9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/wesportive | WeSportive is a social enterprise and our mission is to create a global school that delivers the new generation sports trainings for all ages.
Inspiration
Due to Covid-19 worldwide; As a result of the closure of sports facilities and schools, curfews and cancellation of sports leagues, the majority of individuals who do regular sports, amateur and professional athletes are unable to train.
This kind of initiative level is difficult and costly for a coach trying to develop online sport education and deliver e-training programs to the masses. Since most sports clubs and academies can not provide adequate digital infrastructure, smart coaching materials and tools, online sports trainings are not organized.
What it does
We offers an online sports coaching platform to help coaches and their athletes worldwide to online training.
WeSportive is a fully integrated online sports coaching platform that allows athletes and individuals of all ages to get training and the accredited coaches, managers and instructors to give training in any sports from anywhere in the world.
How we built it
Our strategy is to develop a fully integrated online sports coaching platform to cover the spectrum of tailored e-learning solutions and interactive portal, by providing free digital tools and smart coaching materials for sport staff members such as coaches, managers and instructors.
This innovative approach creates a whole new way to transform sports facilities to the smart sports facilities that will integrate with top sports clubs, organizations, sponsors and the most prestigious colleges and universities on the platform.
Challenges we ran into
WeSportive has a data verification infrastructure with artificial intelligence technology to enable real time identification, accredited, photo and video analysis against fraud in digital environment.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Supported by Turkish Youth and Sports Ministry.
What we learned
The action seeks to have social impact in two major fields:
Improving the knowledge and know-how of sport staff and athletes;
Developing international cooperation to provide solutions to the social problems of sport staff and athletes and to improve their well-being.
What's next for WeSportive
The expected outcomes are twofold:
Providing online sports trainings and smart facilities for sports staff and athletes;
Establishment of Europe network of sport staff and athletes
WeSportive is going to provide an ultimate connection plus growth to the life-changing opportunities through both dynamic online sports training courses and recreational events, by transforming sports facilities to smart sports facilities for over 5 million sport staff and athletes around Europe.

Conversations and trusting discussion rooms in which we feel perceived help to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness. The aim is not to set up a helpline or a psychotherapeutic hotline, but to inspire meaningful conversations and genuine, interested exchange among each other. In times of "Social Distancing" it is also necessary to create new meeting places for outgoing people, in which an exchange with new interlocutors is possible and new friendships can develop.
When did you last have a really good conversation? The
DosenTelefon
makes this possible.
How does the
DosenTelefon
work?
Interested parties registered on a
free
online platform are assigned to each other via chatroulette/random generator and have a conversation with each other. For this purpose, conversation starters/guidelines in the form of theme cards or mood decks (question catalogues sorted according to mood) are available. These support and structure the conversation. The suggested questions are based on previous psychological research results and models of conversation (e.g. by
Dr. Arthur Aron
,
Carousel conversation
). Thus, the suggested questions enable a discussion structure that inspires an intensive, meaningful exchange, even though one is (still) a stranger to each other.
At the end of the conversation, there is the possibility to make an appointment for a further conversation if so desired.
The application collects as little
personal data
as possible, so that only an e-mail address (for registration) and a user name are required.
A
Code of Conduct
regulates the cooperation and the basis of the joint discussions.
DosenTelefon
is not a psychotherapeutic hotline or telephone counselling service.
Innovation
DosenTelefon
continues in the tradition of familiar formats such as pen friendships/sponsorships, virtual topic forums and topic hotlines and takes the conversation among strangers as a model. The random generator plays with the idea of a telephone exchange from earlier times, the online platform enables the connection of content (question catalogue and suggestions) with the technology of telephony (classic conversation).
The biggest difference to classical social networks, however, is that there is no matching procedure according to interest-based algorithms (such as leisure activities, educational level or similar), but rather foreign interlocutors discover commonalities and empathy through the conversation structure and the questions. This enables social interaction outside the respective interest bubble and the integration and exchange of all age and interest groups. In this way, social cohesion can be strengthened in the long term.

Technical details and use of Open Source solutions
Structure
Webapp, authorization only via eMail (with magic link which represents the login)
Backend for user, deck, topic and session store (lambda & dynamoDB)
User selects topics that go or do not go
Next step is the "Lobby" (web socket connection is established)
Lobby matched new users with already waiting users to find matches
On match the audio call is started via openrainbow and decks / questions are displayed to both users
Technological components
Ionic as webapp (with the prospect to develop native apps later)
Web services / web sockets to AWS Lambda backed by DynamoDB & Simple Email Services & S3 (per serverless deployment)
OpenRainbow
for telephony
Scalability
Backend components (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, API Gateway) scale automatically, if necessary configurations / thresholds have to be improved, but no code / architecture changes are necessary
The static frontend code is in a S3 bucket, sufficient for use in Germany, if more regions are added a CDN might make sense.
OpenRainbow is responsible for the scaling of the audio calls
Code / Deployment
Open source (see github links), javascript / python / typescript.
Delivery via
serverless
stages dev/prod (could be automated later via github CI/CD)
Communication and dissemination
The aim is to make
DosenTelefon
known as a new possibility for inspiring conversations with a
random partner
. The solution focuses on people who quickly feel isolated and lonely and people who are open-minded and sociable, i.e. people who like to meet new people and like to get into conversation.
Future
users
can be single people, sociable people who like to meet new people, people who are not part of a direct contact group (family, shared flat, other communal living) and elderly people who live alone or are isolated from others (e.g. residents of nursing and old people's homes, people living alone). Participation is recommended from about 14 years of age due to the discussion guidelines. Due to this orientation,
DosenTelefon
is aimed at the majority of people living in Germany and in the long term multilingualism is also conceivable.
Branding
DosenTelefon
picks up a principle from childhood. We kept in touch with our friends via a homemade telephone line made from two old tin cans, even when we had to be home again or were not allowed to go out.
Now,
DosenTelefon
goes one step further and connects people from all over society for a conversation. In order to create a friendly and interested basis for a conversation among strangers,
DosenTelefon
offers conversation impulses with questions sorted by mood.
The logo of
DosenTelefon
graphically picks up on the tin can telephone of our childhood. A self-drawn comic style was deliberately chosen to convey this atmosphere and to support the playful lightness of starting a conversation.
Recommended marketing measures & budget
Known interlocutors
People in public life take part in the
DosenTelefon
: e.g. the Federal Chancellor, national football players*, musicians*, etc.
Google AdWords/SEO campaign
The slogan for
DosenTelefon
is developed from the highest ranked search terms regarding loneliness/conversation/antidote isolation, e.g. "Good conversations lead against loneliness" - link to registration platform
Partnerships with telephone providers/ customer mailings
On telephone bills, in customer newsletters
DosenTelefon
is advertised. Cooperation with telephone providers is recommended.
Radio spots/TV advertising
(Advertising in public spaces, possibly due to curfews, too little reach)
Mailing for old people's homes / information distribution via umbrella organisations
DosenTelefon_ is a free and non-profit application. Therefore, no income is generated that can refinance the implementation of marketing measures. Marketing measures can be refinanced through partnerships with telecommunications companies, advertising agencies (ProBono campaigns) or through public funding.
Challenges that still need to be solved
Enable barrier-free participation (integration of analogue telephony in developed platform), overcoming the on-/offline barrier of registration.
Idea especially for old people's homes:
a sponsored canned phone (smartphone with application), which can be borrowed to use the application.
intergenerational testing of the developed questions by peer group review
Expansion of data protection and data security of the collected data
permanent financing of the prototype
What's next?

