9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/my-check-up | People don't have support while recovering from corona at home. As pressure increases on the healthcare system, less medical staff will be available to assist and the 1177 queues will increase. People will be worried, and their cases will be handled slower.
One person who has Corona virus infects 2,5 more people. By the end of April half of the population will be infected. This means that 1 136 034 people will show symptoms and while about 20% will need immediate hospitalisation, the rest of them will stay home, isolated.
Patients who are staying home, according to our interviews, feel themselves not properly supported by the healthcare, especially when they feel that they are starting to experience more severe symptoms.The stress and worry has already been proven to slow down recovery and to increase calls to 1177, which is the first touch point with the patients.
The solution is a self reporting application (or website) where stay-at-home patients can log how their symptoms develop (by using self assessment and simple -cheap tools like thermometer, smart watch and pulsoximeter) and notifies medical staff when the symptoms reach a risk area. Namely, medical professionals can decide which combination of self reported symptoms warrants intervention from their end.
This, not only will make the patients feel more safe and supported even at a distance, but also allow for an easier way to care for patients at home and to catch severe cases at an earlier point.
The data stored will help into developing further research on the virus, of which, right now, there are still many hidden features. Hopefully, having a better overview on what happens on people who not necessarily are hospitalised will show new ways to fight Covid-19.
It can be scalable to Sweden and to other health care system, by re-adapting the system to local organisations.
My Check-up will:
offer patients from home the support that they are right now missing, by providing as well a better self-overview of their situation
allow for better check-up on patients from the medical professional side, in a more automated way, which can help the staff to save precious time
automate the first touch point with healthcare
act promptly when necessary, hopefully saving lives
diminish hospital overload
provide helpful data for further research on the virus

Food resources getting more vital every day and the quality will decrease. So, our team decided to make a project where users can have an online farm, they will decide what to plant, you will be able to monitor it from your home.
What it does
User has high quality groceries and knows what will be delivered to his house.
How I built it
Website will be an game with live feed from the farm and user will learn how to grow and receive live feedback from the farmer.
Website will have animation of plants growing and webcam will give them ability to wee it in real time.
Challenges I ran into
Time pressure. Problems that I need a lot of cameras to setup and send the live to the user
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
First time I made little greenhouse and grew the vegetables.
What I learned
Hydroponic and quadraphonic systems are what we need now, and in future
What's next for Online Farmer

Shaped over the past 15 years this is nothing short of a full redesign of how we work and live using technology and beyond it. We need to trace our movements without the potential for surveillance. We are witnessing the damage of trust in giving our data to organisations. We are searching for new ways to connect with each-other in this time. Make sense of the world. Our feeds are not helpful. Information is lost and our noisy world is anything but curated. We may have access to more but so much is not retrievable or quickly overwritten. We find ourselves locked into boxed in video feeds to feel human again. Events and physical spaces are desperate to recreate what they once had online but nothing quite holds up.
What it does
It enables the user to truly make their home on the internet. The fundamental concept that brings the most value to this is the trust network. Its formed by the connections you make with others in the network and the more trust you build up with others the more access you have to what they collect, work on and show. This applies in reduced form to others they're connected to. The more you explore the things you love the more of them you find.
How it would look and work
The interface is set up similar to that of a 2D game. But it would be set up using blocks. You can drop a link into the arena and it forms a block. these can be organised in your base area and forms your home on the internet where you can dynamically explore the information you've stored. There will be nested layers so you can store information you find like you would in a self organising library. Any block can link to another one so you can also store the personal connections you've made almost like a CRM tool. In this way it draws people into the network by the fact that there may already be information about them within it before they arrive.
The arena is a sandbox so others can form into groups based on their location in the space. They can customise it with photos, gifs, videos, art, information ect. All through embedded links. You can host parties and festivals with others in a way thats far more natural than most online experiences. With video enabled as you approach someone they're feed becomes revealed to you. You can customise how your presented and combine gifs and other dynamic media to fully customise your representation.
Why would people join
One major element of this is forming projects together without upfront resources. By the fact that you can present all of the work you've done in the past with other inspiration and connections this allows others to get a full sense of who you are. Rather than a CV or bio they can explore the aspects of what moves you and are incentivised to build further trust so they can be given further access to learn more. By building up experiences that you have with other users it creates a reputation for you within the network. Giving your talents, advice, sharing information, helping others. These all build your reputation to allow for further customisation and access to the arena. This social capital is combined with a range of options to help incentivise collaborative flexible work. Equity, reputation and tokens can be exchanged based on the level of control your willing to give up to accomplish your ambitions. Combined these are fluid and allow far more open source work where everyone involved has the right amount of skin in the game.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
This is mostly conceptual though i've been working on this for the past 3 years. I'm most proud of the extensive understanding I've put into this and its fundamental design. I have researched the capability of every tech solution that would be added into this. I am working with a partner who where we've built a real community through physical festivals so she and everyone else is looking for new ways to enable online community.
How it is can change things
I've been exploring the advancements of blockchain technology in a relational way and looking at how these can be applied directly in stacks to create a new model of economic activity thats better suited to how we behave socially. Specifically digital identity, data ownership and verifiable reputation.
This is also far better suited for the current world we are entering where our current economic system is in collapse. I believe this has the potential to showcase a better one.
What's next for 1World
The first step for this should be to show the visual basics of how this platform would allow you to interact with others. It would be utilising video feed APIs and embedding content in its most basic form to allow a playground for users to interact in. If it is enjoyable to use and customise then it will have proven its most basic intent.

COVID Wave Command Center establishes a platform for governments & citizens to fight COVID19 together, privacy-preserved
Inspiration
Weighing the challenge between public and economic health is the driving reason that organizations, States and Federal teams need to establish a data driven approach to managing what will be an 18 month challenge.
What it does
Establishing a COVID Wave Command Center is at the heart of reacting, responding and managing policy until the point where medical science has delivered either a cure or a vaccine. Leveraging the attention and focus within the first wave to ensure a broad role out of citizen centric elements and a clear link between data, policy and execution. Areas that do this successfully will help to mitigate the risk of a second bloom occurring within Wave 1 and will better manage the economic and societal impact of future waves. By becoming data driven in policy and execution there can be a transition away from blanket orders and lockdown to adaptive Smart Quarantine solutions which successfully manage the risk to citizens and more accurately target restrictive measures to where they are needed.
How I built it
We need to innovate with the solution for the government and the citizens, but we don't have time to build it from ground up. We used existing cloud based platform with SOC2 certification, GDPR compliant to build use cases for the government to manage the release of the lockdown and estimate economic & healthcare consequences.
Challenges I ran into
Data privacy concerns; Data sources
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Basic version of this solution took 2nd prize in @hackthecrisis in the Netherlands, now we want to build more
We are able to build a platform for collaboration between the government and the citizens: trusted, privacy-preserved, GDPR & HIPAA complaint
## What I learned
From our pre-sales calls, we saw that people from the government were more than willing to accept help and support from us and our solution. They are amazingly fast with decision making right now, especially healthcare experts that deal with the pandemic in the states. They just need our help with the data tools & processes, and get confidence in privacy of the data in use.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/incognito-friendship | Your new friend is calling!
A recent Cigna survey revealed that nearly half of Americans always or sometimes feel alone (46%) or left out (47%). Fully 54% said they always or sometimes feel that no one knows them well. Nearly half of Britons over 65 consider the television or a pet their main source of company. We can change it and make people happier!
Problem: LONELINESS – In isolation, more than ever, this is a problem. The least human contact we need is someones voice. We need to talk to someone, but this might be impossible even if you have a family. You might not want to share your worries, they might not understand or you just don’t have no one u can trust.
Target: PRIVATE and CORPORATE loneliness. People living alone can only meet someone going to the food shop. They might not have no one to share their growing stress. Lonely elderly people need human contact even more. Also, corporate loneliness has grown with the trend of remote work and will now reach new heights.
Solution: INCOGNITO FRIENDSHIP platform to find someone with matching worldview to call and talk to. Incognito because it is safe – you will not know the identity nor the phone number of your new friend unless you both decide to reveal it. Fact is that it is much easier to share your loneliness and thoughts with a stranger then someone you know.
Benefit: A feeling of ,, I AM NOT ALONE!,,. Users from all over the world can find a fellow human with similar
hobbies, work and views to life and likewise feeling as lonely as they do. Users will know who’s in the same mood and also wanting to talk even if it’s in the middle of the night! You both might be from the same city, but your new friend might as well be living in the forests of Siberia. It doesn’t matter since loneliness has no homeland, no race and you can not get away with money either!
The platform would have a simple search engine: location, languages, hobbies, work field, age, and what topics you are interested in. Maybe in style of Tinder – but mature and info focused. Users can search whom they would feel comfortable talking to, look for a mentor, discuss profession specific topics, exchange how their day went and how they feel. You can keep your ,,im here, call me!,, status when you feel like or be active 24/7. You can now expect calls and call someone knowing that person will be happy to listen to you. Not a text but a real human to talk to.
If you want to earn money from calls for example as a life coach or reading bedtime stories, business consulting etc. you can do that by setting your price per minute. What you earn will be shared 50/50 with the platform. Besides that, there will be a very affordable monthly fee for everyone after a free trial period.
The basic has to be simple and intuitive so elderly people could easily use it as well. But in the future there would also be more possibilities. Like meeting up in an virtual place and experience hanging out together - visiting virtual museums, libraries, a virtual beach or a gym or a bar etc. What ever we can figure out and find a cool thing to offer people!

Tinder is great for finding friends and partners, but volunteering doesn't have a tool like that. Volunteering requires in many cases a "middle man" organisation that connects those in need with those who are willing/able to help.
Our idea is simple - bring back the village mentality where people help their neighbours and get helped back. Nowadays we don't even know the name of our neighbours not to mention helping them.
What it does
We wanted to create a hyper local (radius of 1km-3km) Tinder like app that can connect people needing help quickly with people who are willing to help. You can also switch your role from somebody needing help to somebody wanting help in an instant, because our needs change depending on the situation.
Our application allows people to sing-up using Facebook instantly and ask for help or offer help to those in need. You also decide when your profile is visible and for how long (as with Tinder) so you're in control.
You're also not visible to people beyond radius of 3km so only people near by can see you.
Only basic information about you is visible to others and they have to ask to see your contact details. We also have a chat so you start talking about practicalities without need of sharing your contact details (if you don't want to).
How I built it
It's progressive web app (PWA) that works similar to native app, but doesn't require traditional installation. This means it works in any Android or iOS device and doesn't require space, can't steal your information and has no negative impact on your battery.
On front-end there is a VueJS based front-end and on backend there is Java + MongoDB combo.
Challenges I ran into
Location tracking is not working as well in PWA once application is not active. Sending notifications via PWA is very hard and close to impossible. PWA applications are almost first class citizens in Android, while being 3rd class citizens on iOS.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
It's highly scalable and functioning tool that I hope will help many people if we get a little bit of funding.
What I learned
PWA applications are far from native apps, but it's getting closer every day. People are tired of installing countless mobile apps and worrying about battery, privacy and constant updates.
What's next for Everneed
If we get a little bit of support, we'll be able to publish our tool and grow it to help as many communities as possible.
In many countries people lack access to computers, but smartphones are available at very affordable prices. We want to empower those who want to help so they can help as many people near by as possible.

Inspiration
The whole world, is fighting against the spread of COVID-19 virus on a daily basis and governments (Healthcare authorities) are taking major steps to reduce the efficiency of the virus, and to potentially stop the virus from spreading.
Countries like India has implemented self lock-down in early stage which resulted in minimizing community spread of virus. Additionally, local Government Healthcare authorities rapidly acted and found infected individual who has traveled recently to avoid further spread by treating them.
However, local Healthcare authorities doesn't have enough Test kit for testing due to which they facing challenges like:
"How to prioritize testing of COVID-19 for individuals, specially for most vulnerable people like (elderly, persons with chronic diseases, the poorest and women's )
What it does
This web app (platform) which empower local healthcare authorities to well connect with most vulnerable people and track individual health in real time.
People (like: elderly, persons with chronic diseases, the poorest and women's) can leverage this platform and who wish to share individual (or) Family health details voluntarily with local Government Healthcare authorities.
This Web app is designed to collect basic set of health information and symptoms on daily bases from individual and pass it to Azure Machine learning which work on collected data and predict health of individual and project it on web app by using Power-BI graphs which can viewed by health authorities and take necessary action.
with the help of web based health tracker, local healthcare authority can save lot of time and track people health process in real time.
How I built it
I used Microsoft PowerApps to built a web site and integrated with Azure database where individuals data stored securely and Azure Stream Analytics collect health info of individual from database and generate analytics in real time by using machine learning capabilities.
Predicated graph will be displayed in web application which can be reviewed by local health authority.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
This would be a good platform which would empower local healthcare authorities to well connect with most vulnerable people and track individual health in real time.
What I learned
I learned Azure steam , PowerApp and Power BI

)
is an example of a new trend in digital, home-based clinical trials.
There's a plethora of consumer-focused wellness/health apps that are condition specific: diabetes, yoga, gym etc. You can end up with dozens of different apps and even though they can all read/write to common OS-level health data stores like HealthKit, you lose its privacy features as they updload data to their own cloud and they are not comprehensive enough to give you personalized insights.
What it does
The app starts with a personal coach that helps you achieve longevity and healthspan goals. It's centered around personalization for nutrition, supplements, activity, healthcare/wearables data. It curates those paths thanks to specific research and provides citation info so users can read up summaries from relevant papers if they want to deep dive.
The UX is gamified to provide as much flow as possible and increase usage.
The B2B side of the app lets users enroll in clinical trials that can ask specific access to their data and follow some tasks in return for discounts and other benefits.

The way COVID 19 was spreading and we had no way but to watch helplessly inspired me to apply my knowledge to intervene. We observed in daily life and as per published reports, there are chances to get infected by Coronavirus due to the handling of daily essentials. Further, there is a lack of technology to disinfect high-risk areas efficiently without harming humans. So, this journey began.

It kills viruses on surfaces of grocery etc. with 254nm UV C light and it is able to kill airborne and settled viruses with Far UV C 222 nm light in open spaces habituated by humans without harming humans.
How we built it
With the help of two 11W UV C tubes (254 nm), aluminum foil, Cardboard box, grating to prepare platform, adaptor, and wires with plugs UV C Disinfection box had been built. Further during the hackathon, we are going to develop prototypes for killing Coronaviruses with help of the 222nm UVC light which is not harmful to humans for the disinfection of high-risk areas having airborne, settled and stuck viruses at hospitals and public places.
Challenges we ran into
To get 222 nm UVC light excimer lamp during lockdown
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The identification of risk due to touching contaminated daily essential supplies and the possibility to very efficiently fight with the Corona pandemic by Far UV C range of 207-222 nm in the form of various stationery and mobile equipment.
What we learned
The experiments conducted to study the effect of Far UV C on humans and the doses required to kill various microorganisms by UV C light.
What's next for UV C Disinfection of settled or airborne Coronavirus
Mass application at residences, hospitals, and institutional buildings to end the pandemic as soon as possible.

The lockdown is necessary to avoid spread of infection. But not all organisations can work from home or remotely. With a huge population size it is going to be very difficult to open the gates suddenly. On one hand we do not have enough capacity to tackle widespread infection and on other side economic lock down resulting in huge impact to millions. We need a solution to get back quickly. We need to have mechanism to get back to work location in controlled manner with an eye on arresting the spread.
Green Zones (GZ) would provide pathway to get us back on track from lockdown. The way world is defining "Red Zones" to mark the COVID19 affected population or communities, we would create Green Zones where in people will move back with confidence based on empirical assessment of individual and ensuring continuous feedback loop to control infection in green zone. This would be a software platform combined with medical devices. Organisations can select their minimum employees required to run the operations. Platform would screen and identify infection free members and track them. We would keep the records updated and notifications for any changes and missing status.

