.
What's next for Civis
Test the MVP, have more people use it, and build a growth plan for how to roll it out fast. Join us!

Being closer to technologies we started receiving questions from friends and friends of friends what tools and techniques we would suggest for them to deliver online training. It appeared that it is not only for professional gym trainers, but also usual people who do the different job - even my accountant started doing Yoga classes via Zoom!
We discovered that although there are tools which can be adopted for the situation, they usually lack a common view or some specific features needed. So we thought - why not to help people by creating a one-stop-solution for what they really need?
What it does
One-stop-solution - to create classes, invite and manage attendants, stream and record content, engage and motivate the audience and accept payments.
How we built it
We plan to create a common infrastructure that covers all the necessary functionality, including connecting to a payments gateway.
Challenges we ran into
We need to create both easy and secure platform in order not to go into potential privacy issues that Zoom run into.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We run a survey gathering feedback from trainers in fitness and education teachers, which showed shortcomings in existing solutions and proved that there is a market need.
What we learned
People need one common solution that helps everyone to deliver trainings or education online.
What's next for One-stop-shop training hub
After creating MVP we will continue to develop it based on customer feedback. Our goal is 20% or professional trainers market.