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/gis-for-coronavirus-planning-and-response | Inspiration Provide and stop framework for public health professionals to access data and information for efficient and effective response to coronavirus in the City and Uganda in order to curb its spread and eliminate it and thereby saving lives. Provide authoritative information to the general public to guide, advice and help them in the best appropriate way in dealing with and response to coronavirus
What it does We respond to coronavirus using GIS in this 5 ways
Map Cases(active, deaths and recoveries, confirmed, hospitalised, ICU,Negative and unknown.
Map the spread to reveal the spread of infections over time so as to guide targeted interventions
Map Vulnerable Populations, identify who are at risk and where they are so as to responsed appropiately to their needs. We take into account (socio-economic status, age, health, lifestyle and population/housing density attributes)
Map our capacity to respond (Hospitals and their capacity with regards to health professionals and equipments, social distancing restrictions-schools closed, isolation centers,transit border points. Testing sites, social instituitons, ambulance location coverage etc.
Communicate using web maps, dashboards and story maps all integrated in a web hub
https://coronavirus-response-19-ctf-kcca-gisservices.hub.arcgis.com/
How we built it. We configured and deployed to speak to a local context a coronavirus response templated donated by ESRI disaster response program. Developed Kampala -Uganda Covid Dashboard, ambulance coverage app, medical facilities location app, non medical facilities location app. We integrate resources on covid-19 symptoms, frequently asked questions on coronavirus, advice on what to do to prevent oneself from acquiring coronavirus and what to do if one falls sick. We also incorporated in formation from the World Health Organisation and Ministry of Health Uganda. Twittter for the Kampala Capital City Council, Ministry of Health Uganda and World Health Organisation. Add you tube videos of the president address to the nations on action points in response to coronavirus, World Health Organisation Updates and local updates
Challenges we ran into The biggest challenge so far availability of data required to feed into the applications in order to provide most updated dashboards for decision makers to make quick and timely decisions in response to coronavirus
There is need to automate contact tracing so as to reduce contact between surveillance officers and contact persons isolated and monitored for 14 days. This poses a huge risk in spreading the coronavirus
Accomplishments that we're proud of, we have published the web hub on the Kampala Capital City Authority Website after presenting it to the Director Public Health and Environment. We have also published it on other social media channels and so far around 5,000 people have viewed and followed it.
We also made a presentation of it the Ministry of Health Uganda Emergency Operation Center who have requested for our technical support in implementing a similar solution for the country and we are currently working on this.
We also made a presentation of it to Bill and Melinda Org Asia who promised to link us up with other countries to provide a mobile solution for contact tracing and follow up.
What we learned We have learnt to work hard, sacrifice time, read widely and do our best to figure out solutions to address emerging challenges. We have also learnt that the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and persons technically skilled at it are critical for response to public health emergencies. We have learnt that working together with authoritative organisations and providing real-time and internet based information is very critical in response to emergencies
What's next for GIS FOR CORONAVIRUS PLANNING AND RESPONSE what we are planning is to document every step of response to coranvirus so as to learn lessons for future response to unprecedented emergencies and also inform formation of relevant public policy
We are also planning to conduct a number of assessments on the Uganda Economy and lives of people

The problem your project solves
There are going to be some memorable words that we will all remember from the COVID-19 pandemic such as community, social distancing and quarantine/self-isolation, lockdown. The pandemic has forced us to reimagine how we interact and how we communicate with each other. Over the past months we have witnessed how communities have come together to counteract the psychological impact of lockdown and earlier this year we saw communities sing across balconies, play music for all to enjoy from their balcony and we have seen a change in online activities, for example Italy, one of the countries hardest hit by COVID-19, saw a dramatic increase in its streaming audience. StreamElements tracked thousands of Italian streamers that work across Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and Mixer. In the month February there was a 66% increase of livestream views in Italy and Telecom Italia had a 70% increase in internet traffic which continued to grow compared with Sweden who saw traffic grow 2.7%.
Streaming is one of the most powerful ways to reach and interact with your audience, while respecting restrictions imposed by the pandemic. Some of the reasons streaming has become important during the pandemic are:
Reinventing TV: TV subscriptions have declined due to the shift in viewers’ behaviour and needs. Streaming allows viewers to control what they watch, when they watch it and on which device.
Interaction: Streaming allows instant feedback from viewers who can like streams or leave comments. The real-time interaction allows streamers and viewers to build online communities that you can continuously be associated with.
Humanity: During a crisis relationships and being in touch with people is important now more than ever and online streams allow communities to be built and businesses to continue by selling their solutions with more emotion towards the consumer or their community.
Economy: Streaming allows you generate business leads and followers which are good for the economy and is a cost-effective solution
Facilitating the control individuals have over their stream schedule means that sustainable development goals 2030 can also be met;
Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth: This is crucial during a pandemic where people are forced to work from home and without psychical interactions some industries will shrink;
Goal 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure: while manufacturing products during a pandemic may be limited online streaming maybe an alternative solution to reaching a wider audience
Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities: Increasing community access to information, activities and communication build communities by bringing them together.
The solution you bring to the table
Balcony is an online platform that easily personalised to the user who can control their streaming schedule by day, time and category. This will also contribute to the growth of online communities where streamers will have access to potentially new followers.
What you have done during this weekend?
This weekend we have focused on validating our solution and assessing it’s feasibility as the project continues. We have also mobilized our Italian network to use and pilot the platform so that we can improve the platforms capabilities and address any glitches or unforeseen circumstances. We also interviewed 20 mid-size influencers who were able to validate our solution outside of Italy of who are interested in collaborating with us by providing their live streaming schedule that we can integrate in Balcony.
We have been able to integrate an additional language feature so the platform is not only in Italian but also in English so that we can reach a universal audience.
Additionally, we took the chance of this hackathon to find a way to automatize the search and upload of live streamings events. Thanks to a native crawler we are now able to gather and post immediately on Balcony the most relevant live events that are planned on Youtube and we are looking forward to expanding this system to the other social media platforms.
The solution impact to the crisis?
Balcony enables users to access live streams that represent a crucial way of communication not only for influencers who were used to do them already, but also for all those people (e.g. fitness trainers, chefs, barmans, musicians, artists etc) who are not able to work during quarantine time and struggle to find new ways to continue their activities.
Balcony open up world of live streams for the user who is able to explore not just activities related to their own interests but also find new passions as well as streamers who are able to streamline and adapt their online presence based on their followers.
The necessities in order to continue the project
Build a standard platform (which we have achieved) and premium full stack platform that integrates automatic live streams based on interest, streamer – user (and viceversa)interaction, language and location capabilities so users can also personalise this to their geographic location etc
Access to networks which include influencers and companies
Strengthen our digital footprint so that we can continue to reach wider audiences
Create a financial stable model and option for companies to buy liscenes for example in order to be featured in the model, advertising etc.
The value of your solution after the crisis
No-one knows what life is going to be like after the crisis and while there may-be changes in lockdown measures that enable freedom of movement but the increase of online interaction will continue to increase. In-fact, 80% of consumers would like to watch a video rather than read something online, 82% of live streaming is expected to account internet traffic in 2020 where 39% are more likely to share content. The market size of live streaming events on social media will be a $70.5 billion industry by 2021.
Balcony will allow users to access content that correspond to their personalised responses, which will give them control on how they manage their time. Streamers will be able to plan their schedules based on user responses, interest etc. Balcony has also been designed to be used easily by disabled and vulnerable communities such as hard of hearing who can create vlogs or live streams about personal experiences during the pandemic. Companies will be able to advertise and reach audiences and followers.
Our aim is to build Balcony as a recognized and trusted platform which can be easily integrated into existing products such as webinars, podcasts and social media sites.