Inspiration
As soon as COVID-19 has captivated the whole world, the way we live was rapidly changed. People started using all of the available resources and means of communication to fill the void and to avoid that lack of social interaction and communication that was normal before the virus. Clearly, everybody started using ZOOM, and moreover they wanted to make parties (ZOOM parties).
ZOOM parties
were the ones that inspired us into the development of this idea.
What it does
Our team decided to develop a
gamified video chat
.
It basically enables people to play games together while talking and seeing each other. This is an app that can be easily downloaded and as easily played. The app will have several games to choose from so that everyone can find what he/she likes. Moreover, it is a peer-to-peer video chat, which is more secure and does not require powerful servers to run.
How we built it
By the end of the hackathon, our team is planning to finish an MVP- which is an online drinking game. Since people still want to have parties, but the can't do this, it is a perfect idea to actually give them this opportunity. And it'll be a lot of fun! This MVP will again have several games to choose with but trust us, that will be awesome!
Our team knows how to build and design games, so that is the way we want to accomplish our idea.
Challenges we ran into
Houseparty, Spatial.chat, and some others are not focused on entertainment experience while having a call. Also, as for our MVP - there are quite a lot of drinking apps, however, there were not any drinking games designed for playing them _ virtually _, which means they are all designed for home parties with friends. However, with our app, friends do not have to be close to each other, they just need to be online, and that's all! All the tasks within a game are specifically designed for people
that for some reason cannot get together
, but they can connect via phones.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
You can find it using our link provided below.
What we learned
We understand that a gamified video chat, as well as an online drinking game, will be also popular after quarantine since we live in a very fast-moving world with everybody not having time for all they want. We also understand that people want interaction, and this is the way not to let them go crazy.
What's next for 4ro.om - Gamified Video Chat
When we build our MVP, we're planning to develop a gamified video chat, as was said above. After these steps, we're planning to constantly improve it, look at what people are more into, which games they prefer, maybe add some more or improve the previous, already built-in games.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/rise-0wfky3 | SoSpesa, our idea to encourage solidarity and facilitate sharing in times of needs.
SoSpesa: make a difference in times of need.
«When someone is happy for some reason, instead of paying for one cup of coffee, the one they would drink, they pay for two: one for them, and one for the next customer. It's like offering a cup of coffee to the rest of the world...»
- Luciano De Crescenzo, "Il caffè sospeso"
In times of need, a small deed of kindness can truly make the difference. The beautiful Italian tradition of the
caffè sospeso
(pending coffee) is what inspired us in creating SoSpesa: our user powered platform to manage grocery shopping, facilitate sharing, and encourage solidarity in these times of crisis.
SoSpesa is made of people and by people. In an historical moment in which we are fighting a war through each of our actions, and staying inside is an act of courage, SoSpesa allows to virtually cross the walls imposed by social distancing and to sustain and support the communities we relish.
SoSpesa tackles three main areas of action:
Storing and sharing information
: avoiding overcrowding spaces and unnecessary movements is hard, but essential. SoSpesa helps with that in two ways: by saving and displaying your information (grocery list and storage), to help you keep everything in mind and spare that extra trip to the supermarket to get the flour or the eggs you forgot. SoSpesa also allows you to easily signal whether first-necessity products such are these are available where you are shopping, to make your and everybody's trips targeted, fruitful, and safe.
Sharing links
: for vulnerable individuals, like elderly people, children, or people with underlying health conditions, just going out is a risk. Shielding them from danger might mean something as simple as getting their groceries for them. Can you? With SoSpesa, you can look at people around you in need of help. Just get their groceries or their medicines for them and leave them on their doorstep. Take care of yourself, and take care of each other.
Sharing resources
: like in the tradition of the "caffè sospeso", or of the "paniere sospeso", a hanging bucket where «who has, can leave, who doesn't, can take». The Covid-19 crisis has only made it more difficult for millions of people across the world to provide to their most basic needs, and to make ends meet. This is not a shame, but a hardship that we believe can be relieved through mutual support. If you need, select a shopping point near you, and anonymously ask for the products you wish. Receive an individual QR code, and get them. If you can, "sospendi": look at what is needed, and pay for that packet of biscuits, bag of milk, sack of potatoes. Be kind, share.
SoSpesa is our idea to ignite positive change and to foster the links that make us human.
The Covid-19 crisis is a challenge that is proving harder every day. Social distancing has resulted in the interruption of countless productive activities, with millions of jobs lost and millions of other at risk. Countless families face an uncertainty that seems hopeless. And yet, day by day, people all across the world prove it is not: it is their acts solidarity, their ways of sharing, the support they are providing, and the links that are creating that are sparking a light in these dark times. It's individuals, like you and me, that are making a difference.
But we dream big: SoSpesa is adaptable, scalable, and ideally developable so as to function as a sustainable platform for individuals as well as for for business, philanthropic organisations, and civil society to receive and provide support in any situation, and to lift people up on a long scale.
Because we are far apart, but we are not alone.

We've witnessed firsthand how the current COVID19 situation has resulted in the implementation of #stayhome policies. This has raised concern about the mental health of people since socialising has been limited to virtual ones. It would be important to keep track of how one is feeling and allow other people to know what is going on so that there is a community involved.
Our Idea
We want to start a positive movement where we can understand how people are feeling each day, and send in help when required.
Users will be asked how they are feeling daily.
What do users get: social affirmation, ~positive vibes~, promote positive mental health
What can users do:
Post motivational messages to a public message board (images / text)
Track their daily emotions (display the information as a chart for them to keep track)
Like each other’s messages (limited number of likes)

We wanted to challenge ourselves to live more sustainably and measure our individual impact. We failed in several different ways but we are still in love with the problem. How could we decide how our everyday individual decisions impact the planet?
It became very clear that it's extremely difficult to measure the real impact of our behaviour and make conscious decisions based on facts and data.

No one know when COVID-19 pandemic will be over, healthcare providers would have to stay in touch with their patients to manage their appointments for rescheduling, cancellation, offer remote consultation where possible as well as offering to access to sustainable medication supply for patient with chronic diseases. If the primary care collapse in community, this will further burden the secondary care and creating more demands in hospital admissions.
The challenges faced by patient: very difficult to contact healthcare provider for change of follow-up appointments, raise concern when medication supply is critically low, seek notification should an appointment is rearranged by the provider. Patient is hard to raise their requests, concerns and stay in the loop with the adequate level of attention they need.
The challenges faced by healthcare providers: Email inbox and hotlines are overwhelmed and the operators are unable to keep up with demand. Operator's time wasted on transcribing incoming request from email or phone calls to their EHR system. The lack of systematic triage approach is further burdening the primary care. Instead of prioritising incoming requests based on objective parameters, it becomes a first come first served basis.
What it does
Our solution for patient and healthcare provider: Patient can log into VOIS or call the hotline with Voice to Text technology to submit their request and to download the App to be kept in the loop for any feedbacks and updates. Once an eligible patient is in the triage page (VOIS App) or call (VOIS voice to text call), he will be asked with a set of questions. The patient say out his intentions such as 'change appointment', 'I missed an appointment', 'I run out of medicines' etc, his medications supply will also be assessed. His original appointment date will be reviewed accordingly such as if it is on the watchlist which he will get notified if changes occur, or advise to have an appointment for the next available slot in which the patient could give a range of dates for the operator to assess. Patient's demographic, diseases type would also be reviewed by the system.
The operator can view the requests on his dashboard and view incoming requests in and order as set by the parameters he configured locally, such as age, disease type, risk factor, run out of medication supply etc. The operator reply the patient by pre-defined "action types" back to patient, such as "cancellation accepted", "rescheduling request accepted and the next appointment is confirmed", "video or voice consultation is available on the day, would you like to accept" etc.
Advantage over conventional method: Patients requests are taking in 24/7 instead of office hour. Its prioritisations are based on objective parameters instead of first-come-first-serve calls. The App keep everyone in the loop should either patient or healthcare providers made changes to the appointments, hence a reduction in waste of Doctor's resources.
How I built it
We aim to resolve these issues with the use of Voice AI technology. Voice AI can help doctors dictate their SOAP notes, general consultations, discharge summaries etc. much more efficiently, in a fraction of the time it would take to type instead. Imagine asking Siri to bill a particular patient or book an appointment for them.
Medical transcriptionists are often responsible for typing out doctor’s notes in EMRs, but they miss things too. Voice AIs can catch up with the pace of a doctor’s dictation, and are a cheaper alternative for family clinics that cannot afford a medical transcriptionist, especially if they are moving from a paper patient record to an EMR.
EMRs may have resolved medication errors due to doctor’s handwriting, but Voice AI has the potential to resolve medication errors due to mistyping if trained with complicated medical terms and drug names. Using Voice AI reduces physical contact between healthcare workers and computer stations, reducing the risk of nosocomial infections by contact-transmitted and surface-persistent diseases like MRSA and COVID-19.

Creating a community of various projects and services - ecosystem where projects grow and develop easier.
What it does
Location-based software platform acting as a
hub for various services
helping people in certain areas to
get better visibility, communicate and collaborate
more efficiently.
It’s basically an
open map
-like system allowing people and local (or global) businesses to participate in it using some of the services it provides. Part of them are built-in and developed by us, others -
by partner projects and developers
thus making the platform extendable and adaptive to various environments and conditions.
One of the biggest problems with crisis projects and initiatives is actually
segmentation
and lack of critical mass of user to get it going, too big Time to Market.
That's why we shifted our focus to helping other projects develop by providing the base to build upon.
It's not just the crisis project - such ecosystem is needed for more effective society that would be ready and more responsive for any current or future situation.
The information in the platform is anchored to a certain physical
locations
or
areas
(location + radius). It can also be seen as
layers tagged with category/topic
.
The users are able to
upvote the information
they like or find important. This and filtering the relevant content helps to
reduce the informational noise
to a much more bearable level.

Local community volunteers
Online ordering and delivery
Social games and storytelling

Create a helper profile by adding skills
Ask questions and get users to walk you through a task
Earn virtual coins for helping people
Is a community-led fun way to share basic skills and knowledge through chat audio/video calls. When you need help or to learn a basic skill i.e. Cooking, Gardening hacks or the sorts. The app connects you with helpers who already have that experience or the skill.
Inspiration
With the current situation worldwide, being self-dependent at home has become more important than ever to know basic life skills such as cooking, electrical work to a bit more complex skills like a plumbing issue, tuition or help with your pet. Even though there's loads of guides and videos on these skills online, we found that due to a lack of interactivity, it becomes more impactful when someone guides you through real-time collaboration.
So, our solution; #WalkMeThroughIt - where users can share skills to help one another.
What it does
The app allows you to create a profile of basic life skills you know, from which you can then use to help/teach other users on the platform the skills you possess or seek assistance from other users to learn basic skills.
For example, if you don't know how to change a plug or a lightbulb, you can put in a request through the app as an electrical fix, and someone on the platform who has experience on electrical fixes can connect and walk you through the process via a chat audio/video call.
Users earn in-app coins for rating helpers and helpers get in-app coins for helping users. Which can then be redeemed for gifts on the in-app gift store.
We believe this is a fun way to pick up new skills around the house and get better at the skills you have by teaching others.

We saw multiple digital businesses offering coupons during the current lockdown, to be used after the situation stabilized. We saw that this was a great way of keeping businesses afloat.
The same luxury couldn't be afforded to undigitized local businesses - micro, small, & medium enterprises. It could be argued that these businesses and business owners needed it more.
We then began work on a platform to digitize these MSMEs and get them the help they need - liquid capital in these trying times.
What is it?
DaanCorona, an online platform for buying coupons for India's largely undigitized small & medium businesses market. Customers buy a gift card now and use it later when the situation improves.
How does it work?
Our platform is currently a webapp and an Android application. Business owners get verified and register their accounts on the platform. Customers can see their favourite local businesses - grocers, theatres, laundromats, cafes, plumbers, clothing boutiques, salons, and many others. Customers contribute a sum of money and get a voucher/coupon in return, with the promise of being assured a value greater/equal to it, once the business is operational again.
We wish to target smaller MSMEs, who don't have any/ don't have a strong digital presence and do not offer a voucher program as of yet. However, other businesses shall have access to it as well.