Humanity is the first species to change its own environment with conscious awareness.
This shift in perspective brought forward a new idea: Instead of being subject to natural forces, humanity is now a “world-changing force of nature”, but they can/must choose how they act.
What it does
Self-healing plant.
We use certain genes know as PGIP proteins to self-healing plant diseases caused by virus, slime molds, and bacteria affecting and destryoing plant
Terraforming.
The use of bacteria to reapir soil damges caused by chemical pesticides. When biologists encounter problems that cannot be solved in agriculture by currently available technologies, shared creativity between researchers drives the development of better and smarter tools.
Livestock
Thanks to genetic we programmed genetic modified bacteria by wich we restore in soils completely to be fertile. The diversity, modularity, and efficacy of CRISPR-Cas systems are driving a biotechnological revolution.
How I built it
It is a fusion molecule that comes from the combination of genes of plant origin, suitable for shield the vital organs from virus attack. We built it with new crispr-cas techniques.
Challenges I ran into
Our starting point was research into the functioning of a plant protein, a Super-Defense protein.
It’s a leucine-rich repeat protein involved in ambient defense: Polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP).
PGIP are structural plant cell wall components that belong to the superfamily of leucine-zipper protein.
These proteins protect plants from fungal, viral and bacterial invasion. The main challenge was to fuse this protein with other proteins.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We block some disease of plants that were affecting crops and agricolture economy in Italy. We helped farmers avoiding lose money in the long term.
What I learned
Agricolture is heading to a complete biologic system to produce with better quality and it is looking for a disruptive way to improve lives, safely, in respect with nature.
What's next for TerraForX Terraforming
Self-healing plant
We use certain genes know as PGIP proteins to self-healing plant diseases caused by virus, slime molds, and bacteria affecting and destryoing plants. The mechanism is to identfy membrane of exogen microorganism right on the plant surface. One the PGIP get in touch with harmful microrganism, PGIP start a violent oxide-reduction activities destroying microoganism and protecting cultivations without using harmful pesticides and without modifying the DNA of the plant itself.
Terraforming.
The use of bacteria to reapir soil damges caused by chemical pesticides. When biologists encounter problems that cannot be solved in agriculture by currently available technologies, shared creativity between researchers drives the development of better and smarter tools. New technologies, in turn, push the frontier of biology. We’ve change the microbioma of soil. The symbiosis In 50 year of large use of pesticides with plant and soil held in communication by bacteria is deeply changed or completely disrupted.
Livestock
Thanks to genetic we programmed genetic modified bacteria by wich we restore in soils completely to be fertile. The diversity, modularity, and efficacy of CRISPR-Cas systems are driving a biotechnological revolution. RNA-guided Cas enzymes have been adopted as tools to manipulate the genomes of cultured cells, animals, and plants, accelerating the pace offundamental research and enabling clinical and agricultural breakthroughs.

Going outside to buy something at these times can be very dangerous and exhausting because you don't know where to find to find things you need, and even if you knew, you wouldn't be sure if there will be a lot of people there.
What it does
We came with a solution for this problem. A platform that connects buyers with their closest stores and provides them with information regarding to a specific product they need for example in which supermarkets can you find it, how much of it is left in each supermarkets close to you and things like the price of the product. This will be all easily accessible just by picking a category and searching for the product the user needs. In the home page there will be a map that will show you all the supermarkets of your location or other locations you wish to look at. In this map you will be able to see the shortest path to the supermarket, how far is it and you can even click in the super market to see all the products they offer. In these times peoples safety is a priority! So, we created a very useful feature that lets the user know an estimated number of people and in which supermarket is the least amount and the most amount of people at the moment. All this will prevent pointless trips to the supermarkets where you want be able to find the product you need, this will slow down the spread of the virus because people will be more informed and of course this platform will make shopping more enjoyable buy knowing more about your local supermarkets and what they offer

Mapping the Results of EU-funded programs
The solidarity within the EU is critical to overcome the unprecedented challenges of the Covid-19 crisis. How does the EU help citizens and business to overcome the Covid-19 crisis? What EU programs & measures exist to support citizens in the areas of health services, job security, business support to SMEs and startups, social cohesion in local community and support to vulnerable groups, in particular the elderly?
How can EU citizens gain easy access up-to-date access to information and data on what EU-support programs? What programs exist in your town, city or region? How can citizens access the programs at the local level?
It is suggested to visualise the program data through an inter-active mapping tool, which allows citizens the easy access to a brief description, key data, including budget, main contact point and results from the project.
The platform would be based on an open data approach, making the underlying data openly and in machine-readable formats available to users. It would include an API and open data catalogue to enable programmers and user to re-use the project and geo-spatial data, analyse, process, and visualise the data on their own platforms.
It is also suggested to find solutions that enable to interconnect the project and program level data with geo-spatial data and more qualitative data, including hyper-local inter-active social media content, multi-media content (pictures, videos) and results stories from the projects.
The objective of the platform would be to enable user to access on a map the key project data of EC-financed project, obtain key background data, including the budget of the project, the main implementing organisation or grant recipient, the main contact person. The platform would also provide more qualitative data, including multi-media content (pictures of videos about the project), results stories, news stories about the project and content from social media (i.e. twitter, Instagram, linkedin).

IT IS JUST AN WORKING DEMONSTRATION OF MY IDEA TO TACKLE THE PROBLEM, IT CAN BE MADE AS PER THE DEMAND OF ANY ORGANISATION. AND THE BEST THING IT IS NOT A CONCEPTUAL IDEA IT IS TOTALLY A REALISTIC IDEA THAT CAN BE DEPLOYED AT ANY MOMENT ACCORDING TO THE DEMAND OF THE ORGANIZATION
Our Goal
General Perspective
Due to the situation of COVID-19 the work force of the world is decreasing(since everyone is maintaining self quarantine and social distancing ), which is creating a big havoc in the world, through this project of mine, I mainly target to tackle this problem and help the health organizations with a virtual workforce that runs 24*7 without any break, and handles all kind of mater, starting from guiding the people to fill up the forms to managing the data of the patients automatically and all-together.
Business Perspective(if required)
Bot service (it is not a company yet, I am just referring to the thing that we want to build or start this company, we are student developers right now) which adds a virtual work force to every client organisation to bloom in the market. In business perspective Our potential business targets are small business,NGO and health organisations and we help them to be free from human service cost and help them to grab more users by providing 24*7 interaction with there users, thus generating more revenue for them.
Inspiration
I really got inspired for making this advance A.I bot by seeing the current COVID-19 situations, because of these COVID-19 situations people are restricted from gathering hence work force and user interaction of various health organisation are diversely effected. Through this project I aimed to connect the health organizations with the patient anywhere in the world,using any platform(not limited by android, ios or Web). And also manage the data of the patients automatically thus reducing human effort and maintaining social distancing.
MADE THIS PROJECT TO BRING A CHANGE
.
How is our product different than others
1)
There are many types of A.I bots,where most of them are Decision tree based models that work with particular buttons only,our products will be totally based on NLP based models,which are more advanced and are in higher demands than others.
2)
Other service A.I bot service providers are confined to only 1 or 2 platforms, whereas we at the same time are providing advantage to the client to choose from a large scale of platforms like FB messenger, google assistant,slack,line,website bots and even in calls
3)
For the health organisations that are willing to buy our technology (We are also willing to donate this tech for free), from business perspective we will also be cheaper than our other competitors, when others are taking near about $3300/year for the service, we are doing it in $100-$1500 one-time fee range with more versatility.
It will totally be free for any user using it, no charges will be applicable for users
What it does
Our bot provides the power to every health organisation at such situations of COVID-19 by managing the screening,testing and quarantine data and also connecting the persons that are willing to do the test with the help of diversified digital platforms. In cases where internet is not working (where other bots won't function) still our bot works inside the phone number thus providing fruitful results in such situations.It basically covers all important aspects of an advanced A.I bot. It also connects the health organisations with volunteers that are willing to donate their time as helping hands in this hour of need.
How I built it
I built it using Google cloud A.I solutions, Google cloud Dialogflow framework(which includes automatic firebase integration) where I trained the bot with NLP with huge datasets from WHO and government and then integrated it with the Facebook messenger through Facebook Developer account. It is also supporting Phone call facility
Challenges I ran into
I had to go through many challenges, starting from being a solo developer, I really had to face a lot of problems as making such a complex app which all the advanced features as mentioned, all these things together cost me a lot of sleepless nights but i hope my hard-work pays off
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am really proud of the app that I made because it itself is a big milestone for a solo developer like me.
What I learned
I learned a lot of things through out this journey of developing this app, starting from advance use of Google cloud A.I solutions, Dialogflow and integrating it to Facebook messenger, making filters inside the chat-bot to enhance user experience etc.Connecting it with a phone number to receive phone calls etc.
What's next for Health Bot
If my work gets selected, then for sure I am going to work really hard to make Health Bot even bigger and to add more amazing functionalities to make my users happy.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/cov-id | To come back to work or to get access to services, people will need to be able to prove that they are recently negative or immune to the virus.
Our idea is to build a privacy ensuring way for the user to decide to release the test result digitally to their employer, service provider etc.
The COV-ID mobile app can be used by the user to get the test result from the healthcare provider as a Verifiable Credential (a cryptographic token over blockchain). The user can release test result as a Proof, which again can be cryptographically verified to be originated from a trusted healthcare provider.
The solution is built on top the Aries and Indy blockchain technologies and consist of a Verifiable Credentials mobile app, the Wallet, the Issuer and Consumer software that is used to release Verifiable Credentials (test results) and to verify them. The user's are identified and authenticated reliably when taking the app into use.
We would use the funding to build the app to be release ready.

Estonia is the education powerhouses of Europe, but the current situation has put an enormous burden on teachers, students as well as parents. Parents, who work full-time have to find time and knowledge to help their children study the compulsory curriculum. Students have to study alone or mostly rely on their parents. Teachers have to cope with technology and find ways to get all the necessary materials and assignments online.
We live in the world that is more connected than ever. So why not come up with a solution that would help teachers, students, parents and at the same time keep up the quality of our study programs. Edesta is just the solution we need!
What it does
Our unified study platform enables teachers to carry out online learning. Whether the platform is needed to support the everyday teaching for someone who’s sick or on a long vacation or needed for taking over teaching during national shutdowns. The platform brings together teachers and students as well as college students from universities to help school teachers or parents carry out the workload of advising students.

Artists, DJs and all the other performers are facing unexpected issues of COVID-19 with loss of income. Major artists have savings, which may help maintain their lives for a longer period of time. When it comes to smaller caliber artists - they struggle a lot. We believe that the donation system is out of date and we are revolutionizing the world of digital entertainment with Isonation - digital venue for entertainment people. This will help artists to generate some income at the time of crisis and will bring joy to the fans as artists and fans have never been closer to each other.
We recreate the rules of everyday lives. Digitally!
Isonation is an online stage for performers. What makes it unique is the fact that it makes life simple for them. Artists can start off a concert from their laptop or stream it with full production. We believe that the donation system is not as effective as the rough statistics show that only a minority of the fans are making donations in support. Our platform will enable to sell unique non-sharable tickets at a reasonable price to bring artists and fans together at the time of crisis and beyond it. Really easy-to-use platform, which is orientated towards artists in the first place. The uniqueness of this platform would be ticket validation, meaning no link sharing with friends. It is super easy to use and the fact that we are putting artists in priority should draw their attention.

Inspiration
My school (Gunn High School) used to use paper to manage their peer tutoring program. It was absolutely ridiculous! If you wanted a tutor, you used to have to physically walk across campus to the "Academic Center", fill out a paper application form, and then wait while the peer tutoring coordinator took that form, filed it into a huge binder of similar forms, and flipped through the "Tutor Binder" to find a tutor that fit within your criteria (i.e. a tutor who can tutor the subjects you want when you're available).
What it does
For an even briefer overview of our project, head over to
this form
. Or, continue reading for a slightly more in-depth description...
Now, Gunn (and all the other schools in PAUSD) use Tutorbook to manage it's peer tutoring program:
Peer tutors signup, create their profiles, respond to lesson requests, and track their service hours (usually the required-for-graduation service hours)
all
on Tutorbook.
Students can then search, message, and book those tutors--from anywhere, at anytime.
Supervisors (the people who used to flip through those binders) manage profiles, match students with tutors (if needed; most of the matching can be done by the students themselves), send lesson reminders, and approve/reject service hour requests.
Note that
each school gets it's own "web app" at a different
.tutorbook.app
subdomain (much like Slack workspaces) and you're only able to login to that school's web app (to view it's tutors and such) if you have the school's email address (e.g. to get into
Gunn's web app
you must login with an
@pausd.us
or
@pausd.org
email address).
Since COVID-19 closed Gunn, we've expanded the functionality of Tutorbook to enable peer tutors to log service hours from online (via any platform that their students and staff prefer) tutoring appointments:
Students log into Tutorbook’s web app like they normally would and clock-in to their peer tutoring sessions. When the clock-in, they’re given a prompt to upload proof of their tutoring session. Such proof could include:
a. Screenshots of their chat history on Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, or any other messaging platform.
b. Recordings of their online tutoring sessions on Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts, Whereby, or any other video conferencing app.
c. PDFs of what they worked on (e.g. a math problem set).
Or, students can log service hours
after
the lesson finished (without having to clock-in and clock-out) by uploading proof of their lesson (like above) and specifying how many service hours they're requesting.
How I built it
For very in-depth technical insights as to how Tutorbook works, check our
documentation
(automatically generated with
JSDocs 3
) or
source available code
. Or, continue reading for a brief, high-level overview...
Tutorbook was built using
Firebase
(for our back-end), HTML, SCSS, and Vanilla JavaScript (no front-end framework to be seen here haha). While I probably should have used
Vue
or
React
, I had originally created my own
rendering solution
and migrating the entire codebase over to a framework was
not
in the scope of this hackathon.
For this hackathon, I teamed up and worked on polishing out some scalability issues (e.g.
automatically creating school subdomains w/ AWS R53, CloudFront, and S3
,
adding an onboarding flow
, etc).
What I learned
I personally learned a lot about AWS (as it relates to wildcard (e.g.
*.tutorbook.app
) DNS records), scalability issues with Firebase, and how best to triage work with GitHub
Issues
,
Projects
, and
Milestones
.
What's next for Tutorbook
We're going to build a feature that enables schools to create landing pages for their virtual student support services (e.g. a page with a description of the school and a list of their peer tutors). Schools will then be able to send all of their students a link to this page (e.g.
gunn.tutorbook.app
for Gunn High School's landing page) where they (the students) will be able to see all of their school's virtual support services (e.g. through links on the page description) and peer tutors in a single place.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/remote-patient-monitoring-system-62i5mc | Remote patient monitoring system block diagram
Flowchart of the mobile application
Inspiration
We were inspired by the many projects around us, and we wanted to make a difference. As people who are also researching information about the virus on a daily basis, we wanted to create a platform that brings you all information you need, and allows anybody, anywhere make a difference.
Problem Statement
A potential challenge during the pandemic outbreak like COVID19 is overwhelmed hospitals. At present, the hospitals don’t have the capacity for large number of incoming patients. There is a need for a technology platform which is capable of remote-monitoring and allowing for the engagement of patients in their homes. The capabilities also facilitate communication between quarantined people and the healthcare service and maintain visibility of those recently discharged.
What it does
RPM will help to ease of access to patient data. It will help to deliver high quality care to the more patients. It will help to exposure to healthcare staff. RPM is a patient monitoring system. It collects the physiological signals of patients using biomedical sensors network and processes them so they can be interpreted easily by medical personnel. Unlike conventional patient monitoring, RPM is small, portable, battery operated, and based on wireless communication. Thus, our device could be useful in a Healthcare environment where the remote monitoring of patients is essential.
How we built it
The device hub include those that measure vital body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, SPO2 level in the blood. If the patient clinical situation deteriorates, the system, supported by health-workers oversight, can respond rapidly through central command center and decide if they need more intensive levels of medical care. At the same time, providers are at no risk of exposure to COVID-19 when they manage a patient remotely. It is highly important to preserve a healthy clinician workforce at any time and especially during a health crisis like COVID-19.
If small Patient Monitoring could be connected to a network wirelessly, patients would be able to move around freely while their physiological signals are monitored. Thus, medical personnel could be informed about a patient’s critical condition regardless of their whereabouts and they could be treated promptly if an emergency occurs. Furthermore, portable devices can be integrated into the Healthcare environment and used to develop novel applications. Thus, we will develop a portable embedded device that can monitor the condition of patients in real time using biomedical sensor network such as sensor is pulse oximeter (SPO2), thermometer, respiration, blood pressure (BP), and provide various physiological signals via wireless communication so that the physiological signals may be monitored remotely Based on the graphic display (android Smartphone) and web, using Web Server and Database subsystem we can take physiological signals data any where in the word at any time and this device detect emergencies and inform medical personnel when they occur. Thus, medical personnel could be informed about a patient’s critical condition regardless of their whereabouts and they could be treated promptly if an emergency occur
Challenges we ran into
In order for RPM devices to be successful, three things need to happen: 1) wearability, 2) data accuracy, and 3) data access4) how likable your product should look like as watch as symbol as teddybar as small drop of blood, aesthetics sells,
the technical part is ok it can be better, what it does how it does and medical data that should be read easily by medical stuff too further decrease the risk of prolonging some alarm sign like patient high blood pressure, blood sugar etc.(also a call centre and a back up team of ppl who can come before the medical staff to further shorten their burden)
5) how many of this devise you can produce how fast and what the SYSTEM is how many devices how they communicate the Tech service for sustainability or just go mass produce end they throw it when it is broke
Expected Result
RPM will help to ease of access to patient data. It will help to deliver high quality care to the more patients. It will help to exposure to healthcare staff. RPM is a patient monitoring system. It collects the physiological signals of patients using biomedical sensors network and processes them so they can be interpreted easily by medical personnel. Unlike conventional patient monitoring, RPM is small, portable, battery operated, and based on wireless communication. Thus, our device could be useful in a Healthcare environment where the remote monitoring of patients is essential.
What's next for Remote patient monitoring system
After the Hackathon, we will develop the idea further and standardize decisions regarding supply and distribution with the platform.
With adequate funding, we will launch this product within 5-6 weeks after the hackathon