We saw our elderly and differently-abled neighbors fearing and struggling to go out to buy essential medicines and groceries. We had to help them out. We thought about similar people who would struggle to meet their needs when many e-commerce shops slowed down their service due to massive backlogging. So to help the them, we thought of developing a website. Our mentors Dr.Ranjani Parthasarathi mam and Dr.Bama S mam were in favor of our idea, and supported us by all means in implementing this idea.
What it does
The website has a hassle free registration for public/elders, then based on their location, nearby shops/pharmacies will be displayed from which user can select the shop and add items to their cart (upload google assistant/Alexa list) and proceed to place order, and make payment via a variety of payment options and choose desirable time of delivery. Order details will be sent to the shopkeeper (who can accept or reschedule the order), then on acceptance of order by shopkeeper, the volunteer will be notified about location of shop and customer. The volunteer then picks up the readymade packet and delivers it to the customer.
How we built it
We are building it using:-
The front end of the web application will be developed using HTML5,CSS,Javascript and Bootstrap.We will use node js to develop the backend of the mobile application as it is asynchronous and event driven and we plan use SQL for database.We aim to use geolocation API to capture user’s location,to track delivery personnel’s location as they move, to show nearby locations and geocoder api to convert text address to map points,geofencing API to prevent volunteers from misusing this opportunity to visit places other than places where delivery is required.We use twilio to provide message notification.We will use google analytics to analyse traffic and apache flink to provide real time analytics.We plan to use various payment methodologies.
We also aim at facilitating speech to text input using google cloud's speech to text API to provide ease of use for the senior citizens.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/sharingjourneys | 1.The problem that SharingJourneys solves
A few weeks after the lockdown has been ruled in several european countries, population in those countries start feeling the impact across different areas of their lives.
One of them is the change of travel plans due to the restrictions.
This has a strong impact among the economies based in services like tourism. According to Global international tourist arrivals could decline 20-30 % in 2020 UNWTO, 2020. The coronavirus outbreak has paralysed the tourism industry,(...) devastating economies that are largely dependent on tourism. The situation is particularly difficult in several EU countries that are key tourist destinations, such as Italy, Spain and France. Within the hospitality sector, which is also facing a severe crisis, small and medium-sized enterprises have been particularly badly hit.
So, we have two problems: people who are unable to travel and people who are unable to earn money due to the decrease of turism.
2.The solution SharingJourneys brings to the table
Sharing Journeys provide a solution to the "New and resilient business models challenge", for the tourism sector.
We offer people from different countries who cannot travel today, the possibility to connect to live, exciting experiences hosted by a local guide at tourist spots. And this is just one part of the story. Sharing Journeys offers a new business model for service sectors heavily affected by the lockdown and expected slow recovery in passenger transportation (air, train, etc.). Our solution aims to create value from the main assets at touristic places: knowledge of local guides, outgoing and friendly approach towards visitors, and natural, historical, artistic and cultural wealth of the places.
How do we enable this connection?
We provide a platform with two actors (guest and host) and one connecting element (journey).
Because crisis is fought with humanity, social support, personal relationships and fun.
The locals (tourist guide, chef, musician, artist, etc.), called "Host" in the system, upload curated "Journeys", which are prepared 30min tours or experiences that are shared with the "Guests" through the browser in a private video session where the Guest will interact in real time being able to ask, explore at his/her will and enjoy the guided tour from the Host. Sharing Journeys intends to create and nurture relationships, as based on the outcome of the Journey, the Guest will surely visit in person the place and will look for the Host to enjoy once again, have a coffee or a beer. Tours to be offered through the platform via video at an agreed time with the Guest.
Booking a Journey
Guests can browse available Journeys, select date and time in calendar, and the system
notifies the Host about the booking. Once confirmed by Host, the system sends a notification
to both Guest and Host about the agreed Journey.
Sharing the Journey
Two hours before the Journey, the system
sends a reminder through the mobile and email to both participants with the details of
the Journey (web address and password to login). Once both Guest and Host have logged in,
the Journey starts and for 30min the Guest will enjoy a personal, customized and entertaining
tour hosted by an authentic local person! This is a second to none experience, more real and
exciting that browsing existing videos in the internet while giving the chance to enjoy
the tour the way Guest likes the most.
Rating the Journey
Once the video session is finished, the Guest
receives a message from the platform to rate the Journey as well as the Host, and to pay
a small amount that depends on the outcome of the experience.
Pay back for an amazing Journey
As the main purpose of SharingJourneys is to enable alternative income for people at
touristic places, it provides Guests the possibility to pay back a small amount of money
for the Journey enjoyed. Based on a survey ran across more than 200 participants during the weekend
the team explored the potential for this solution.
Based on the feedback from survey participants when asked about willingness to pay for the service:
40% would pay no more than 5EUR
35% would pay between 5EUR and 10EUR
15% would pay something between 10EUR and 15EUR
Based on that, we set a preliminary pricing for a pilot test, as follows:
didn't like it? pay nothing
just average? whatever you want between 3EUR and 5EUR
eyebrowing experience? somewhere between 5EUR and 10EUR
entertaining host and amazing journey? 15EUR, 20EUR, you decide!
Although we explored different alternatives for payments we decided to use mobile payments
for the service because of the ubiquity and possibility to quickly transfer money from
Guest to Host. Across Europe different mobile payment systems are already established
(Swish at Sweden, Bizum at Spain, Lydia at France, Jiffy at Italy). The Guest will
only need to authorize the transfer from his/her mobile once tour is over to the QR-code
or mobile number of the Host.
How will we approach the market?
We already started contacting local tourist guides through associations and private contacts
at Spain and Greece. After the hackathon we have a plan to reach directly through the
Host survey and indirectly through tourism office at local governments, aiming to reach
500 local guides per week at each country, adding to referrals we would expect to cover
30% to 50% of tour operators and local guides after three months.
3.What you have done during the weekend
This idea started from Scratch during a previous hackathon (The Global Hack), two weeks ago.
However, no big progress was achieved and the goal for EUvsVirus Hackathon has been to
define, validate a test a sustainable solution. The team considers this was achieved.
Track 1: Validation: Upon hackathon start, team designed and released a survey in two languages (english+spanish). By the end of the hackathon, 224 answers were registered (avg completion rate 65%). Insights from survey responses have allowed us to define characteristics of the solution.
Track 2: Technical prototype modules. A basic set of stories for the MVP were built on a
demo basis, plus file uploads to web server and started firebase config for
HTTPS as started receiving errors on access to files over HTTP. Setting up Firebase to host the service
Track 3 - Video sessions. Configuration of demo platform to host the video sessions using
Twilio Video API.
Track 4 - Discussions with potential Hosts/Guests and mentors to validate features.
Track 5 - Visuals. Logo design.
4.The solution’s impact to the crisis
Statistics of UNWTO (2020) are clear: until coronavirus crisis is neutralized, tourism
will be critically hit. While SharingJourneys cannot offer solution to the hospitality
subsector neither to transportation sector, it helps some actors in the tourism value chain
who are reportedly lacking of income for reasons explained above.
A survey ran by the team at SharedJourneys across tourist guides indicates they are
currently earning less than 20% of their usual monthly income. In some cases, they directly
reported zero income during this period. 75% of the surveyed guides were willing to recommend
this service.
We consider a scenario where local guides can start earning money immediately, once they
upload the Journeys and Guests start booking Journeys for spring-summer. And we foresee
related income scenarios, as follows:
The immediate impact in local economies as tour guides start earning some money will
trickle down to a bigger portion of their communities (suppliers, entrances, etc.)
For some journeys we plan to associate add-on services that can be offered by local
guides at their end. Take for example, a food lover who books a gastronomic Journey
to learn a fantastic recipe of the Greek lamb directly from the local chef at a Greek town.
The guest might receive upfront a box with local ingredients and two bottles of wine ordered
through the local guide who ships it to the guest's postal address some days before.
Another group of Hosts that will highly benefit from Sharing Journeys is local artists. A musician,
a theater group or dancer can post their performances as Journeys, where groups of Guests
can sign up to enjoy the Journeys for a small amount, as private concerts or performances
through their Smart TVs, PC browsers, tablets or mobile phones.
We the Sharing Journeys team continue to work on product design based on inquiries to
affected population and as said before, the main assets they offer to create value for themselves.
5.The necessities in order to continue the project
The team at SharingJourneys has strong experience in the fields of IT/Telecoms, Finance and
Tourism. We are interested in having onboard the following skills to continue the project:
1 x Fullstack Developer (node.js, react native, mongodb, firebase)
1 x UX/UI Designer
1 x fintech consultant to validate mobile payments schema (with experience in european market)
1 x legal advisor to ensure legal requirements at each country are met.
In addition, we plan to develop Sharing Journeys app for the Hosts. As most of the local guides
use Android-based phones we would add another resource to the team:
1 x Android developer
Another necessity is financial. Budget to cover costs associated to hosting the service and
paying to the payment platforms and messaging providers will have an structure tied to the amount of Journeys completed and
therefore will be calculated once final setup for pilot testing is done.
6.The value of your solution(s) after the crisis
SharingJourneys is a long-term solution. While is evident right now the solution is tremendously
appealing for local economies during the crisis, it will open a new avenue for income
generation among those communities who live out of tourism.
Once crisis is overcome, SharingJourneys will develop richer products that can be available
to Guests all over the world so that Hosts can increase reputation, create further Journeys and
promote further their destinations.
We have analyzed two scenarios where SharingJourneys will be essential after the crisis:
Medium-term: Despite expecting things returning to normal in some weeks/months (flights
resumed, borders reopened, hotels receiving guests), it is clear that one part of the
population won't be able or willing to travel for quite some time. Consider retired individuals
or population over 65 years old. According to UNWTO statistics(2020), one in four people travelling
for tourism across Europe belongs to this age group, which is the high-risk group for
coronavirus contagion. Therefore, this age population might have trip possibilities cancelled
for the rest of the year, perhaps longer. They would be really willing to use SharingJourneys
platform as a great strategy to mitigate frustration and keep mental health by
establishing social contact through the experiences of the Journeys.
On the other hand, after conversations with people from the sector, it is observed that
it is expected that travel rules and tour restrictions will change to adjust to a new
context for healthcare reasons. Therefore, individual cost of physical trips might increase
making it more difficult to afford, with implications like shortening trips that will be
reflected in reduced touring activities per individual. SharingJourneys will allow a
supplementary alternative to enrich tour packages (travel agencies or tour operators might
be able to include SharingJourneys to their offers, for instance, three Journeys for
each physical package purchased, valid for the season).
Long-term:
A Guest who normally make one four-weeks trip per year
during summer can enjoy, during several months, different Journeys for a minimum amount,
having the possibility to know many places, exchange and interact with a number of locals
and even using the Journeys as "appetizers" to explore in reality potential destinations.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/pave | Our company and inspiration
Screenshots from capacity/usage prototype visualisation of Bristol Services
Where did PAVE come from?
PAVE was created at the 2020 Bristol Wellbeing Data Hackathon attended by over 30 designers, programmers, data scientists and enthusiasts. Inspiration for the idea came from direct experience working within the NHS and a previous research project on homelessness services. Services across the health and social care sector work are almost completely siloed. Yet for patients and service users, their health cannot be compartmentalised. The inspiration to help create a more seamless pathway and holistic healthcare system bought the PAVE team together, and for two days, the team researched and prototyped systems to visualise the referrals and pathways between Bristol services.
With recent circumstances and as a direct result of Covid-19, our work with PAVE has pivoted to aid the global response. Like many people we are adapting to the current needs of society to do our bit to
fight the coronavirus and save lives
.
Since this pivot, we have developed new iterations of the data visualisation app capable of mapping capacity against utilisation of secondary care services allocated to the treatment of Covid-19 patients. Healthcare services around the world are under unprecedented pressure to meet the needs of patients. The incidence of Covid-19 cases demonstrates an exponential trend which medics around the world are struggling to cope with. Our hope is that PAVE will help policymakers, commissioners and medics around the world effectively manage service capacity so that every patient that presents with Covid-19 can access the care and treatment they need when they need it.
Check out our current company website
here
.
What does PAVE do?
PAVE is a web-supported app that visualises the capacity and usage of secondary care services treating Covid-19 patients. Capacity and usage are represented by overlapping circles positioned at the location of the service on an interactive map. Users can hover over these circles to indicate the numerical value that they represent. Currently, the code uses the most up-to-date, publicly available data, combined with guesstimate data, to provide a prototype visualisation of the capacity and usage of services local to Bristol, UK.
How did we build PAVE?
We have built PAVE using the d3.js and leaflet.js libraries for javascript. It is designed as an interactive web application. Currently, all data processing is completed client-side to allow experts from the healthcare industry to use their own data sets without any data privacy concerns.
What challenges did we face?
One of the biggest challenges we faced was accessing appropriate data - both for our initial idea and pivoted solution to aid the Covid-19 response. Some capacity and general usage data from previous years is available publicly. However, in order to fulfil our aim, we would need access to real-time reports or at a minimum, disaggregated daily updates.
What accomplishments are we proud of?
First of all, we're proud of being the
winners of the 2020 Bristol Wellbeing Data Hackathon
! The initial idea to visualise the referral routes and pathways between health and social care services was commended for its ambition and alignment with current needs. Despite the challenges we faced in collecting suitable data, we were able to create a prototype iteration of our code and accompanying graphics that inspired experts in the field to buy-in to our idea.
Secondly but more importantly, we're proud of taking the decision to pivot our idea to help fight the coronavirus. While we haven't forgotten our long-term goal for PAVE and still maintain the importance of creating a more holistic healthcare system, we believe in the value of combined effort and we're proud to be part of the global response.
What have we learned?
Our main points of learning have been thanks to some of the great mentors that we had the opportunity to chat to during and after the 2020 Bristol Wellbeing Data Hackathon. We had the chance to talk to experts in data science, data visualisation and healthcare management. Based on the feedback we received, we included different types of data in our visualisation, increased the interactive capacity of the app and designed the system so that it could be implemented across a range of settings and data entered manually by different teams.
Since starting PAVE, we've also made some key technical discoveries that have been critical to continued development. Working within practical design constraints such as data privacy has been a challenge and so great experience for our team. We have created a data flow for PAVE which will keep user data on their own machine and allow future releases to include simple integration into existing applications.
What's next for PAVE?
Over the course of this hackathon, we intend to develop an iteration of the visualisation app capable of timeline interaction. Users should be able to use a slider to show how the capacity and usage of services presented on the map have changed over time. Following iterations will include the application of historic data to make future predictions about the probable demand for services, so managers can plan accordingly.

As EU Member States start to exit the crisis and limitations start to ease, people will once again start to travel. However, we have seen that responses to the crisis have been rather national than coordinated at a European level. Moreover, it is evident that different Member States will exit the crisis at a different pace (for instance with Austria and Denmark already discussing easing restrictions). This means that people are faced with different rules and restrictions in different European countries. Our aim is to provide a platform that would provide people with easily accessible data (collected from trusted government and EU sources) about travel restrictions and different rules and limitations inside countries of destination. Our priority is to first and foremost collect information about EU Member States, potentially widening the scope to include other countries as well.
The result will be a webpage combining and presenting information from the crisis response website of all EU MS as well as EU institutions, including information about the situation on borders using existing open data. The information would be visualised in a manner that is easy to grasp for everyone. Our solution includes two components: (1) a table that shows the gathered database info, which is renewed periodically(2) a map, which shows the status of restrictions in each county, including the situation on borders (open, closed, partly open).
The solution is built on a web-page. It uses a database built with MySql. For the map we are using different APIs to make it more interactive. It should be a web-page with a simple user interface.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of sufficient and compatible open data, a more complex system based on analysing open data with algorithms is currently not possible. However, a solution is still needed and quickly, as some countries are already preparing to ease travel restrictions.
In addition, we continue to map existing open data and highlight where it is not yet available, hoping to bring attention to the need for standardized open data. In the future, on the condition that sufficient open data will become available, we foresee developing a more complex system that would include developing a suitable algorithm.

Every day I am seeing multiple doctors and people associated with the essentials getting affected due to the community spread of coronavirus through the people who are either scared to test or others who do not even have any symptoms associated with the virus. I wanted to thus build a system to make them feel safer by tracking the undiscovered positive coronavirus cases by boosting the amount of testing that is done each day.
What it does
Our system works on a machine-learning algorithm to find out the common features and symptoms of the people who have coronavirus through the data entered by the hospitals and then use it to find if a person has a high vulnerability of having a virus or not. If yes, we built a health-tracking device that is worn by these people, at self-quarantine at their homes while it measures their heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen blood separation and skin temperature for 14 days. These are then tracked on our dashboard which is again monitored remotely by the doctors and if seem at high risk then would be shifted for intensive care. This way the workload of the doctors at the hospitals also reduces.
How we built it
We used multiple machine learning algorithms like SVM, logistic regression, Naive Bayes, neural networks to optimize the learning give out the most common features. The wearable health device uses multiple sensors like ECG, SpO2, RR sensors are used to measure the parameters and then this data is sent through IoT to the dashboard where it is monitored by the doctors.
Challenges we ran into
collecting the data of individual patients and their features and symptoms
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have been able to make an algorithm and successfully predict if a person is vulnerable or not and connect it to the server. If we get some more data from the hospitals and with the help of government permission we will be able to further make an even better and dependable platform.
What we learned
What's next for Ingenious COVID Tracking
We further plan to partner with multiple hospitals, pharma shops and get reliable data from there. A further partnership with Aarogya Setu would help us get us data. Further to this, we plan to reduce the cost of the health tracking device and get the data in real-time so that it is acceptable by people and doctors.

Small brands are struggling because of the crises to find affordable manufacturers to their decreased orders as MOQ's for conventional manufacturing methods are quite high and producing small amounts is not efficient. Many Asian manufacturers have stopped operating and will not survive the crises, jewelry brands need new efficient and sustainable ways to keep operating and fulfilling their orders.
Creators, travel bloggers, apparel brands and many other types of businesses need to expand their field of activities and entering fine jewelry is a way to get new clients and increase their online revenue. We help brands and companies to enter the jewelry game without any expertise or investments.
Jewelry manufacturers are closing down and laying off their employees as luxury market is getting hit real hard and their orders are rapidly decreasing. We help conventional manufacturers to virtually integrate 3D printing to their process, so they can compress their processes, save on using less resources and continue operating with much smaller amount of employees.
Our user-friendly Cloud factory platform will connect demand with suppliers to offer responsible, sustainable, fast and affordable precious metal manufacturing and change the unchanged precious metal market on a global scale.
Inspiration
In 2016 one of our Founders, Taavi Kikas, who was working for TalTec University and has been into 3D printing scene for already over a decade, building and developing software , met a former pro skater and a TV personality Bam Margera, who had fled the states to beautiful Estonia to fight depression.
Bam and Taavi met through a common friend and instantly the idea to print something for Bam was put into their heads.
From that meeting Bammerch was born. Bam got E-residency, a company was registered and we started manufacturing our jewelry items, collaborating with scientists from TalTec and using University printers that were only available for us twice a week during night time.
How we built it
Soon the project grew to new heights and we were facing the facts that without our own factory, we cannot proceed.
We decided to move from titanium and stainless steel to precious metals like silver and gold. After getting a government grant in 2017 we developed new printing parameters for a industrial 3D printers and a manufacturing process that enabled us to offer Turn-key service for sustainable and affordable fine jewelry.
In the beginning of 2018 we got financed by Estonian business magnet Armin Karu and successful serial entrepreneur Andrei Korobeinik and were able to build our own factory, expanding from our personal brand Bammerch and started to offer manufacturing service on a global scale for a wide range of businesses. Our clients are artists', creators', and sports', merchandise, corporations, jewelry brands and manufacturers.
What it does
Today, Cloud Factory has validated the capability to offer fast affordable and super sustainable service for fine-jewelry. We are offering a full A-Z service dealing with design, 3D modelling,on-demand manufacturing, branded packaging and even drop-shipping. Our service is user friendly and we help our clients with every aspect of the service on a extremely personal level so that our clients don't need to have any specific knowledge of precious metals, 3D modeling or 3D printing. We guide our clients from a wish to enter the jewelry market to benefiting form a passive revenue stream. Now our goal is to decentralize our manufacturing with small 3D printing hubs that can offer local service that drastically decreases transportation resources, delivery times and even cost of the goods.
The virtual no-inventory warehouses are semi-automated, meaning that the printers are operated remotely and the rest of the process ( manually detaching the items from the printer and post-polishing them are done by two or three local employees.)
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Cloud Factory is currently offering a responsible type of manufacturing service no one else in the world is offering that enables a wide range of businesses to easily add a passive revenue stream and enter the fine-jewelry market to benefit from their fans and following. Our service helps clients during each phase of the service on a very personal level and guides them through the process without any expertise or effort from their side.
Our technology enables to bring the green technologies into the highly pollutive and often unethical fine jewelry market.
We are a near zero waste company as our manufacturing produces almost no waste metal and even from that tiny amount we are able to recycle more than 95% of it.
Direct 3D printing is super fast, so we can offer on-demand manufacturing, making only items that already have an owner.
3D printing enables us to use less of all resources including time, material and human labor as it compresses the conventional manufacturing process by skipping or shortening any of the production steps like casting and molding.
Compared to conventional jewelry factories that need special pollution permissions, using direct metal 3D printing technology for jewelry manufcturing emits 80% less CO2 and after decentralizing the service providers our carbon footprint would be around 90% smaller compared to all other fine jewelry manufacturers.
Our struggles
Most complicated part has been validating our manufacturing ways. 3D printing has been a tool for prototyping and clients tend to be sceptical before seeing and touching the products personally.
We wanted to be absolutely 100% sure about our quality, sustainability, scalabilty timeframes and cost before decentralizing and focusing on sales as along the way we were finding the right suppliers to mach our responsible thinking andfiguring out how to maximize the quality and output while minimizing the manual work, timelines and use of resources.
In January 2020 we got funding from the chairman and owner of the biggest and oldest jewelry manufacturer in Estonia. This was the reassurance that we needed to continue building a next generation network for precious metal manufacturing that will shape the way we consume, make and think of fine jewelry.
What's next for Decentralized 3D printing network for precious metals
Our next step is to build an easy-to-use platform for our global clients to easily enter the fine jewelry game without any expertise, get instant quotes, order their products with only few clicks and track every aspect of our transparent and ethical manufacturing service.
Platform will also enable our clients to easily create from scratch or personalize already existing jewelry items.