The world's health system is evidently overwhelmed by the COVID-19 pandemic and our bit is to create a solution that takes a lot of pressure off the system and load-balances it across a number of medical experts, who have volunteered to help tackle this virus head-on.
What it does
COVID Reporter basically acts as a point-of-call for users, providing help and information on the virus. Users are taught and reminded measures on how to keep safe in this period. Also, there is provision for an health-check and an opportunity to speak with an actual expert medical personal, depending on the outcome of the health-check. A body of doctors, nurses and medical experts would be on hand to receive them via any communication means the user selects.
How we built it
A team of young engineers, with diverse background and passion, joined forces to create this solution. It is still being modified to meet more demands and surpass more challenges. A two- winged team, one arm was focused on working on the front-end while the other team concentrated on improving the logic at the back-end. Collaborating via the available communication channels (eg Zoom) ensured that we worked together to build components of this solution. On hand was a dedicated engineer to ensure that all the built parts are integrated into a single, whole system. To concretely assess progress levels, there were periodic review meetings, which held online.
Challenges we ran into
Challenges ranged from power availability, to internet data and of course, the inexplicable effect of the lock-down.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we are able to come up with a solution that will be provided in a number of local languages in Nigeria. In addition, it will provide basic, real-time information of COVID-19 and other diseases and/or viruses.
What we learned
We have learnt the importance of working together for a common purpose. This pandemic has expunged the idea that we are annexed from the world and has given us a call to seek the well being of everybody around us.
On the side, we are learning other skills (e.g communication) and technologies (e.g React js) to be able to achieve our goals.
What's next for Covid Reporter
For the near future, we are willing be implementing, modifying COVID Reporter to include a voice-enabled bot, and in various local Nigerian languages too. This way, communicating is made easy for every Nigerian, taking into account his/her preferred language/tribe and this would go a long way to seeing that such person receives adequate attention eventually.We are also implementing geo-location mapping to track the spread/reported cases of the virus and other diseases in the nation and local government areas. This will help awareness of individuals as regards diseases that are prevalent in their locality and how best to keep themselves safe. Although COVID Reporter is presently focused on COVID-19, we are expanding it to other diseases ravaging our community.
The future for COVID Reporter is evolving into a solution that can be utilised for health-related issues, especially in cases of pandemics (local and/or global) and create channels through which response and help can permeate the whole turbulence and reach the needy and helpless.

First thing after – is a communication campaign the ignites and sustain the desire to run for the re-opened service and cultural venues, straight after the quarantine ended. We want to lead the people and multiply the traffic to the small and cultural businesses as soon as it welcome possible.
The campaign gets started in Instagram with the challenge #firsthingafter, a bit of #36daysoftype idea and mechanics. This viral wave can roll over the ‘quarantine’ campaigns that build up the ethical and responsible behaviour patterns #dontshoptillyoudrop #covid19advert and others.
We build thematic series accordingly with the most desired and most suffering business.
What we need:
artists, designers and writers: your support with smart graphics and hashtags;
influencers: your public participation and support to deploy and ignite a wildfire;
tech builders and platforms: advice (and help) to assemble (or build) a booking aggregator to put together local businesses on demand; register smart mechanics incentives (member brings member etc); outsource for more people too serve the clients when demand grows high. And we believe, it will come.

The app is inspired by how Patreon can help monetize art, WebToon's way of using coins to abstract the spending of money (vs another subscription, and TikTok's infinite, addictive scroll.
The need is inspired by how Covid19 has enforced how artists are often the riskiest segment of the workforce, often choosing flexible jobs in order to pursue their passions. Since Covid19, there has also been an increase in creator activity in Patreon, Soundcloud, and Twitch - showing that artists can create in the most trying of times and that people are willing to support them.
What it does
It will be an infinite scroll app - but not for social media. Users can switch between subscribed, certified, and all channels. Certified is ArtFinder Certified artists - mainly musicians and videographers - posting any length videos. However, there will also be previews for their content that can be unlocked using coins that a user will purchase in the coin shop. This allows users to selectively support artist's work.
How we built it
We plan to use React Native or Swift for the frontend and use AWS for backend (Cognito, DynamoDB, etc.)

The Back-bone
Inspiration
Air pollution has significantly dropped throughout the world due to the coronavirus, but how long will it last? Sooner or later, we will get back to our ordinary lives. The Earth is undeniably better when cleaner, but how would we maintain that? Let’s first start with our homes!
Renewable energy is an emerging trend, but yet, for someone new to the field, there are so many seemingly complicated questions that need to be answered... How much is the setup going to cost me?
How effective is it going to be?
How much energy will it produce?
How long before my investment starts to generate profit?
Can I rely on it all-year-round?
Where do I start?
Those are some of the many concerns a new user may have, and, quite frankly, the former are also some of the main reasons many of us have been postponing the transition into renewable energy. It all just seems so complicated…
Responsible for the environment and the future, the team of Ecofy has decided to create an all-in-one solution for answering those concerns and making the leap into renewable energy as smooth as possible.
Our project is an online platform. Based on the geographical location of the user, the system recommends the most cost-effective setup and provides a detailed summary of the setup’s performance of the year. The core of our idea is simplicity, as we’re convinced that this is the main factor influencing the decision of new users to move into renewable energy.
We provide an easy-to-follow UI with understandable information. Some of the main statistics provided include a forecast for the total monetary savings generated by the system every month, the produced energy as well as the time it will take for the initial investment to be paid back to the user through the generated energy!
Our back-end utilizes NASA weather and sun-exposure data to calculate reliable forecasts of the system’s performance, in effect, minimizing the effort on the user side.
We believe that by providing people an easy-to-access platform, which presents the benefits of renewable energy in an understandable way, we’ll have a good chance of initiating change for a better future!
What it does
Based on the specific user location, the web-based Ecofy solution can compare and suggest which of the available renewable energy sources are viable. For example, if the user is in a generally windy location, Ecofy will automatically decide if a wind turbine would be more cost-effective than a solar panel based on weather data from nearby stations. User customizations like a fixed budget can also be tuned to generate more suitable suggestions for setups.
The platform will provide specific hardware model suggestions for the particular user with instructions on how to optimize them. For example, the incline of a solar panel directly affects energy production - our platform will try to maximize this through an easy-to-follow UI with instructions on how to set up the panel’s incline.
Different statistics about the performance of the system will also be displayed. Some of those will be how the power generation curve changes over the year (which will also depend on gathered weather data) and others will be cost-related. One main goal of the system is to provide a realistic estimate of how long it will take until the initial investment is paid back to the user in the form of generated energy.
The algorithm is capable of taking all the necessary information from weather station’s APIs and calculating the average solar radiance that the particular region gets as well as the average wind speed. The algorithm will be capable of making fairly accurate predictions about what system would suit the end-user better - would it be wind, solar, or maybe a hybrid system?
It will also provide instructions on how to set it up in the most efficient manner.
How we built it
We used Azure Web Services to host our back-end, which is encapsulated in the following paradigm:
A C# script accepts website queries communicating user-coordinates, investment size, and space availability
The C# script makes a real-time request to NASA's POWER database and extracts location data from the past 24 months for the following metrics: monthly solar irradiance, peak-performance angle of inclination for a solar panel, altitude & daily wind speed.
The extracted metrics are fed into a custom-made 2-hidden-layer neural network which predicts the values of the same metrics for the next 12 months. The neural network has been trained with uniformly-sampled data from equispaced locations throughout the world (5000 such). Eg. the spacing between sampled locations for Longitude is 360/5000 degrees, whereas the spacing for Latitude is 180/5000 degrees. This ensures the network will not be biased towards predicting for specific regions & climates.
The generated metrics are passed to a C# script which mathematically applies them to several wind turbine and solar panel models to discover which would be most profitable for the particular location
Once a decision is reached, the same C# function returns a theoretical energy & cost-saving forecast for the next 12 months
The forecast as well as the desired energy-saving solution are returned to the user through the website
For our front-end, we used a premade website template and modified it highly in order to fit the purpose of our project. We hosted our website under the Hostpapa using a temporary free domain (now expired)
Challenges we ran into
The gathering of data for the neural network training was a tedious task as thousands of requests had to be made to the NASA POWER API. This task also took the longest which was definitely risky considering the time-constrained format of the Hackathon.