It would a social network that rewards regenerative and altruistic actions with credits that can be redeemed across the network. This credit system becomes an alternative currency which is based in a different set of values and principles. The idea would be eventually people can live almost entirely from the credits they accrue through the network.
The problem with the current monetary system is it rewards unsustainable development and destructive actions. We require a new medium of exchange which supports only beneficial and helpful activity.
TR would have a trust system and rating system. It would function a bit like Couchsurfing. You go volunteer, let's say, at a small farm or in a crisis situation. This is recorded as hourly credits in TR. Later, you can redeem those credits at any place that takes them.
We would establish a network of TR centers in different cities and regions where members can stay, using credits. We would make deals with airlines etc to honor these credits. Businesses use the credits for nonprofit, philanthropy, and sustainable initiatives: good PR. Networks like NuMundo, intentional communities and retreats, would accept them.
Let's say you are a member of TR, you need a ride from Chicago to NY. Through the network you instantly find someone and pay them in credits. In that sense it is like a Couchsurfing for everything but with an accounting system that values people's contributions.
Instead of accruing interest, the TR credits slowly lose value over time (demarrage charge). So people are incentived to keep using and circulating them.
Communities can issue their own branded TR tokens for use locally. These can also be exchanged across the network, but perhaps communities can tweak them for various reasons. They function as medium of exhange for communities practicing mutual aid.
Regenerative farming, restoring soil, holistic health practices, education, sustainable tech initiatives, all forms of helpful volunteering are paid out in TR credits. There would be an internal governance system (sociocracy) where the community helps fine tune what activities count as regenerative/altruistic and other issues within the network. | therevolution.io | a social network that rewards volunteerism, altruism with a redeemable currency | ['Robert Schram', 'Daniel Pinchbeck', 'Fahim Khan', 'Linda Blake'] | [] | [] | 324 |

Nigeria is reported to have the fourth highest maternal mortality ratio in the world. One of the major contributing factors being the lack of information on the importance of care, illiteracy, common negative socio-cultural practices and the importance of access to health facilities with skilled medical professionals. Specifically, many women depend on relatives or friends to provide pregnancy and infant health related information, without taking into account the uniqueness of their pregnancy or newborn.
What it does
MAAMI, our maternal health literacy mobile solution, aims to serve as a platform for expectant and new mothers in underserved communities to access prompt, relevant and customised language‐based information on birth preparedness, complication readiness and post‐natal support. Our solution will provide free voice messages to users, providing government approved health and nutritional information. The messages are personalised to the user's stage of pregnancy or parenthood, and is customised to their local language. These messages, designed to run from the tenth week of pregnancy until the new baby turns one are expected to enable women and families make more informed decisions about their health and future, thereby reducing avoidable deaths due to childbirth.
How we built it
We are building this System using a web framework Django based on the python programming language. The sms feature was implemented with help of a Telecom API, owned by AfricaTalking. Also our system was made asynchronous with help of Celery Python Library. We will employ these same features for the voice integration
Challenges we ran into:
We encountered few challenges as we developed this system. Firstly, we had issues finding a good and affordable Telecommunications Api .
There Were compatibility issues between the libraries used and the current python version.
Accomplishments that we're proud of:
We are happy and proud that over a thousand users have benefited from our platform, which only delivers text message. We look forward to rolling out our voice messages in Nigerian local languages to further meet the demands of rural dwellers who cannot read or write
What we learned
There is a large information gap in our rural communities what need to be addressed

Our approach to this was to create a one-click solution:
https://app.3sicksty.com/
We wanted to provide the easiest possible solution for everyone to join us in tracking the spread of COVID-19
One-click, two colors. What color do you represent?
The only question we ask is “Are you sick or not?". Sick people are shown anonymously as red dots and healthy people are shown as blue dots on the map. #redvsblue
But you are not defining what sick means?
Social distancing is being enforced all around the world and the common guideline is that, if you are feeling sick or showing symptoms of any kind, you should stay home.
COVID19 has a variety of symptoms and you can still be contagious even when asymptomatic. Therefore it is strongly recommended not to be around other people at the moment.
Why?
We want to enforce #socialdistancing and #flattenthecurve. By tagging yourself anonymously on the map you can show others whether you are healthy or sick and thus help tracking the corona situation in your area. This information will help everyone, especially those in the risk group, to avoid public areas and thereby reduce the risk of spreading the virus to friends, the wider community, and particularly to the most vulnerable.
We are a Helsinki, Finland based group of super producers who rapidly innovate and develop products for predicting and preventing global threats, such as epidemics.
We believe that humans can improve the prediction and prevention of emergencies by collecting data, analyzing phenomena, and sharing fact-based information.

Aerial image of the suburb of Salvador. Source: folhapress (https://folhapress.folha.com.br/foto/10573372)
Inspiration
The main instruction to prevent the spread of Covid_19 is to frequently wash the hands and maintain social distance. How can people living in the suburb areas follow these instructions if they have
no running water
? This is what happens in the suburbs of Brazil. In the thirty first of March, the local news in Bahia denounces that 13 of the neighbours composing Salvador’s suburb had no water service provided, which represents more than 50% of neighbour. It is estimated that around 300 thousand people live in that area (some websites report this number is around 600 thousand people), i.e, at least
150 thousand people might be without water
. Yet, these people have no power to access the government leaders and to ask for immediate solutions.
What it does
We propose an app to
empower poor communities to denounce the lack of water supply
. During the hackathon, we propose to build a pilot app considering the area of Salvador suburbs. We count with the local social group Guardiões da APA Bacia do Cobre / São Bartolomeu (Bacia do Cobre / São Bartolomeu Environmental Protected Area Guardians) support. The group will be responsible to provide local data and to connect the app to local government departments and to the local water provider. They will also contribute to app distribution and usage. The app has the potential to be extended to other locations, empowering poor communities around the country.
How we built it
Our squad is composed of high skilled professionals in order to develop a mobile app capable to be used by citizens and can give then voice to claim about water shortages
Challenges we ran into
Considering the social distance instruction we plan to work on in a virtual team. So, internet connections may interfere in the project development. However, we can highlight the team is experienced in this situation and have excellent tools to avoid this kind of problem.
We also may face challenges in the app distribution and usage, considering the range of the focused area. Thus, the social entity Guardiões da APA Bacia do Cobre / São Bartolomeu will inform and encourage partners, such as social entities, social groups, and NGO to publicize the app and motivate the population to use it as an useful tool to contact the water service provider (Embasa). The group will also be responsible to announce and connect the local government and Embasa to the app. We will also count on social media and WhatsApp groups to spread the message and make the app known and in use.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Mobile app will be totally operational and published at the app stores for Android and iOS
What we learned
If the actions to prevent spread of Covid_19 is a challenge for all humanity, it can be harder in the suburbs of Brazil.

European Solidarity Voucher
to ensure liquidity of SMEs in the EU’s tourism sector
Challenge sponsored by the European Commission
The impact of the coronavirus crisis on SMEs and micro-businesses in the tourism sector
In the current situation of a general close down, the tourism sector suffers from severe cash flow problems and many providers risk going out of business unless they get support. To remedy this we propose to mobilise key business partners, such as online platforms via which most of the small tourism businesses connect with their clients, as well as credit card companies and payment system providers to come up with a voucher system for future consumption. Such a European Solidarity Voucher Scheme would aim at keeping small suppliers in Europe’s tourism sector (restaurants, bed&breakfast, small hotels) solvent during the COVID 19 crisis by selling services now and delivering them later. Similar schemes have already been launched for small local businesses e.g. in France
https://soutien-commercants-artisans.fr/
Overall challenge: Solidarity Vouchers to deliver liquidity for Europe’s tourism sector
The European Solidarity Vouchers (voucher) Scheme incentives customers to buy services from suppliers in the tourism sector and consume the services after the crisis. Under the scheme customers would buy vouchers (for a small hotel or B&B, or restaurant) via existing aggregator platforms.
An emphasis of the solidarity scheme is that all actors are coming together to support small businesses. The suggestion is that the online platforms (i.e. booking.com; expedia.com, etc.) would be willing to waive some of their booking fees based on the motivation of demonstrate solidarity with small businesses. Second, the SMEs themselves would offer discounts (10-15%) to costumers to provide them with incentives to purchase the vouchers. Finally, the consumers would make a critical contribution to finance the SMEs and micro-businesses through the purchase of the solidarity vouchers, knowing that they won’t be able to use the vouchers for the next couple of weeks or even months.
Specific challenges
:
1) Incentivizing the customer with a guarantee
A key challenge of the scheme is to develop the right incentives for citizens to purchase solidarity vouchers. Given the current uncertainty of the economic outlook, many citizens are currently not planning any vacations, or make reservations in restaurants or hotels. Many people however are realizing that their favorite hotel, bed and breakfast or restaurant are struggling to survive the current coronavirus crisis and that thee support from consumers is needed.
2) Covering the financial risks of potential bankruptcies
Many customers will buy vouchers for such suppliers only if they have a guarantee that money spent on vouchers is not lost if the supplier becomes insolvent. A key challenge is how to design the voucher scheme. Would a combination of getting a discount and a guarantee provide sufficient incentives for consumer to purchase the vouchers and thus providing liquidity to cash-strapped SMEs.
There are different ways to addressing this challenge.
Trading of vouchers: The approach for a voucher guarantee is that, in the case of a business going bankrupt, to cover the cost of the holder of the voucher for that business redeeming it with another provider participating in the scheme that is still solvent.
Consumers are taking all the risk: In this model, there is no coverage of the risk by the platforms, businesses or any intermediary. The consumers would be willing to take the full risk of the vouchers out of solidarity. This model has been developed in the California with the support of a pilot launched by Instagram. It might however be limiting since many consumers do not have the income nor the appetite to cover all the risk.
EU guarantee scheme: This model would develop a dedicated guarantee scheme supported by the European Commission. The dedicated guarantee scheme would significantly lower the risk of bankruptcy of SMEs by providing the necessary financial backing to the voucher scheme. A key question is how to design a scheme that would be based on a public-private partnership and allow for a risk sharing between the EU and the online platforms. What would be the basis for this risk-sharing scheme and what would be the incentives for the platforms to participate in such a collective guarantee scheme. What risk coverage should be provided in order to enable the maximum coverage of SMEs across Europe? What would be the impact of such a guarantee scheme? How many restaurants, hotels and bed and breakfast could be covered with a given budget? What budget would be needed for the guarantee scheme to have an EU-wide reach and to have a significant impact on the tourism sector?
A key challenge is to predict the default rate of the small businesses and how to adjust the scheme to the very different economic and socio-cultural situation across the different regions of Europe. It is being estimated that the default rate will vary significantly between the stronger and weaker economic regions of Europe.
3) Social Economy: How to develop a socially balanced scheme?
A key concern of the scheme is to be as inclusive as possible and to ensure a coverage across all regions and small businesses across Europe. The economic impact of the crisis is expected to affect dis proportionally economically weaker regions, which have significantly lower income levels and less public resources available to support local businesses. Furthermore, the purchasing power of consumers varies significantly across Europa’s region, so that the uptake of the solidarity voucher scheme might vary significantly across Europe. Would it be possible to develop a scheme, whereby structurally poorer region receive a higher coverage rate for the vouchers.
A second key concern is the viability of smaller, national or even local online platforms that are confronted with severe competition from the large platforms. How could the scheme ensure that the small market actors have equal opportunities to participate and benefit from the program? How would it be possible to reach the many smaller platforms that focus on niche markets or are very regionally focused in their scope?
4) Uptake of the scheme
A key challenge for the program is to ensure a strong update of the program by the consumers. The scheme would be most successful, similar to any insurance scheme, if there is a very high uptake of the scheme. For this to happen a very strong communications and outreach, strategy would be needed? How should the program be branded and what would be the best communications strategy to reach the most possible amount of SMEs and consumers. What should be the main messages of a possible communications campaign and which communications should be reached to reach citizens across the EU, including the elderly and more vulnerable groups, which frequently do not have access to the Internet?
5) Limited digitalization and digital skills of SMEs
Another key challenge is that the scheme requires a certain digital maturity of small businesses in the tourism industry. The main concept is based on the issuing of the vouchers in a digital format and that the small businesses already have an online presence with the online platforms or their own websites where consumers can purchase online vouchers or gift cards. How could the scheme also support small and micro-businesses that have a limited online presence and/or limited digital skills?
6) Technological Solutions
What technological solutions would be best suited to implement the program? Should a centralized online platform be developed to match the demand with the supply of vouchers? Alternatively could the program be implemented through the existing online platforms? What changes would have to be made to the currently operating online platforms to implement the scheme. Would it be useful to combine the scheme with existing crowdfunding platforms or would it be advisable to develop a new platform for the program, where consumers can provide funding to individual SMEs through the crowdfunding approach and the solidarity voucher scheme.
7) Role of Role of E-platforms
Many platforms (e.g.: quandoo, tablebooker, eatingeurope, justeat, ubereats, booking, tripadvisor etc.) already match customers with businesses. They would manage distribution of vouchers to consumers. What role would the platforms have in the voucher scheme? How could the online platforms and their associated banks participate in a risk sharing mechanisms between the public and private sector to cover the risk of the potential bankruptcy of small business owners? What would be an appropriate mechanism for the online platform to set up and individual or industry-wide guarantee fund to support the voucher schemes? Under which conditions would the platforms be willing to waive some of their fees they charge to the service providers?
8) Implementation
How should the program be implemented? What would be the suggested governance structure of the suggested public-private partnership? What role would Member States, the European Investment Bank and National Promotional Banks play in developing and implementing the scheme? What role would the existing online platforms have? How could the SMEs and micro-businesses best participate in the implementation?
9) Economic Impact and Benefits of an EU Solidarity Guarantee Scheme
The goal of the scheme is to help ease the effects of a potential economic recession following the corona crisis across the EU and in particular in countries that ware most affected by the crisis. The objective is that consumers get real benefits, without risk, by helping tourism sector suppliers stay alive. Small suppliers (often micro-enterprises) would benefit from the cash advance that helps them avoid a liquidity bottleneck.
A key open question however is what would be the expected economic impact of the program? How many small businesses could benefit from the program and what would be the effects on supporting the financial liquidity of businesses. To what extent would the program help SMEs and micro-businesses to avoid bankruptcy? | European Solidarity Voucher for SMEs in tourism | provide solutions to lower the impact of the coronavirus crisis on SMEs and micro-businesses in the tourism sector | ['www.elicense.kz', 'Dauren Aubakirov', 'Artur Serra', 'Brian Weinberg', 'Hemali Joshi', 'Soren Gigler', 'Jitesh Singh', 'Jimmy Caceres', "Matthew O'Grady", 'Noah Gigler'] | [] | [] | 330 |

COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us in different aspects: we had to limit our social lives, change our habits for a bunch of time, be separated from our cultural life. As four linguists and volunteers of social cohesion, this COVID-19 had limited our opportunities to learn more languages, experience about different cultures and meet new friends all around the world. We believed that we will achieve our fight with this virus in all aspects, including the cultural and educational basis for foreign language learners. We proposed a solution that enables us to create a language learning environment meeting voluntarily L1 speakers with passionate learners, and when we heard about The Global Hack, we decided to hack the virus with our solution!
What it does
HemDem is an app-based language learning and teaching app which you can make "language pals". It leans on the idea that language learning is a complex process that includes culture exchanging, trying to express your ideas and thoughts and excitement.
In our app, there are two major groups of users: Learners and Volunteers.
Volunteers are required to know their claimed languages proficiently or as a native speaker, learners only need excitement and passion to learn more.
After registration and verification progress, every learner is paired with a volunteer in accordance with the given data by users such as the ability to spend time, common interests and cultural cohesion. These data are also used for gamification-based teaching yield assessment processes and setting the motivation checkpoints for learners.
By the pairing is done by our algorithm, volunteers will lead and help learners in their journey of learning languages for sustainable learning rather than an assigned teacher. (Because, we believe in collaboration in language learning) For example the assigned volunteer will read a particle of novel together to help the learner in learning new words, inspire about their contextal usages while having a online chit-chat, or give grammatical clues how to write a blog post about skyscrapers!
Because HemDem additionally concerns about learning new cultures and meeting new people as much as possible, it is free to change the assigned volunteer every session of learning.
Major advantages of HemDem as a language learning app:
-Makes language learning reachable for everyone (it's free) and enjoyable
-Creates an environment which experienced individuals (volunteers) will exchange their knowledge with learner ones
-Encourages the soliditary between all countries by voluntarily teachers and excited learners
-Enables to learn efficently by peer learning and meeting new people
-During these days while we are totally settled in our homes, it enables to learn by real-time learning
-Strengthens the social cohesion between people
-Reduces the risk of social problems due to pandemic such as anxiety, physiological problems, it enables you to make lingual friends which you can talk your problems with!
How we built it
We are mainly building HemDem with Android Studio, Python and Kotlin.
Challenges we ran into
We are looking forward to face every challenge during our developing process.

Due to the current emergency situation that has been announced in lots of states around the globe we are facing the possible beginning of massive unemployment. Hundreds of thousands of people are already loosing their jobs and are desperate about their future. Different states around the world are trying to prevent this growing problem but in most cases the capacity of governmental programs (if there are such at all) are not capable of coping with that amount of unemployed people. The ones among us who are used to stay connected via digital communication will need to find different ways to find jobs, project etc. This is going to be a tuff time for everyone. But what do the ones do, who are not used to finding jobs through digital offers, like most of the people in, for instance, IT, tech- or design industries do?
There will be the biggest need to pick up and re-educate the people (we assume those to most often belong to older generations, approx. 45-60 y.o.) who are not used to digital portals, social media and digital communication in general and bring them into the competition among young generations. Give them the possibility to provide their own skills and contribute to the cohesion of the community they live in.
What it does
first of all - in allows you to post possible gigs - something that needs to be done but you don't know how to do it. It could be everything - from translating papers, repairing the toilet seat, going to the supermarket and buying essential stuff to professional or bigger gigs like creating web application etc.
It allows you to find and apply for gigs that you would like to help out with, according to your skills that you offer, knowledge that you possess or also you attached cv.
It offers a skillset improvement sector, where you can educate yourself in the simplest but most useful topics nowadays like "how to install skype on your computer", "how to use a google account", "how to pay by a credit card online"
It offers a network where you can meet new people, combine skills and even meet your potential new employer for the times when we start to recover from the crisis.
How we built it
the frontend is programmed with the JS library ReactJS. The frontend is connected to our backend server, which we program with the PHP-based library Laravel. Our backend accesses the database, which we program via Firebase. The advantage of Firebase is that it is safe, easy to use and flexible in its nature. These 3 components make it possible to program a fast and stable app that can be used by thousands of users at the same time.
Challenges we ran into
the biggest challenge that we're facing is the target group related functionality. We are building a web application that needs to be simple, understandable but also be able to offer the needed variety of features in order to be a helpful tool for the older society. UI and UX will need to be based on different values as "common" understanding requires it to be. Structure and functions will need to be adjusted a target group that hasn't been addressed too often digitally.
since we are a quite small team, we also find ourselves challenged by all the amount of work we will need to do on our own when it comes to testing phase, debugging and launch process. We will need more support fir that.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
by now would be the first step - having understood the seriousness of problem of upcoming unemployment as well as adjusted our workflow and team spirit to the current situation

Problem: New and existing couples usually lack financial education to discuss and run household finances, that leads to money being No.1 reason for divorces.
Solution: a Virtual Household Treasurer app that will walk the couple through complicated decisions with simple questions, automate the majority of bookkeeping, and educate the couple to set healthy financial goals.
Money is the No.1 reason for divorces. Here in Latvia we don't teach basic household or even personal "financial hygiene" in schools, the legacy of post-soviet times has left a skewed understanding of what money is, and money somehow still is a taboo topic.
Once two people form a household, they are forced to deal with Question of Finances but face various problems:
lack of vocabulary to communicate
lack of understanding (or even misunderstanding)
inability to separate personal finances from household finances
misapplication by analogy of personal finances to household finances
What it does
We will create a Product is a Virtual Household Treasurer app with an ultimate goal to have both partners personally content with the financial side of their joint household. It has many aspects, and the critical ones are:
Mediation - first and foremost, initiate a conversation about Question of Finances. When one of the partners learns about the app, equip it with vocabulary, basic knowledge and courage, to enable him to introduce the app to the other partner. Introduce various use-cases to kickstart brainstorming about what principles they would like to choose. Teach basic vocabulary and principles to facilitate the discussion.
Bootstrap - once decision about principles is made, walk through initial bookkeeping and educate about details.
Routine - routinely, one or both partners will make some inputs, will look at some reports, and will seek advice on some decisions. We will automate what's possible, and utilize BigData to provide context where possible.
Adjust - principles are flexible, can be changed and transition procedures are in place. From personal experience, we've pivoted the principles every year.
Educate - track situations and proactively suggest personalized advice.
Our competitors are:
Expense tracking tools: Mint, Clarify Money, Toshl, and internal tools within Revolut and some banks (e.g. Swedbank)
Budgeting tools: YNAB, EveryDollar, PocketGuard and Goodbudget
Expense tracking tools are simple to use (or rather hard not to use in case of Revolut & banks), but mere tracking doesn’t fix bad financial habits.
Budgeting tools are of high commitment but also teaches to spend within means.
Competitors lack meaningful shared ledger functionality that has some workarounds (e.g. create separate 3rd account) but at a cost of high inconvenience (e.g. duplicate entries). None of them addresses the problem of decision making around the two most central questions in households: “how to split (income) money”, and “how to spend (expense) money“.
The Unique Selling Point (USP) of our app is to be household-first: start with principles about how to split and spend money, build one shared ledger around those agreed-on principles, and allow to adjust them anytime.
How I built it
Architecture is going to be a standard backend (python3 & django), API (json) and frontend (TS & NativeReact for mobile). The core backend library is beancount (Double-Entry Accounting from Text Files) that’s very flexible and covers all our bookkeeping needs. Later we will add a BigData stack on top of it.
Challenges I ran into
A simple way to onboard and teach users about finances, given that there are so many different people.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Kalvis was unsatisfied with existing tools and started custom wealth-tracking personal accounting 7 years ago. Later he started to use beancount, and has also contributed several popular plugins to it since then. Then the personal ledger was maintained in parallel with a household ledger together with Rota, until it was merged in one. Furthermore, most of the major possible hiccups have been experienced - extended periods of inactivity, change of accounting principles on average each year, as well all diverse types of income forms: unemployment, random freelancer income, stable salary, and proceeds from personal business.
We have found an ideal backbone for the product - beancount - that has survived everything we threw to it, and we understand it inside out. But it is ugly text-based program that’s even challenging to install.
We enjoy financial contentment, and after learning that so many couples don’t have it, all we wish that they would enjoy contentment too. Judging by their interest, this application is what would help them!
What I learned
Recently we have shared our experience with friends and acquaintances about personal finance, and found out that every couple at some level are not content with their household finance, have tried “to count money” but soon aborted due various reasons. More than half of them volunteer for future user tests when asked after hearing our experience, if and only if it was a convenient application, not what beancount currently is.
What's next for Viho
Next milestone is an online Quiz for a couple to determine a Income splitting model best for them.

The world economy is expected to decline significantly due to the global restrictions. The state of emergency has globally affected us already, bringing bankruptcy, downsizing of employees and significant budget cut-backs in numerous companies. Millions of people all over the world are losing their jobs. And no job equals no money.
Therefore, a lot of people are going to depend on social welfare, while public social institutions are overloaded as it is. Not to mention people to whom help might not be available, because they’re too old or sick to contact anyone and let them know, they need aid. Seems like a lose-lose situation. Luckily, we have seen certain redistributions in some sectors, such as tourism, event management, restaurant businesses, etc. People are providing free food for those in need, because at the moment, there are not enough “regular consumers” for them to cater anyway. Here’s where FeedMe comes into play, acting as a catalyst between free food providers and those, who need help.
What it does
We are roadmapping people in need of aid, by collecting and verifying phone numbers of those people and tying them to a physical pinpointed location.
This allows us to build a semi-anonymous database and statistics of the amount of help an area might need. The phone number, location and other information can be used to communicate any central food help options when they become available, also accounting how much help they can provide.
Providers can also sign up and get verified to see a map of the area they are in and choose who they can help by possibly delivering food to their location and letting them know about it.
With a central database we can put more effort into keeping the data valid and active and protect as much private information as possible, while still helping those people.
How will we build it
We will build an open-source web app landing page with the most modern tools and services that allows signing up into the database via SMS verification or just signing up via sending an SMS to a number and answering some questions if we have time for that.
There will be a separate option for providers to sign up to use the database and provide any help that would trigger notifications and confirmations via SMS communication on the signupee side. Any central help providers like soup kitchens, can just trigger a notification with information to X amount of nearby signupees.
Challenges
Finishing the development of the provider side MVP on time
Reaching the people who need help
Protecting the personally identifiable data of signupees while allowing providers to help with minimum effort
Finding providers and verifying their intents
Not discriminating any signupees while protecting the system from abuse

Coronavirus quick-spreading has forced nations to use all tricks in the book to contain it. A wide range of technologies has been used in their fight against the global pandemic, from applications that collect data to track the spread of the virus to 3D printed ventilators for hospitals.
As Ray Kurzweil said technology is the only thing that helped us overcome our problems, we use our tools to extend our range of possibilities, our minds, and our "mindwares", and as the philosophers, Andy Clark and David Chalmers talk about technology as a scaffolding that extends our thoughts, our reach, and our .
Driven by our passion for technology and with the increasing number of Coronavirus infections and the limited testing resources worldwide, flattening the curve is only achievable through collaborative efforts and social distancing became a necessity to survive.
Social distancing implies changing our day-to-day routine to reduce close contact with others. While general social distancing's rules are easy to maintain on sidewalks, it can be more stressful for business owners in job sites and grocery stores. Moreover, it complicates the government's responsibility to crowded active institutions and public places.
On this matter, we will address the problem of unmonitored crowds during the Hackathon by developing the SDSS as the abbreviation of the Social Supervision System. It is a real-time software based on image processing to spot crowd density. The system will take as input real-life videos from different crowded places to analyze, identify, and report the measured distance status between presented individuals in the given frame. As a result, an alert will be sent to the supervisor in case of distance violation. Thus, preserving the social rules promoted by the world health organization.
Teamwork makes the dream work, but sometimes it can be a challenge. Especially when successful teamwork is all about connecting with teammates, and with a common goal or purpose. While remote work is physically possible, it’s not the optimal way for our team to engage.
As our daily lives are disrupted, we have learned to build our own routine and create a remote work ambiance and find time to laugh with each other. Communicating through a digital medium without shared physical context made developing the project more challenging especially with breaking up connectivity every once and a while, but we have managed to re-read what we wrote and what we explained and we have always ensured that all team members are on the same page and no assumptions were slipped through without noticing and those little tricks make a world of difference.
And eventually what we must learn and keep in mind is that we are at a pivotal point in history because now we've decommissioned natural selection, and we are now the chief agents of evolution and we have to maintain this position with all our collective efforts.
Our strong and endless will lies within the next steps with what we are planning for SDSS. That includes improving its ability for crowd detection and faster alerts. We also would like to build a Web and Mobile application to extend our use cases to make it useful by not only governments and business owners but also by simple individuals.

SMS chatbot
Webapp
Delivery portal
Inspiration
When the pandemic began, it was clear that the elderly would suffer disproportionately - not only are they the age group most at risk from the virus, but they are also the likeliest to be living alone, meaning they have to do their own groceries. Of course, supermarkets have shown to be transmission vectors for the virus, making a simple essential act like picking up weekly groceries something that can lead to catching Coronavirus. And this is of course, a much more dangerous move for the elderly, since the mortality rate increases exponentially with age. One could suggest online ordering as a solution, however this age group is likelier to be tech-illiterate, and hence conventional online ordering is less likely to draw them in, due to their unfamiliarity with it combined with confusing site layouts. That is why we built CommunityHero - a truly accessible online ordering solution, tailored to keep the most vulnerable parts of our population safe.
What we do
CommunityHero provides 3 main interfaces for online ordering - firstly, a smart Messenger chatbot which provides product images, helpful tips and uses Machine Learning to help parse each customer's shopping list. Secondly, we built an SMS interface for those not on Facebook/not on the Internet, with approximately the same functionality as the Messenger chatbot. Lastly, we built a
webapp
which works like traditional online ordering sites, albeit with a simpler layout.
Messenger
SMS
All of these interfaces, each one designed to tailor to the needs of our target customer (an elderly person with little to no tech literacy), link to a
web interface showing all pending orders
. This is accessible by our “Community Heroes” - part of our volunteer delivery network. We currently plan to partner with local NGOs in every area we serve to help find a large number of Community Heroes quickly and efficiently.
Community Heroes can log in on a web interface and see all of the orders available on a map and choose which ones to order. Upon choosing an order, they can claim it, so that they can see the full order details. The system will also then send a message to the original customer saying that their order has been claimed by someone. In order to further decrease the chances of infection between the community hero and the customer, we present the “Community Hero” a set of guidelines that they need to follow to ensure the process is safe, including provisions to wear PPE.
How we built it
We use an Android phone as the SMS gateway, which receives incoming SMS messages and forwards them to the backend, built using Django and hosted on Heroku. We use NLP to search for the products requested in the products available, and choose the best combination that minimizes price and distance. The searching is done by splitting all strings into N-grams and using the Jaccard Distance. Further, based on what products are most commonly in carts, we made a product weighting system, based on how popular each item is. For example, even though Soy milk and Skimmed milk would both be results to the search 'milk', the user is more likely to want skimmed milk. This is done automatically based on the collective current shopping carts of all users. This allows for trends to remain as trends (for example, hopefully, disinfectant products will not be so common in 2-3 years)
Our chatbots are stateful - this means that the context from the previous messages is understood in order to find the state in which the conversation is. For example, the bot knows that the user is still completing his/her profile, so it understands that an incoming message containing 'Yes' is not something to search for, but rather an answer to a previous question.
The frontend communicates with the backend RESTfully.