About Sevalife
The science behind Sevalife (excerpt)
Save lives with Sevalife!
Sevalife
Save lives in 3 steps: commit, confirm, and celebrate!
Problem
Behind numbers, there is life. And with life comes happiness. We need to feel happy for being helpful while we solve the global COVID-19 crisis. Most people do want to help in order to end the current situation faster on a basic level, but they are not aware all the time; even presidents and kings forgot to avoid shaking hands.
However, this effort is helpful. Small actions from you, your friends, and your community can measurably decrease the expected number of infections and deaths in your country. But how can we ensure people are aware?
Solution
Sevalife is a simple chat that helps you take responsibility for solving the Pandemic by performing 3 daily steps:
Commit: asks you in the morning what will you do
Confirm: tells you in the evening how many lives you saved
Celebrate: See how many lives you saved
Sevalife enters the game for letting its users know how beneficial their actions are for today and for the future., and the user gets the following benefits:
A day to day boost on following the recommended precautions during this global Pandemic.
The possibility of doing a recap on the actions and activities done throughout the day.
Notifications in order to keep social responsibility awakened.
A multilingual interface with flows in English, Spanish, French, and Italian.
An estimated number of saved lives (feels good!) using advanced modelling.
Sharing is caring. Boost and encourage friends to keep the Corona fight.
Sevalife is a chatbot implemented in Chatbot.com (chatbot provider in Poland), previously implemented in Chatfuel (chatbot provider in California) and with a glitch.com backend, It runs in Facebook messenger, and it does not require installation.
Progress
Hackathon 3: EU vs Virus
(April 24-26)
This hackathon was meant to help us validate the Chatfuel chatbot so far. We had ambitious goals, but unpredictable events are part of our lives, and we had to sketch an action plan to solve it - as with the global virus.
We were confident to open the chatbot from 2 external users (from last week) to about 10 users (Friday evening). We learned that a chatbot implemented in this platform will run well for a few people, but will fail when as few as 10 people join (from our 1.000 users paid plan).
From the 10 users, only 3 managed to complete the first flow. All others simply got no response back from the chatbot at random steps in the flow. Then the Chatfuel dashboard became unavailable for 30 minutes. We contacted customer support, and before they answered, we logged two more severe issues in their infrastructure.
We decided to fight and change to a new server and, as a result, we ended up prioritising this activity. We have migrated our chatbot to a new platform (Chatbot.com) and have implemented the flows partially, but it will be an ongoing process after the hackathon.
We continued improving on the communications strategy (brand tone, SoMe, copies, and polishing translations), while our developers were migrating the flows (a manual process).
Team: Vlad Manea, Alejandro Trujillo Urién, Vikrant Singh.
Hackathon 2: Global Hack
(April 9-12)
During Global Hack, we improved the chatbot in Chatfuel and Glitch with three features:
opened the interactions in multiple languages: English, Spanish, French, and Italian.
estimated lives saved by using a state of the art, accurate epidemiological model (SEIR), using public data for France, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States; the model estimates the positive impact as the number of lives saved by daily actions of social isolation by a fraction of the population.
allowed the user to invite friends and see a joint leaderboard of estimated lives saved.
Team: Vlad Manea, Emma Barme, Alejandro Trujillo Urién, Florin Tatu.
Hackathon 1: Hack the Crisis Denmark
(April 3-5)
We developed a basic version of our chatbot in Chatfuel and Glitch. The chatbot:
asked questions about daily life, activities, durations, and people met.
helped users commit and confirm simple steps to reduce exposure to getting infected.
estimated the number of lives saved by using a basic, visual model.
Team: Vlad Manea, Sarah MacPhee (corresponding), Morten Sørensen (corresponding), Kate Wac (corresponding).
Impact
Wiseman says
Data says "if 10% of your country did your steps, there would be ~40.000 fewer deaths from COVID-19 over the next two months."
Our approach is mainly social and behavioural. We can influence the way our target has access to information sources and positive behaviours for society. It can serve as a portal for sharing good practices and educating our population on topics like hygiene and procedures for “coming back to life”.
Necessities
Our team has an ambitious approach to the future.
We are working on improving the user experience by optimising the flows.
New languages will be added and proofread when our system is stable.
Add new useful features and improve the Activities section.
Collaborate with entities interested in the educational and research potential of the chatbot.
We plan to continue by validating the chatbot with users, first in our countries, as we add more languages. We are now at 10 users we nurture. We have now observed the old platform did not scale, and we are moving it to a more stable platform.
We plan to improve the flows to increase motivation by following a hook model (Nir Eyal): triggers, actions, variable rewards, investments such that people can become more engaged. We can validate these flows and our solution in a case-control study (n <= 1.000 participants).
We plan to obtain help from healthcare and governmental bodies and businesses who can help us build the platform further, as we collect valuable data from anonymous participants.
Set up collaborations with researchers to collect more complex, but easy to obtain, information besides the number of people by using a combination of self-reported and technology-reported activities of daily life to help improve current models estimating social isolation.
Value
Our chatbot can be used by public institutions, official organisations and private Healthcare companies to make use of this way of communication and population-level research with citizens. The idea was made for lasting in time, as it will help in the future with other pandemics and sicknesses.
Sevalife gives easy access to guidelines on how to handle a global health crisis, how to be aware, and what is the estimated positive impact of doing so. Sevalife provides accurate information, ready to be customised to the person’s location.
Our team thinks globally, and we want this to be helpful for a lot of people over the world across national, cultural, and technological barriers. We use a simple platform (such as Messenger) for a complex purpose, to keep uncertainty with “too much” technology at bay.
While becoming a secure data source of information for research and society, we imagine Sevalife collaborating in the future with authorities and researchers deriving policies against our microscopic enemy. For example, using activities of daily life between crises to estimate baseline social exposure, and activities of daily life during crises to estimate social isolation (e.g, studies on N >= 1.000 participants).

Inspiration
COVID-19 emergency has changed everything. In a matter of few weeks our habits, our work, our social interactions – our lives – have been completely knocked over. Also the mark of time has taken a different shape. So we decided to focus on TIME.
There are over 5 M people in Italy over 65 yy who live in isolation. Since the beginning of the emergency, more than 21.000 people (average age 74yy) – often with limited access to technology – called the Italian Red Cross just to spend some time together and receive emotional support.
At the same time, many young people with access to technology want to help their communities but are not sure how. Not only individuals want to give their contribution, but an increasing number of companies want to make their part and demonstrate their social responsibility during this difficult time.
Currently, there in no place where these 3 realities are connected. OraInsieme was born to be that place. OraInsieme does not simply support help, but promote TIME TOGETHER.
The idea was born on March 27 during the first evening. Luca and myself, who coincidentally won a hackathon together (where we met) exactly 3 years ago (!), were brainstorming ways to help a vulnerable demographic who not only struggled with social isolation during the coronavirus, but also before and will after.
What it does
OraInsieme (“Ora” – now/hour and “Insieme” – together) is an online platform accessible by phone or internet which allows those in need to connect to a volunteer base. This creates a cross-generational dialogue where young people can provide emotional support and their skills (e.g. technology) and the elderly can share their wisdom – like how to make an awesome lasagna - by spending their time together. In such a way, all the users, elderly included, are active part of the system putting emphases to the contribution that each individual can give to another.
Additionally, the system encourages users to continue to share their time by leveraging on gamification mechanisms, which allow users to gain rewards, such as coupon or discounts, promoted by third parties. Third parties can sponsor blocks of time, providing volunteers with a small financial incentive to continue giving their time, as well as promoting a positive reputation for the sponsors. This incentive mechanisms not only could be helpful to volunteers who have recently lost their jobs and would have a way to invest their time and cheer up, but will also ensure the sustainability of the system over time.
How we built it
The web platform works as a virtual meeting place between people who need help and people who want to spend their free time to help.
“Taker” users will register on the platform and will be able to create - anonymously - a task where they can tell their needs. The system will automatically connect “Taker” users with “Giver” users who have made themselves available to help. The main section of the website is represented by a list of tasks filterable by category and by location.
Each user, who decides to use their time in solving the tasks, can choose on the rewards page how to convert the time accumulated into coupons or vouchers made available by third parties.
Our framework is cloud native: it can scale to hundred thousands it leverages the google infrastructure to accommodate load and commit to optimal performance and Google quality security.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenge we ran into was creating a complex platform (incorporating analogic and digital inputs) ready to handle a large volume of users reliably in a short amount of time. For OraInsieme timing is everything; although we truly believe the platform will have an important role in the post-COVID phase, the solution is needed NOW more than even. This forced us to work on simplifying the MVP while preserving all the important features to minimize the time-to-market.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
After 48h fro the brainstorming, we had already a solid idea framework and business model to bring OraInsieme to life and this allowed us to win the Italian edition of #HackTheCrisis in the category #SaveCommunities.
In other news, the day after our victory, the Italian Red Cross reached out to us to discuss about a partnership with OraInsieme (currently ongoing).
What we learned
While testing our idea with different voluntary associations, we received many inputs about how this solution would be very beneficial for people living in isolation as current Covid-19 emergency has worsen their situation.
Additionally, the sense of community and the thrive the people have during difficult times is above and beyond our imagination.
What's next for OraInsieme
GO LIVE!!!
After the GO LIVE of the MVP, we will move from a MVP to a complete version with the inclusion of the the analogic bit of the system. Meanwhile, we will amplify our 3rd parties network and reach a bigger audience.
The team sees their platform connecting some of Italy’s 13 million people 65 and older with younger volunteers long after the crisis to help bridge generational divides.

On the other hand, given the situation, there is a surge in the number of remote jobs. Taking this opportunity, my aim is to develop a tool which enables the population most vulnerable to economic impacts of Coronavirus to find home based online employment. The two most important caveats to the challenge are that A. a large portion of this population is not tech literate and B. they don’t have access to quality facilities, i.e. good internet, appropriate equipment’s. The goal is to join forces with people who have expertise in international development and online employment platforms to come up with ideas on how to tackle the challenge. | Employment for population economically vulnerable to Corona | I want to develop a tool that enables the population most vulnerable to economic impacts of Coronavirus (ones who cannot afford to go unemployed even for one day) to find home based online employment. | ['Cristina Chiran', 'Farhad Ataee', 'Anca-Mihaela Patrascan'] | [] | [] | 414 |

Seeing a lot of state governments in a problem to create a strategy for phase-wise lifting of lockdown.
What it does
After a convenient registration process on our app, you are ready to search for available supermarkets in your nearby areas. An intuitive filter lets you select your preferred date and shopping hours. After choosing your store and an available time slot, you can book in your appointment. The app will remind you 30 minutes before the appointment. Presenting the ticket’s QR code at the entrance lets you enter the supermarket without queuing and limits the spread of coronavirus.
Many other places which are important to community are closed today. Our app can help in opening them in the near future. By implementing our appointment based system, places like restaurants, malls, cafes and clothing stores can be opened for controlled number of people.
How I built it
With the help of designers we came to a mobile based application using APIs and various other tools.
What's next for Samanya
Develop Prototype : A team of dedicated developers can finish the first beta version of the app.
Test In Selected Supermarkets : App will be tested in selected supermarkets first to receive immediate user feedback and to improve the service.
Launch Mobile App : After successful developing and testing, the app can be launched for all supermarkets across Major Cities together with a well-coordinated communication.
Add Additional Stores : In a second launch phase, other stores (pharmacies, restaurants and clothing stores) can be added to our app and bring back normality while saving our community.

Inspiration
The lockdown & social distancing measures hit some people harder than others. A good friend of ours, a personal trainer, lost his only source of income. We pushed him to shift his business to live streaming on his social platforms. The problem then was discoverability, the fact that he had no product to sell, and no convenient way to set up a financial support system. This platform is our solution for all the people in similar situations. We enable community-wide (and cross-community) learning, teaching, entertainment & support.
What it does
A community-based live streaming platform for learning, teaching, and entertainment. We simplify the discovery of high-quality streamed content.
How we built it
Since streaming & storage is really expensive, we are built on the YouTube API, enabling us to be a streaming platform with none of the overhead.
Challenges we ran into
Setting up your own streaming, even with out-of-box services, is really expensive, and not all platforms can be aggregated.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The realization that we can actually build this idea around YouTube (for now). It's a win-win-win. We have no streaming overhead. The user can grow both their YouTube viewer base and our platform viewer base. The added discoverability through our platform and we enable you to bypass youtube's built-in support modules, which requires 1,000 subscribers to enable and a youtube account to support.
What we learned
Tons. And we're still learning.

A global index search of local businesses
The World Won't Stop Initiative aims to bring life to normal as closely as possible
:)
The World Won't Stop!
Our Vision
The World Won't Stop (WWS) initiative aims to provide stability to the daily breadwinner style households in 2020. My team is from India and our project is inspired by the largest affected group of people in the quarantine, the poor. However, our idea isn't limited to just helping India, WWS's solution can be implemented globally with very little setup and resources to assist the poor.
With providing people the means to continue their jobs
, have access to safety equipment and medical checkups, we hope to remarkably decrease everyday new infection cases of the outbreak.
The initiative's direction is to bring everyone's life to normal by restoring their previous occupations as closely as possible.
Why we wanted to start the initiative:
Observing how all the local eateries had to shut down due to the pandemic, we felt the need to find a solution that could save all our favorite businesses and help get them through these tough times.
How it works:
A general use case of our app would include two scenarios, the local eatery switching to continue to provide services through our app and the general consumer who wants to have good affordable local food.
Our app would hold an index of contact details and cities around the world of street vendors, eateries and local food businesses. The everyday person would search his city, look through the available local food choices, payment options and decide on what he wants to have. Then the person can place an order directly to the business and await delivery completed by proper equipped personnel.
The Government sanctioned personnel would also have access to proper equipment like sanitizers, masks and gloves at factory prices. This would also greatly increase the health protection of the poor.
How this will help:
We plan to setup an index for local vendors and eateries globally with Government sanctioned verified shops. This would allow these businesses to operate their daily routine by switching to deliveries for purchases.
An everyday person can place a delivery order and have affordable food at their home by ensured safe packaging.
Future Plans for WWS:
The global situation is unpredictable at the moment and it's always best to prepare. To ensure a smooth transition for the poor to life under quarantine, we aim to expand into other areas that could benefit the impoverished groups.
Some of these include:
Helping provide other daily wage job opportunities.
Neighborhood volunteering programs.