Challenges
It was difficult to find a way to find a viable business model, since it is based on human interest for others, and volunteering, which may be difficult to promote. However, since we are in the middle of a global pandemic, it is a lot easier to get people to dedicate their time than before.
Currently, our business model relies on attaining revenue through small commissions stores will pay whenever a customer shops with them through our platform. This revenue will be used to help provide PPE (masks & gloves) and support to our Community Heroes, who we will source via local NGOs. The benefit to this approach is it allows us to scale faster than usual - NGOs are often more efficient when it comes to getting together a large number of volunteers, and we are certain that for a
A technical difficulty we had was the fact that for Facebook Messenger to accept our messages / to send us messages, it needed to be hosted over HTTPS. Therefore, it couldn't be tested locally without a domain name. Hence, every time we changed something in the code we needed to push to GitHub, and redeploy the whole backend, which took 2-3 minutes every time, no matter how small of a change we wanted to make.
Another thing that we were anxious about is the Facebook App Review. This is a process needed in order to make an app that uses the Facebook API live. However, this is a manual process that may take up to 2 weeks! We didn't expect the process to finish in time for the demo, so we also implemented a process through which anyone can send us their Facebook profile, and they would be added as testers. Fortunately, the process finished a few hours before the submission deadline, so even though it was already implemented, we don't need to use this long (and manual) process of adding testers, since our chatbot is now public.
Accomplishments
Awarded at the Greek Crowdpolicy Antivirus Hackathon amongst 50 teams!
We were able to make significant progress on the chatbot within the past 2 days.The idea was refined and revised multiple times, and we feel that the idea itself is quite unique - we certainly haven’t been able to find an equivalent alternative on the market. Even though there are a few similar ideas in the hackathon, with the same concept of crowd-delivery, we believe that our range of ordering methods adds significant value to our product.

Use the FB Messenger API to send messages
Go through the FB verification process

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/test-prioritising-based-on-an-index-calculation | Implementation:
The ground work begins from Data Collection
Volunteers of small numbers from localities consituting to a particular heathcentre register themselves for data collectiion.
Collecting travel data of individuals of a specific town from travel agencies
Hospitals help share their data of individuals who were once treated there(for ailments and their conditions).
The Data includes
Direct contact, indirect contact with patients - (from surveys by volunteers or by contact tracing)
Health conditions : diabetes, BP, heart ailments, lung ailments etc..( from hospitals, themselves who share the info, surveys etc..)
Travel history of the patient(last 1 month), travel energy or tendency of the patient will also be taken into account - (from agencies, volunteers)
Data merge
From the different data collected and analysed, our algorith makes a database of a bulk of individuals with their whole of medical history, travel, contacts etc..
Using weighted sampling methods
, we assign weights to each parameter such as ailments, travel etc individually, and the algorithm selects the specified sample population of the people to test instead of a completely random test and thus increasing the efficiency of preventing further spread.
Final Output
We finally get the specified priority on whom should be tested before another, thus saving time and prioritizing the reach.
Application
It can be implemented at clusters to nearest hospitals or primary health centres wherein, this data collection can take place. Rather than random test of patients from whole population, we can analyse test in a specified population wherein it will become more effective than a random test.When no of samples are more And each test having higher lead time, Prioritising will be useful. Also, once this activity is done, we would have a health register of individuals, that can also be analysed and used for future research and locality study.
How we plan to accomplish whats next
We develop the app and distribute for local healthcentres wherein they can control its functionality, volunteers register themselves and we assign very few for a certain juridiction of a healthcentre(inorder to prevent extrea-labour), we request travel agencies to share data of recent travelers(their travel history)itals to provide details of people ailments. Once data in collected, we on the same time link up all and create the database for individuals in the cluster(healthcentre juridiction and the healthcentre would have a lot of people in database with their whole necessary infomaton. The algorithm then sorts out the priority on whom the tests should be conducted and thus improving efficiency of a random test.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/gosafe | The corona-virus started in china late last year, and since then, it has spread around the world to the point being declared a pandemic by the WHO. The main problem is the quick spread of the virus that leads to serious health problems and even death in extreme cases. The hole humanity is affected by this catastrophe. It is quite obvious then that the only solution to pop in mind in the confinement and that's what most governments believed in and eventually applied.
It is very hard to manage all of the population and respecting all of their needs in this kind of unprecedented situation. As IT professionals, we decided to help and do our parts to overcome this international crisis. In fact, our main objective is to enforce the government's decision to apply the quarantine, helping to reduce the spread; meaning reduce social contacts, reducing the movement of people and gatherings and therefore reducing the chances of catching the virus, we thought, why not create an application to help respect that and give us the chance to go out when it is necessary in an organized and authorized planning that takes under consideration many
factors.
GoSafe is the solution proposed by our team, and it will be developed from scratch. GoSafe users are already registered. their localisation is well known via the GPS service. Only then the user will choose from a long list what exactly he is going to do (buying grocery, going to the doctor, going to the ATM...) and depending on that, the application will give him the exact period of time he is allowed to go out based on the number of persons authorized by GoSafe and propose the best itinerary to reach all the closest places he needs (the itinerary is well calculated in order to keep him away from crowded places and close to where he lives).
PS: If this person does not respect the planing (the timing he is allowed to go out) he might be sanctioned, considering of course that the low enforcement will be able to check every person's permission via a code given to every single one wanting to go out.

In the Pangs of a Global Pandemic or the Invisible Hand of Poverty, knowledge is key in saving souls, both physically via hacks and on a spiritual level, to escape isolation & hopelessness. The gateways to knowledge, however, are always sealed up for only those, seated on privilege, the price of books, the library membership fees (direct and indirect,
of having legal homes, etc.
), and the price tags to schools, tutorials and, especially today, online classes being hurdles too high for the masses. Hence, we're building Virunova, a Charge-free, Interactive, Online, Distributed Learning Platform, with its star tool, BiblioCache, the Open Source, Distributed Library System for Physical Books. The reason is simple. When the world unlocks and the resources run scarce, money will definitely seek barley before books.
What it does
Virunova
consists of multiple tools, mainly focussed around helping people gain access to knowledge. Alongside the usual
repository of research papers, e-books
, and
pre-recorded video lectures & tutorials
, freely accessible to the public, Virunova will also have a
Distributed Learning System
, wherein, a teacher may actively teach, and clear doubts of students on any basis they like. For assistance in this task, there'll be a
collaborative whiteboard
, a
video conferencing
system & of course, an
audio communication
tool. The collaborative whiteboard being designed will communicate only via diffs, thus at a
few bits per second
, enabling its use with the
poorest of internet connections
possible. We aim, though this, to build the Wikipedia for Learning.
This is accompanied by
BiblioCache
, the
Distributed Library System
, where we
register our books
and
share it with the world
, for others to borrow, all the while, not having to let go of our access to it, since we too can borrow it back again.
How we built it
It's being built as a website using Django, Go, MariaDB on NGINX, and other tools. In the future, we're trying to implement our own alternative to the blockchain, called the Open Hive, to facilitate its truly distributed nature. All code is freely available & will forever be, on
SourceForge
.
What's next for Virunova
We're hoping to complete the implementation and launch it to the world for utility.

Inspiration
This idea was conceived when in our very own city, we were able to see a drastic disparity between the different areas that we lived in, while some areas excelled in some parameters, they lacked in others, and vice versa. We realized that the government doesn't have access to proper data from the grassroots level, which may lead to overspending in certain sectors and certain areas, causing a disparity between the quality of services and essentials provided in two areas which are part of the same city.
We decided to build an application with the purpose of helping the government identify the quality of essentials and services being received in certain areas, and redirect the assignment and allocation of their resources to lessen the disparity and this is how, LookOut was born!
What we do
LookOut crowdsources data from the users about their residential area. Users rate their area based on 4 parameters daily, to form a Lifestyle Quality Index for their respective area. This raw data is then provided to the government, to learn more about the conditions of the different areas, and to reallocate resources accordingly, improving equitable distribution of services and essentials. The data collected is regularly updated for a time period of 14 days, to ensure a more accurate representation of the current scenario and to avoid redundancy. Users can also track their progress in the progress calendar, which also reminds them of their quarantine period.
How we built it
We initially used Figma to design the user interface.Then we started working on the backend, which we implemented through Node.js, we also made a controller in PHP that communicates with the backend and handles the job of requesting data from the model and displaying it in the browser. We integrated a location API, that would detect the pin codes, and sort the data accordingly, the data is stored in Mongo DB Atlas.
Challenges
Due to us having separate preferences about the Model and Controller of the MVC architecture, one implementation challenge was to make Node+MongoDB talk to PHP. We solved the problem by making an API using Express and then making PHP send requests to that API to retrieve data. Learning to send requests from PHP turned out to not be as simple as we initially assumed.
Accomplishments
Our application won the 2nd runners up in The Global Hack(Governance Track), and was in the top 300 in Hack The Crisis India. We have made significant progress on the project within just a few days. The idea was refined and revised multiple times, the idea itself is quite unique, and we haven’t been able to find an equivalent alternative.
What's Next
We are further looking to collaborate with state governments to run a pilot program by deploying the applications in their respective cities. After the pilot program, we’d try to scale vertically by collaborating with other state governments in India. Once we attain enough sustainability and cover a significant number of states and are able to perform to the set expectations, we’d look to onboard international embassies which face a similar disconnect between the public and the government and cater to their specific geographical needs through multiple localised features.

Challenge: Government Agencies are finding it challenging to correctly & completely identify possible contact trails of patients who unfortunately test positive of COVID19 infection.
Gap: This is a problem since traceability is retrospectively determined after the patients test positive and is largely dependent on the patient's ability to recollect and map it to the last few weeks.
Risk: Key part of stopping COVID19 pandemic is to identify High Risk patients to avoid community transmission.
What it does
The problem we are trying to solve here is the lack of Digitized IT platform which captures data of contact trail of individuals across the nation on a daily basis.
It's absolutely necessary for any government agency in such pandemic scenarios to have this visibility to identify contact trail of COVID19 patient.
This will help break the infection chain to avoid community transmission.
Overall we are digitizing a tedious aspect of gathering patient trail through our platform based crowd sourcing.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/xt-bioe | AI for rapid COVID19 vaccine production on bioreactors
Inspiration
Many labs across the world are racing towards two goals right now: 1) developing COVID19 vaccines, and 2) developing immunoassays (test kits that verify the immunity of the patient). The next challenge, however, will be to produce them on a scale enormous enough to supply the entire population.
For most parts, the production will take place in bioreactors - starting from small lab flasks, going all the way to industry-grade cistern-size reactors. Although the technology has been around for decades, the process of scaling from smaller reactors to larger ones is highly complex and non-linear, therefore, being time and resource demanding. Finding the optimal bioreactor growth factors can take up to 12 month and costs millions of dollars, thus prolonging the time-to-patient of vaccines and immunoassays and making them less affordable.
What it does
When vaccine development phase is done, they get mass produced with the help of bioreactors. We are building an optimization tool for these bioreactors(advanced design of experiment software) to accelerate the COVID19 vaccine and immunity test-kit reagent go-to-market time. The software helps in finding the right bioreactor process and microorganism nutrient mixture parameters for scaling the production - rapidly and with less resources required.
How we built it
We are building a bioreactor process optimization tool named "xT BioE".
By combining the industry standard Design of Experiment (DoE) methodology, that has already been proved for many years, with innovative AI algorithms and our optimization expertise in the fields of additive manufacturing and specialty chemicals, the team has embarked on a mission to deliver a state-of-the-art software for finding the right bioreactor process parameters and cell culture nutrient mixture parameters.
The software will help to scale the production of vaccines and reagents, shortening the time needed to move from a smaller bioreactor to a larger one. The SW uses active reinforcement learning and small data AI approach with an iterative methodology for finding the optimal machine and mixture parameters rapidly and with fewer tries. We are building the graphical user interface with an ease-of-use in mind in order to make it as simple as possible and decrease the on-boarding time, so that no second is lost.
The solution will directly benefit COVID19 patients and general public, as it will make the infection rate more manageable sooner. We intend to provide both the software and our human resources for FREE OF CHARGE to any lab, biotech startup, production, scaling and biopharma company in the world to use it for COVID19 related development. We already have a working prototype ready, the MVP should be done by the end of April, and by the end of May first pilot customers will be using it.
Challenges we ran into
Accessing research data sets to test our algorithm on
Very few people actually know what we are talking about - very obscure and industry specific problem, yet a topical one
Hard to validate our business and market assumptions in a quarantined world
No vaccine production labs in the local vicinity
Hard to access key people in the industry
Challenging to communicate with people involved in the vaccine development now because of the emergency situation
## Accomplishments that we're proud of
Expanded our team with very highly skilled and rare competences
Got some recognition and collaborations
Are building a project that should contribute to getting out of the global lockdown sooner
## What we learned
To harness the full power of mentoring sessions
To work on communicating our idea with a lesser degree of complexity so that a wider audience understands the gist
The financial resources are there, just have to work a bit harder to get them
Use the situation to attract the talented people sitting at home

1) Running lab tests with the Institute of Microbiology of University of Latvia
2) Delivering the MVP
3) Piloting with customers
4) Rolling out the full functionality product

Inspiration
The government is taking steps to open back the economy in a phased fashion. This means the deployment of an app that can pinpoint the spread of infection and the identification of hotspots. It is important both from the health perspective and from public confidence to ensure safety. Think of Dettol, the reason why it is the leading antibacterial solution in the world is because the consumers associate the smell with cleanliness. Now imagine a world where every area that is suspected gives the smell of safety.
What it does
The idea is to integrate our software with any tracking solution that is deployed. This will then send a command which deploys our drones equipped with a tank containing a disinfectant that can be sprayed over the area. The area can then be marked as safe.
How I built it
We have repurpose a lot of these components from the agricultural and auto sectors to scale the solution.
Challenges I ran into
Main challenge is that the ideading to the current stage is while the india is in lockdown. This make sourcing of hardware and connecting the team together very difficult.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Recently we presented our working concept of the UI in the hackthecrisis in india event, which is still underdevelopment. but being out there are trying to work towards the strict timeline was quite an experience. We consider being able to get shortlisted into the event as an accomplishment.
What I learned
We learned a lot of new technique and figured out ways to work together more efficiently when we are all in different place. We also learned that many people are ready to work hard day and night to win this event and bring their ideas into the real world application.

WHY COVID-19?
We've been working with Heart Rate Variability ("HRV") data for years now with our Healthzilla app. Our anecdotal evidence from our own R&D and limited data from users has given us the following hypothesis: acute changes in HRV can precede illness or injury. This has been clinically validated for acute infections such as sepsis, in clinical environments, up to 35 hours in advance of symptom onset. It has NOT been clinically validated for flu or influenza or COVID-19.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM STATEMENT?
One of the unique and terrible features of this virus is the delayed onset of symptoms combined with a high viral count. In effect, asymptomatic but infected people can spread the virus multiplying the known R0 growth factor of around 2.5 cases per infection. A single known case in South Korea is the vector for 1,000 new infections.
HOW CAN WE HELP?
The case for acute HRV in the presence of infection is strong enough to form a hypothesis: measuring daily resting HRV can be used as an early warning signal for COVID-19 infection before a rise in temperature or coughing is present. If your HRV shows an acute change, stay home! The risk of false positives is low, and the possibility of false negatives in the presence of symptoms improbable, due to the acute nature of the HRV change we simply require 1-day of prior measurement to gauge this change. This empowers individuals with a datapoint beyond temperature, and the possibility of early warning to limit spreading the infection.
WHAT DO WE HAVE?
We have a FREE app for iOS and Android live globally that can measure HRV using any smartphone camera. There are several paid apps out there, but none that offer this analysis in addition to raw data. Our proprietary Stress Score picks up acute changes in HRV among other metrics. We already also read HRV from wearables like the Apple Watch and Oura Ring.
WHAT DO WE NEED?
Financing and partners to develop, validate, and distribute these technologies in rapid manner ideally at low/no cost to those who need it.
1) Existing app: Ability for users to tag their HRV data with symptoms and declare they are unwell, and the app will instruct to self-isolate. This data will help gather a labeled dataset for better predictive models specific to COVID-19.
2) Integrating these technologies into existing partner apps, which might include govt, health, or insurance apps to provide similar features for data gathering, remote monitoring, and analysis.
3) Quickly develop and launch a dashboard for government and corporate use, allowing to track users of the above app(s) in real-time, flagging users with acute HRV changes. This can be used to enforce remote work especially in industries with high human exposure like airlines and military applications. We already have a prototype of the dashboard.
4) The aggregated user-reported symptoms data can also be used to create a heat map for public use, in conjunction with city block level location based on IP address.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/anscer-uv-disinfectant-robot | ANSCER UV Autonomous Disinfection Robot - UV Lamps mounted on Robots are used for disinfection of hospital rooms/ wards.
Inspiration - Problem:
HAI - Hospital Acquired Infections are a major cause of infectious diseases among patient who rely on Intensive Care. Passages, Waiting rooms, Halls are also hosts for suspended microbes. Cleaning a room that has housed a patient suffering from contagious infection takes time, processes like fumigation take at least 24 - 48 hours. There are high chances of certain areas left uncleaned/ infected. Requires supervision and expert hands. Also it is Labour intensive.
UV Light can do this in lesser time. But exposure is harmful. So low intensity lights are used currently, which takes time.
What it does:
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation(UVGI) is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet(UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acid and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions. UV-C Lamps will be mounted on a moveable platform - ROBOT. The robot will also have a both autonomous and manual control mode with necessary camera for feedback. This robot will navigate in areas/ room that require disinfection. In the present scenario, a robot is required is because the high intensity of UV is harmful to human beings if present.
How we built it
We've been building mobile robots for some time now. When we heard about the problem being faced in hospitals, rooms which take time to prepare for the next patient, we realised our existing platform can be converted to do this job. We've now sourced our UV Lamps and done the mounting on the robot. Our algorithms are now ensuring the robots move to every part of the room, stay for sometime and disinfect the space.
Challenges we ran into
Sourcing components since it is lockdown mode, we are facing problems in sourcing components. Working from remote location is a challenge since it is a hardware project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Amidst all these issues, we have been successful in putting together our robot and get it to work. We have considered our home as hospital wards and simulated the environment.
We won second place at hackthecrisis India edition of the Hackathon.
We have a lot of enquiries and support from all around.
What we learned
No matter how hard it is, solving a bigger problem is better than whining.
Like all tough times don't last, this too shall pass.
With commitment, dedication and focus, if we work together we will be able to achieve anything.
What's next for ANSCER Autonomous UV Disinfectant Robot
Our two robots will be ready by the end of this Hackathon. with full features. We would like to prototype first production ready design. conduct demos for hospitals, government and authorities. We would like to see the project finding the light of the day soon.

When infected with COVID-19, in most serious cases hospitalization and lung ventilation are needed. From statistics, up to 20% of cases develop into quite severe pneumonia putting patients in critical care where 24/7 ventilation is necessary. Even in developed countries with advanced healthcare systems, they are lacking lung ventilation devices in necessary quantities.
What it does
It gives the patients the chance to breathe during the hospitalization period. Providing sustainable breathing with the right amount of volume and pressure. Adjusting to individuals which reduces potential lung damage during artificial ventilation. Rehabilitating patients from COVID-19.

As a curse of digital evolution, the word today is plagued with misinformation with malafide intent. Technology has the potential to help government/authority to manage an avalanche of false information including social media and various websites. In case of pandemic, this type of false information can increase the stress of the population further.
Twitter is a very powerful social media, which needs be used for close monitoring for false information spread and understand the emotional health of our population.
What it does
We propose a novel solution to build a live dashboard tracker based on twitter post, that will provide the authority with real time tracking of COVID-19 related false claim based on twitter post – fact/number, artificially generated text, and also monitor the emotional health analysis.
All types of analytics will be stored in database alongside further information such as date, region, source etc. The solution architecture will be a generic one to be used further for other pandemic situation.

I had seen a man who is struggling to feed his four children, it was near my locality. He has no house, his wife is struggling with mental illness and his children haven't eaten for 2 days. I always imagine if I can write their need on a paper and given to someone so that he will get some help.Most of them are using feature phones and building app for them is not possible. Since in our society their are community kitchens and grocery packets are delivered in a daily basis, but people are not willing to share their daily needs.

Inspiration
In the last few years I have spent a lot of time in the compony of volunteers and activists that tirelessly work for their version of a better, more compassionate, more equal and more sustainable world. Often young and full of energy and integrity it gave me, being of a generation or two older, a lot of hope for the future. I did, however, also see their struggles and a lot of burnout. It became clear that individual efforts though incredibly valuable locally did little to change the underlying structure causing the issue in the first place. This became the inspiration to build a better operating system for human civilisation and our custodianship of the planet. A crazy dream to be sure, but inspiring. Because if you are not going to save the world, why bother getting up in the morning?
What it does
Crowdpol is a social platform that provides tools for changemakers, from crowdsourcing ideas to crowdfunding projects, so you can be exponentially more effective at making change. Through Crowdpol you will be able to create a profile, list your interests and values, add the skills you want to share and the geographical locations you can do this, so that others can find you and you can find them. Unlike other social platforms, Crowdpol does not spy on you, sell your data or have third-party advertising. We are open source, transparent and funded by our members. We hope you’ll want to become one of us.
How I built it
We (i.e. mainly Brett our lead developer) built the platform on MongoDB and Meteor going through a few iterations, user tests and considerable scope creep arriving at the design we now have.
Challenges I ran into
Personally, I had zero experience in programming and very little in project management, so the entire process has been a challenge with plenty of mistakes along the way. Leaving the backend an issues such as data privacy and integrity of online voting aside, there are almost endless challenges to resolve. How do we create an inclusive online democracy that can inform issues from the local level all the way up to the global arena? How do we decide which are the biggest challenges we face and how do we decide on which solutions we should explore? How do we finance global solutions to global issues? How do we join forces locally to work towards common global goals and how do we measure this local impact on the global scale? How do we keep this platform open and free to use without advertising or monetising our users data? How do we support individual changemakers? How do navigate from the local to global scale and back and how do we visualise relevant data in the system? How do we give users control over their data, feed and user experience in a clear and accessible way with the best possible of signal to noise ratio?
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm very proud of the interface we have developed and the overall structure of the system. There are loads of issues still to resolve, but by and large I think we have a really workable product, or will have as soon as the kinks are worked out of it. I think we have a viable contender for a global governance system managed from the ground up.
What I learned
That software projects are infinitely more complex than I had imagined, almost as hard as creating a new operating system for human civilisation. Maybe even a bit harder... ;)
What's next for Crowdpol - Tools for Changemakers
Crowdpol aims to be an integrated platform that engages civil society, allowing individuals and organisations to coordinate actions and tasks, gather information and upload it without delays so the situation can be monitored in real time. Resources in the form of volunteers with defined and verified skill sets as well as physical resources tagged on a map would be useful. A visual interface based on maps and relevant icons/images would be a lot easier to navigate than continuous streams of text in different channels. An improved method to handle and represent the flow of information is crucial. Reliable means to protect the privacy of individuals and their information needs also to be built into such a system. This would put civil society in a much more powerful position, allowing for bottom up, community supported solutions rather than top down, authoritarian ones. It could force the government into co-designing actions with local communities. With ground up feedback decisions can be made effectively locally and supported centrally, instead of dictated centrally.

Solution for small businesses to sell their products despite restrictions of the Corona crisis.
The Corona pandemic is a big challenge for the whole world. Besides the obvious health effects, it affects the economy a lot. Especially the small and medium sized businesses suffer a lot. Their stores must be closed. They have no online presentation of their products. They have no tools to organize a pick-up or delivery service.
Often businesses are allowed to operate when social distancing can be implemented. Long cues in front of the stores are problematic. A solution could be to have an easy booking system where a customer can select a product and book an appointment when to pick it up. No other customer can book an appointment at that time. Social distancing is ensured.
To see which products a shop has, an easy way to present the products or the product range must be found. A booking service must be implemented.
This could also be used to order products for delivery. Locally! Not in the sense of a classic web-shop, where dealers suffer from a global comparison of prices. On this platform, a customer buys locally, decides WHERE he wants to buy WHAT from WHICH shop.
This could help small businesses also beyond the Corona crises to digitize their offer and strengthen their local business.
How I built it: I have no idea, but I am sure you have loads of ideas how to build it
Challenges I ran into: Local shops are often not used to use computer/online technologies, are short in time, and afraid of the global price war on online platforms.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of: Not much accomplished so far. Talked to several local businesses, got lots of information about their thoughts, fears, existing solutions. A clear concept for a MVP exists. Also a perspective how to further develop the service.
What I learned: You can't force someone to use technology, but there are enough out there who would use it.
What's next for Web service to help local shops in the crisis and beyond: Somebody has to develop the web service.

Inspiration
The economic downturn caused by the coronavirus has had a strong impact on the restaurant sector, with a large number of food service providers forced to close their doors.
Some restaurants in different countries have been able to continue to operate through large courier services, but mostly this comes also with hefty commission fees, which is not affordable at this time. Also the mainstream delivery services do not deliver to smaller towns or more remote areas, which is not the best solutions at this current time.
It is
important
for us that all food providing establishments can continue to operate during these difficult times without paying excessive fees for the delivery services.
That is why we created an online platform
NosiFood
, that makes it easier for cafes and restaurants to take & process orders through a simple online platform, allowing them to operate & provide contact free food services, with deliveries organised within their own staff resources.
What it does
For restaurants
NosiFood
platform allows restaurants to stay in business & operate online, without having to waste time on setting up their online service system, but to set up their account and restaurant on NosiFood platform. They can also add the link to the ordering system to their own homepages and share the online restaurant delivery service through social media.
NosiFood
platform aims to keep as many restaurants & cafes in business as possible.
We will also provide the platform with online marketing services, so the word spreads and NosiFood is easy to find, benefiting the restaurants to be all listed in one place.
NosiFood is here to stay.
We are not only built for the crisis, but here to change how restaurants & cafes operate their takeaway services online & in their communities.
For foodies
NosiFood platform will be a place, where clients can easily find restaurants to order from in their region, compare menus, prices and delivery methods.
We will gather and display restaurants in our page, create searches, special offer sections etc.
Marketing campaigns will also be running to attract customers to the sites to order from their favourite restaurants.
How we built it
The platform has been built from ground up using PHP and MySQL.
Challenges we ran into
We want to grow globally and fast. We see we have a very good solution & platform, which restaurants need, specially in these times. We need to refine the best model to grow and scale fast, so we can help as many restaurant industry establishments as possible now.
Accomplishments that we are proud of
Great core team; Having NosiFood site launched only in 1 week; acquiring first customers in Estonia, who also already operate through our platform; lots of valuable feedback to continue developing & growing.
What we've learned
That restaurants really need this platform.
What's next for NosiFood
Setting up the platforms client view site. Going global. Adding additional functionalities (charity, car rental support, etc).

I saw that people can't find services to cover their needs in lock-down mode.
Many people have never used online shops, delivery apps. They even don't know where to look.
Google is not always a solution. It takes time find and filter something suitable to solve problem.
What it does
Solution is collecting recommendations from other users and will show it aggregated with all related information to communicate with service and/or even buy something.
Also in future it will allow businesses to get recommendations how to transfer business to online: tools, instruments, services, etc. For example payment providers, delivery companies, recruiting companies and so on.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/vardoptimeraren | The problem
The problem we want to solve is one of the most important challenges we face right
now, namely: How can we collaborate across countries and regions to ensure that all hospitals have access to an adequate amount of equipment and resources? Given the progress of covid-19 globally, we can expect more regional resource shortages to come. Hence, we have focused on the capacity of ICUs for different regions and countries.
Our solution
Co-vidia is a two-pronged approach for ensuring that COVID-19 patients have access to the healthcare they need in a certain region or country. By first applying machine learning to forecast the future demand ICU beds in each region, we can see where to expect shortages. We then apply mathematical decision optimization techniques to suggest the optimal way to move patients between regions in order to avoid local shortages. The result can be consumed in an interactive website where the user can choose what countries to optimize for and also the trade-off between parameters.
Technology
The solution is a web-app developed with open-source tools in Python containerized in Docker and deployed on Microsoft Azure. For machine learning predictions, we used the XGBoost library, for optimization we used PuLP, for the webserver, we used Dash and the graphs were made in Plotly. All tools are open-source.
Development during this Hackaton
Before this hackaton, we had mostly data for Sweden and Spain and the optimization were done only for one country. During this hackaton, the following features were added:
Made the solution independent of country
Found and added data for Italy, France, Belgium and Switzerland
Created automatic data pipelines for fetching new data
Created machine learning pipelines for creating new forecasts
Refactored the solution to use pre-calculated results instead of doing them live, for speed and stability
Improved the UX and layout of the web-app
Made the web-app responsive so it also works on mobile
The solution’s impact to the crisis
Different regions are hit by Covid-19 at different times and to varying degrees. The surges are often rapid and intensive, causing regional healthcare systems to break down and patients to die due to lack of ICU-beds and ventilators. At the same time, neighboring regions may not yet be as badly hit and may have surplus of healthcare capacity. Some countries, such as France have already started reallocating patients from more to less affected regions in order to provide them with adequate care. In doing this, they face two challenges:
The uncertainty about the future– If they decide how the patients should be transferred given the current capacity and allocation of the healthcare system, the targeted ICU-beds may already be occupied upon arrival some days later.
The complex logistic optimization problem– there are infinitely many possible ways to reallocate patients between different regions. Often, several factors needs to be accounted for. For instance, there is a trade-off between moving patients long distances (in which case they may worsen during transportation), and achieving completely level capacity surplus in the healthcare system. Finding the optimal solution to complex, multivariate problems such as this is outside the capacity of any individuals.
Co-vidia is a datadriven and scalable approach to tackle these problems.
The necessities in order to continue the project
The main concern is the availability of data, we had to do some assumptions to get the correct data today for some countries. We also wanted to add e.g. Germany, but historical data was not available. Co-vidia needs three categories of data to work:
Data about historical covid-19 trends – e.g. the number of covid-19 patients needing ICU treatment in each region.
Data about resource availability - e.g. the amount of available ICU beds per region.
Data about the region, like population density and average age.
Except for access to good data, the most important factor for the project to continue would be feedback from some authority that want and need the solution.
The value of your solution(s) after the crisis
As said earlier, the solution is scalable to whatever type of region or resource allocation problem. While Co-vidia was initially built for the problem of optimizing patient reallocations, the optimization objective could be changed without difficulty. Resource allocation problems share a common structure, and as long as the data requirements are met, the platform could be used for moving capacity (e.g. doctors and equipment) instead of patients. While the optimization is currently done on a regional level, it could be changed to an intraregional level (e.g. moving patients between areas or hospitals within a region).
What's next for Co-vidia?
Our team works as Data Science consultants in a company called Advectas, recently aquired by Capgemini (which has hundreds of Data Scientists in Europe). As Capgemini has a large network with the public sector all over Europe, we are trying to get in touch with relevant stakeholders to show our solution and support them with datadriven insights in their time of need.

PIVA.io – Personal InnoVenture Assistant
Brief Description:
It takes 3000 ideas & managing thousands of moving parts to yield a successful, innovative, commercial product. In the on-going Covid19 pandemic & following 18 months of post pandemic era, the world will be exposed to unprecedented number of problems across industries that need to be solved. But most of the solutions to these problems will die a premature death owing to high cost of R&D, lack of accurate & scientific information + insights, hassles & ignorance around intellectual property rights and limited access to channels for monetizing an innovation.
PIVA.io - your Personal InnoVenture Assistant, aims to address these inefficiencies in the Innovation to Monetization lifecycle. PIVA.io is an interconnected suite of four products, which will truly democratize knowledge discovery, innovation & IPR. We aim to make IP driven innovation so easy, affordable and fun that anybody can innovate & monetize on a problem.
Background
What we are witnessing is history in making. In the post pandemic era, the world will surely be paying huge economic costs. Multiple reports from entities like IMF, World Bank, and other giant financial brains of the world, suggest a depression beyond that of 1930 & 2008-09. Where millions will lose their jobs, companies will be forced to shut down & traditional ways of doing businesses will be out-dated. In addition to this, the entire world is witnessing a behavioural shift which is unprecedented in magnitude & nature.
The writing on the wall is crystal clear. The world will have to reinvent itself, rebuild itself.
And the burden of this is always carried by the innovators of the world. Where we have to go back to the drawing boards, reimagine each and every system, identify the inefficiencies, solve the challenges, and invent new ways of doing business. Which are faster, better and cheaper.
Problem:
To re-imagine the entire Innovation to Monetization ecosystem & to make it ready for tomorrow’s needs, we need to address following challenges:
1. Unemployment
- Highly qualified information professionals and analysts, whose knowledge and skills can be leveraged to identify critical answers for innovators, will be either out of jobs or looking for better ways to contribute. There has to be a common platform to share on demand research
2. Self-employment / Entrepreneurship
– Individuals will have no choice but to choose an alternate career path of Innopreneurship, as millions will lose their jobs & fresh graduates may not find a suitable job. There has to be a system to make their Innopreneurship journey hassle free
3. Research
– Innovators will need a platform, to quickly find accurate, scientific & reliable data + insights to accelerate decision making.
4. Product Development
- Finding right problems & stakeholders who are critical for accelerating the journey from concept design to market ready product in a massively unorganized ecosystem.
5. Go to Market & Monetization
– Alternate ways of commercializing an innovation by finding right investors, customers, acquirers or licensors for technologies developed
6. Intellectual Property
– In a bid to solve the problems as early as possible, it would be a blunder to not protect the technology you build. The cost & hassle of protecting your IPR can be substantially reduced by automating low & medium cognitive tasks using AI powered bots and leveraging expert brains from across the globe
Solution:
PIVA.IO is an interconnected suite of platforms to enable the journey of the innovator from Creation to Commercialisation. Currently, innovators can leverage:
1. PatBnB (MVP Live) (
www.patbnb.com
)
– PatBnB™ is your virtual Research & IP assistant, to crowd-source
challenges or outsource projects to 1000s of expert IPR/Information Professionals & Innovation Catalysts

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/door-to-door-microlearning | Hi everybody.
Context:
As many countries, in Ecuador, we are facing Covid-19. We are a small developing country with huge differences in our education system. Those differences are tied to geographical location, demographical context, economic status, cultural influence, among others. Some specific problems involve teachers who don`t have specialized training on EduICT, parents who don't have time or even literacy to help their children, lack of internet access and computers/laptop/tablet/cellphone for each family user or family, low access to radio and tv frequency and equipment in some regions.
Now, there is no other choice than to rethink education and move on to microlearning with a strong focus on entrepreneurship and innovation pedagogy. Also, it is time to apply omnichannel EduICT to reach those who have internet and equipment; those who have radio and tv; and, for the rest of them, come backward to pen-and-paper to give personalized material and go door-to-door to those places without any other access.
As we are facing social distance, teachers are also heroes who need physical and biological protection to reach those vulnerable students. Students without education access and maybe suffering different kind of violence.
I am sure, we all know that we have the power to change the future. For this purpose, Sharing Education on a Collaborative Economy basis is a need to bring freedom and peace.
What's going on now?:
In Ecuador, we have two seasons, half of the country is trying to finish the school year with “on line classes” and the other half is supposed to start on may 4th. But, there is not internet neither devices for every student (from different ages) nor every teacher.
The solution:
Consequently, omnichannels should be applied to reach as many actors (teachers, parents and students) as possible; and, door-to-door for the rest.
On the other hand, something much more important is planning. Sometimes planning is more exhausting than teaching. Today, we can’t think that we are going to adapt the same curricula to “on line classes”. At this point, there is a need to rethink about the objectives and competences of every program. Moreover, we should be able to move on to microlearning.
One possible solution is to create a network to rethink the curricula and create micro content as fast as technology could help. Also, this network can offer teaching mentoring, device donation, and volunteer in distant communities to offer education door-to-door.
Replicability:
We are sure that this solution can be applied globally.
Request:
Support our idea, our team has years of research on Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Education and we will be very happy to contribute with a Collaborative & Sharing Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Education Framework.

Inspiration
Whether on a personal or on a professional level - social interaction has been the most damaged by COVID global crisis. We may say, we have "life before COVID" - and "life after COVID."
Think at the images which made you feel good, or what you used to dream:
Swimming in the Indonesian sunset
Kissing under the Tour Eiffel
Hiking on the Santiago path - or just:
Inviting a few friends over for dinner, sharing a meal and some wine.
Now think to all the scenes you've seen, or heard of during these times.
People volunteering to help and support, from US to Europe, to the most remote of places.
Digital Hackathons spreading from the Baltics to the global scale.
Musicians giving live concerts from their bedrooms.
Entire districts in home-isolation, singing together from their balcony to lift each other up.
What do all these stories have in common? _ Experience. A deeper human connection. Sharing. _
And either in the good or the hard times,
people always find a way to do just that.
That's what Intoo TV is about: creating and sharing experience, on demand. When is needed. When the COVID crisis keeps us isolated one from the other. To let Social Distancing feel us closer to each other.
What it does
In a nutshell
:
Intoo is a p2p live-streaming network to design, share and monetize real-life experiences.
Problems
:
General: many people (for life or health-conditions) cannot travel the places that they like, and/or experience something they would like to do.
_ COVID Crisis / Social Distancing / Isolation
: now people are stuck at home, and they cannot see anything around them, in other cities, or countries, and even basic daily-life actions, such as "gardening" "riding a bike" or "go to the market" are hard to do. Also, except for what the media (
filtered communication _) share with them, people have a hard time understanding what the situation is in other countries/cities, or even their own. This makes hard to discern reliable information.
Because of public health measures - performers, artists, Influencers, travelers, ..., had to cancel their tours and change their plans. These categories need a budget to keep sharing and producing their content, and their content has never been as valuable as it is during this global crisis. Surely for entertainment, but especially to keep and establish a genuine human bond, a connection.
Solutions
:
We make it easy for people in isolation to "design" an experience they want to live in first person, setting up the duration, the location, and the budget for it.
Performers, creators, artists, or just regular people can "browse" the open experiences, and "match" with them in a Tinder-like fashion, based on their interests and their skills.
If the Experience-creator likes their profile, "it's a match" - and the two parties can agree on a time and date for the experience to happen. In real-time broadcast.
After that, the viewer will rate the experience, and the broadcaster will receive the reward/budget set!
Values & USPs
:
Strictly one-to-one broadcast: an unfiltered, real-life experience, from a person to another.
Entirely customizable: the experience you want, with the duration, location, and budget you want. Realized specifically for you, in real-time.
Easy, and fun: just like selecting a tv series on Netflix.

There is no system available with the govt administration department like Police and District Magistrates to send notification to every resident of the city or a particular area. They have to rely on news media and by that time its too late. Also resident cannot ask for immediate help or send news of immediate happenings to concerned departments.
What it does
There will be a centralized platform where the residents and the administration departments can register for sending instant notifications.
A
mobile app
needs to installed which will provide interface for sending and receiving messages. Resident of the area will be automatically
get connected
to the concerned departments of the area they reside.
The department team will also have a mobile as well as web interface through which they can see the messages from their area and can send notifications to everyone in the areas within their control.
How we built it
It’s a concept built on the area of
Internet of Things(IOT)
where the people are connected using the internet of their mobile.
The underlying protocol used for communication is
MQTT
. Server side component will be a
(cluster of)MQTT broker(Mosquito)
and the client interface is
MQTT client in android or IOS
.
MQTT works efficiently in low bandwidth and is reliable and scalable.
Challenges we ran into
Testing the application with low bandwidth. It is difficult to test the "reconnect in low bandwidth" and "fast communication delivery".
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Its a platform that can help the people to save their lives.
A message can save life before it gets too late.
What we learned
A different view of applying IOT in real world. MQTT protocol is very valuable not given enough respect yet.
What's next for City-Alert
We are in process of developing the idea and will deliver a basic cut by 11th April.
Future enhancements will cover below features:
Support high load of connecting millions of people. Can be done by clustering of MQTT broker.
Will also add support of analyzing the sentiments in the messages by applying

During the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, our team recognizes that elementary school age children are experiencing social isolation due to the shift from traditional classroom education to pre-recorded task oriented homeschooling. Many older children are attending virtual classrooms by utilizing digital meetings that were primarily designed for business (google meeting, zoom etc.). These virtual forums lend themselves to controlled audiences. Younger children do not have the attention span or capacity to function in those settings. Teachers have been forced to prerecord lessons and assign tasks for elementary school aged children. The parents are now responsible for ensuring lessons are watched and all tasks are completed. While this is a huge problem, we feel that it is the younger children who are being robbed of social interaction that is so valuable for development in learning and society. In essence, young kids miss their friends and are yearning for interaction that helps them engage for their learning.
What it does
We are building an avatar based virtual classroom that allows younger children to participate in lessons as they are being taught. Many younger children are utilizing iPads/tablets in the classroom. We would like to build this as an app that has share screen blackboard functionality. We envision every student would create an avatar that sits in a classroom with the teacher at the virtual blackboard. Each child’s avatar would have the ability to raise their hands and go to the blackboard to speak, complete equations, or answer questions. The teacher would have microphone control during the lesson and decides who is speaking at each time. The teacher could also take control and project lessons full screen on the iPad/tablet during instruction and then back to the virtual avatar environment for interactive lessons. We feel that this classroom virtual environment would give young children benefit of a structured classroom and the opportunity to interact with their peers, thereby combatting social isolation.
How we built it
During the hackathon we refined our idea, branded our vision through animation and graphic design and built our prototype on an adobe click through dummy app. We are proud to present the creation of the HUZZAH Virtual Classroom - which allows students to choose an animal avatar that represents them in the classroom with the teacher at the virtual blackboard. Each child's avatar will have the ability to raise their hand and speak to the class when the teacher calls on them by passing microphone control to them. The teacher can also take control and project lessons full screen for teaching new material and then back to the virtual avatar environment for interactive lessons.
Challenges we ran into
We didn’t have anything ready before the hackathon. It was just an idea that we wanted to develop because we are experiencing the issue first hand with our own children at home. The hackathon provided a compressed timeline- which was a challenge. We had to prioritize what we could design and develop. From a design aesthetic, we were challenged to develop the classroom atmosphere that was engaging without being overwhelming or mirroring a video game.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud to have worked as a team to develop this idea from scratch. We sought the advice from teachers and they are very excited to use this product.
What we learned
What's next for HUZZAH Virtual Classoom
Once funded, we are planning to develop this as an Android and iOS App with a website portal for teachers. Students will have the ability to log into different classrooms for speciality lessons (Art, Music etc). We envision customizable classroom sizes and more avatar options as well as engaging animation and sound effects. This will include 2-way Black Board writing functionality, allowing students to write answers to questions on the blackboard. We want to develop the teacher website to include participation tracking/statistics for each student. Parents will also have an app login so they will have the ability to see their child’s progress and development.
We are confident that the development plans and beta testing (in schools) are possible, as long as we get funding for coding.

History Repeating.
Why do we constantly need to reach rock bottom to realize we need to change things? Is it our comfort in the current situation and fear for change? Are we afraid to take responsibility for making a wrong decision? As individuals, have we become victims of an illusionary truth effect by uncontrolled and biased information?
As technology reaches science fiction levels, we are constantly brought back to problems that cannot be fought with these tools. This is when we start realizing that the problems are deep rooted within us. During time of uncertainty we seem to lack core human aspects: transparency, coordination, planning, empathy, loyalty and cohesion. Many of these don’t require highly advanced technological (Sci-Fi) solutions but common goals. When each country has a different agenda there cannot be any real globalization.
Globalization envisioned not simply put as free trade and cultural diversity, globalization as a goal to reach global prosperity and safety.
Boundaries and borders don’t mean a thing in 2020 as we witness the speed of how a global pandemic can reach any corner of the globe at speeds never thought of. The barriers only remain in our minds. Let’s break these walls together so that we can overcome obstacles in a cooperative unison. You can be part of a country or state but let’s remember we are all part of the same earth.
What we'll do
Our organization will validate strategic data and information coming from all over the world creating a unique database of relatable information
How we'll built it
We will set-up a website, recruit passionate and credible professionals to build the decentralized and supra-national system and build up the most reliable databank alongside the introduction of machine learning protocols for group think decision making
Challenges we will run into
Reaching visibility and gaining credibility will be the biggest challenge. Submitting the project to the European Commission, or getting some governmental and/or non-governmental endorsements seems to be the best way to realize our vision

We want to contribute to social good by helping raise funds for worthwhile social causes, at the same time, tapping into millenials' desire for social relevance.
What it does
This platform aims to promote a culture of giving among millennials by allowing them to earn donation credits for their chosen causes through our exclusive donation + discount coupon and in-app activities.
How I built it
We developed a prototype using Adobe XD
Challenges I ran into
We have limited technical background and resources
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We've developed our prototype and have done some user interviews
What I learned
That people have different reasons for giving. Also, we've learned from the recent calamity in the Philippines and now the global pandemic that there is a need for a platform to systematize giving for disaster response.
What's next for Givest
We are now developing a web version of the platform first so that we can launch and contribute to the current fundraising efforts for Filipino frontliners and poor families.

The time when the pandemic was coming around to the US, it secretly instilled some kind of panic that it is going to get worse. All of us had no means to find out but to surf the web. Everyone started spending enormous time on the web to analyse the news in thier own way. I myself was in that place. Constantly looking at the numbers, trying to read in between the line.
What it does
Brings the crux of all of the COVID-19 it to people. Just what they need. Nothing more. Enough to put off anxiety. This is more than necessary to make people look at the bright side of things and create a meaningful life, achieving things they never thought they had the time to do.
How I built it
Using ReactJS, NODE as a back end. Pulling the news from outlets like NewYork Times and Guardian. Proving more people specific updates from Twitter and Reddit.
Challenges I ran into

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/pharm-public-health-agency-resource-management | Inspiration
We are currently seeing the devastating effects of poor resource management, and people acting irrationally in stressful situations. We want to help public health authorities to better manage the resources needed in a crisis situation.
The inspiration for this project comes from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, who posed the following challenges:
How Public Health Agencies can manage the outbreak more efficiently?
How can we reduce the burden on health care?
How can we focus the resources to achieve the best outcome?
How can we target the control measures?
What it does
PHARM is used by those in charge of distributing resources like masks, gloves, respirators, etc. The web app can only be viewed by distributors/managers and administrators.
After login, the user will see an overview of the resources, sorted by risk factor. When you select a resource, an overview of all public health agencies in need of this resource will appear, also based on risk. They can make contact via call, email or Whatsapp to confirm the need for resources. Once the resources have been planned for distribution, the distributors mark the agency as "Managed", which will drop it to the bottom of the list. Once the database is reflecting the replenished resources, the agency will disappear from the list.
Both overview feature graphs, illustrating the overall risk. This enables distributors/managers, to distribute resources where it is needed the most and can effectively "flatten the curve" of the resource mismanagement happening today. Since the app is sorting resources and recipients by risk, the best option will always appear as the first one, making it very easy to make data-driven decisions.
Since we are using Glide, we use a Google spreadsheet as the backend for our demo and the administrator can choose to work in the app or in the spreadsheet - whatever they are more comfortable with! We are considering adding Google Maps, so distributors can navigate directly to the health agency.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to adhere to social distancing rules even when in nature. The current situation has forced even the most indoor loving people to discover the great outdoors. Through this a problem has arisen. Firstly, there is nowhere to get the information about real time population densities in popular hiking tracks, beaches or any kind of natural locations. Furthermore, nowadays’ sedentary lifestyle has led to people not knowing where to go in the first place.
What it does
A mobile platform that tracks your and other users’ movement, and through that helps you avoid overpopulated areas and plan your outdoor activities. The platform will also entail more beneficial information, like maps of possible trails, weather forecast, and feedback and content created by other users.
Target
Private clients and public offices. Since going to nature has become almost the only option to get out of one’s house there is a great increase in people looking for safe and reliable information about traveling outdoors. Also it is in all of our governments interests, that enables and ensures social distancing for it’s citizens.
Solution
A mobile platform that tracks your and other users’ movement, and through that helps you avoid overpopulated areas and plan your outdoor activities. The platform will also entail more beneficial information, like maps of possible trails, weather forecast, and feedback and content created by other users.
Benefit: And easy to use platform to help people go enjoy the outdoors safely and with all the prior information needed. For a world without the current crisis, the platform would be used by people wishing to find new locations to discover and get comprehensive information about them.