Flashcards module for practice
Inspiration
The completion rates for MOOCs on Coursera / edX is less than 4%. In my opinion, this is because most edtech platforms create their own content and that makes them a poor content curator. These days, people learn not just from MOOCs and textbooks, but videos, livestreams, tweetstorms, podcasts, blog posts, interactive explorables, git repositories and much more.
What it does
LearnAwesome.org collects and curates learning resources from all over the Web with rich metadata. This enables two very powerful things:
Advanced searches like "Show me short videos about machine learning that explain it in entertaining and visual manner and is recommended by researchers
Generate an optimal learning path that adapts to the user's background, goals and constraints. If you want to learn Python, the path will be different for those who already
This is also a community of learners (similar to GoodReads), with uni-directional follow. You can see what others are learning and what resources they recommend. There is a spaced-repetition based flashcard practice module to help you remember what you read. There is a browser extension for making all of this seamless. There are topic-specific chat rooms for informal discussions. There are embeddable widgets so you can show off your learning activity on other websites.
How we built it
We started simply as a list of links in a Github repository. But soon people started asking for search and ratings, so we turned this into a web application. We use Rails and PostgreSQL with Heroku.
Challenges we ran into
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We already get around 3,000 monthly active users.
We were featured by ProductHunt.
Users have started talking about us on social media.
What we learned
We need to organize topics in a knowledge graph or a conceptNet to be able to do more powerful search and exploration.

What it does
With the infrared sensor it will be able to identify the body temperature of a person and as the device is camera enabled the image of a person is captured with text annotated. Now here the images will be taken with the temperature recorded and will be sent to the government servers and so that it will be easier for the government people to identify the people who've had high temperature. As in right now because of Covid-19 to stop further prevention the people who have high temperature are needed to be tracked down and with the images which they already have it will be easy for the government to track down these people.

How to prevent fraud during coronavirus outbreak
How GetID works
GetID team
“In today’s world COVID-19 has separated people physically but more connected digitally. In such a world, verification of identities become more challenging than ever.”
Inspiration
Digital identities are embedded in our daily lives. Online is becoming mainstream: what was once called 'online shopping' and 'online banking' are simply shopping and banking these days. Consumers have to prove they are who they claim to be to use almost all services, while businesses need to do it to be competitive. Identity Verification creates a lot of new opportunities and opens up new markets:
It is a powerful tool against fraud for businesses
It improves customer experience for clients
It provides better services for governments as well as works against crime and corruption
What it does
GetID was established in April 2019 and is located in Estonia, Tallinn. The company provides Identity Verification solutions.
It is a convenient, transparent, and flexible solution for businesses to address their compliance needs. We provide Identity Verification, fraud prevention, and AML screening. Trusted identity is a core service offering to match customers’ physical identity against their real-world identity.
We provide an automated real-time identity document and selfie analysis for instant results. Our solution consists of advanced biometric facial recognition and liveness detection for both digital identity confirmation and document verification capabilities.
Native compatibility with Android and iOS mobile applications simplifies the verification process for customers by directly integrating the mobile version of GetID. Using the latest region-specific and industry-specific technologies, including AI and OCR, GetID increases revenues and customer satisfaction by simplifying and automating the onboarding process
Challenges I ran into
All our challenges are interdependent. Barriers to entering the market are low as it is a global and digital environment. Therefore, our main challenge is product quality and the ability to compete on the product feature level.
Delay in the development of the own digital identification tool
Product design and development has to be on time and has no room for technical errors. The customers’ experience with the product has to be immaculate to protect us from the client drop off.
Scaling of the business model
An additional challenge is not being able to scale our business model. If our technology is not in place. even partly, GetID will need to resort to substituting it with external solutions with a lower margin.
Today, there are an estimated 3,500 types of identity documents that have to be evaluated for online verification. The GetID team has to master its expertise in patterns, languages and symbols in order to program/teach machine learning technology and create automated processes where possible.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Ready product with own technology in place and first big clients
What I learned
Digital World is the future and being able to operate in it, is the key to business success regardless of the industry.
COVID-19 ruined the routine of the whole globe in matter of days. The GetID solution is definitely something that can be used to fight against business losses, so everything can function in the digital world, especially essential services as digital healthcare or financial institutions.
What's next for GetID - online identity verification
GetID solves
a fundamental problem for the digital economy: how do we know somebody is who they claim to be, and can we trust them?
GetID is addressing the Identity Verification matter globally and across different industries at the intersection of businesses, users and regulators. Our main aim is to improve Identity Verification efficiency and facilitate trust resulting in quicker and safer customer onboarding and global, scalable KYC solution.
Target Market
The first target is the FinTech industry as this is where the highest need for automated KYC solutions is. This target market consists of small and mid-sized financial institutions, brokerage companies, gaming businesses and crowdfunding platforms. Now, with COVID-19 we will also target the healthcare services to relieve some pressure from hospitals and fight against COVID-19 together.

"Life has to be more than just about solving problems. It should... create the sense of adventure." (Elon Musk)
I want to make a gift for those, who, like me, have long suffered from learned helplessness and boredom. People are designed to dream, discover and create new worlds.
Usually there's some framework to help - be it university or the office (haha!). But what if there isn't any? Some people go by themselves fine - and some get stuck just killing time, trying to just last another day. I want to help them.
Try and give them motivation to make their days count, make their days more interesting, engaging and inspiring. Make every step forward memorable. :)
This one goes to the category of "life after the pandemic" - I want to save lives afterwards - actually make the lives happen. Make lives out of potentially wasted time. :)
What it does
It's a digital assistant that applies game mechanics to personal goal management in order to help people accomplish their daily tasks with the same level of Flow they get in computer games.
Help and encourage them to make small steps toward their goals and dreams every day.
How I built it
Some Python and Telegram API (thanks, guys!).
(I'm sorry for no neuralnets just yet :D)
What's next for 2boldlygo
I'll have to deploy it and ensure people get to actually use it. :) Because the game actually begins, when real people get to try and give their feedback!
For the long time I was the only user.
But I firmly believe, that it could benefit somebody else. If it's only one person on Earth, who gets the necessary motivation and inspiration to move forward, I will consider my task complete.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/crisup-crisis-support | Inspiration
We believe in the strength and value of the countless medical psychologists and social workers across the globe who are supporting the medical teams in the Covid-19 crisis. They are the ones on the side lines, and in the pitstops helping their medical colleagues stay in shape during and after this crisis marathon.
It is our mission to empower these support teams through a global online psycho social expert center. Where the psycho social support teams can exchange information, this information can be researched by scientists and best practices and other finding can be shared.
This will save the support teams time in setting up the right support infrastructure for their medical teams and they have the global knowledge at their disposal to do a better job every day and be ready for the next crisis.
Although there is not be an exchange of individual patient information the access will be limited and the expert center will only be accessible after validation.
What it does
CRISUP is a knowledge platform to enable the support infrastructure in the medical field. Sharing information like best practices, protocols, E-learnings and other allows the support infrastructure to facilitate their teams with the appropriate information and the right time, while not having to “reinvent the wheel”. By this they can spend their time increasingly valuable, instead of drawing up document and processes that already exists across the industry and have been proven useful.
How we built it
Start with drawing upon initial needs, using pragmatic sketching & short feedback loops;
Set up initial design in visualizations;
Draw out intended process flows
Set up assets in AdobeXD
Design separate pages
Implement process flow to establish prototype v.1
Challenges we ran into
Verification of the need: Actively checking in on media channels and verifying with target group
Access to target group: Setting up direct communication with people in the support infrastructure
Time: using technology that is already out in the field
Information accessibility: Having a close relationship, discussing the sharability of types of information and using what has been already communicated
Privacy: Focussing on the support infrastructure and supporting documentation (not on individual client cases)
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Actively building relationships across the medical field, drilling down on the underlying need for the support infrastructure
Building a program to enable individuals to really focus on what they consider valuable in their profession
Setting up a concept to be verified with the market
What we learned
Information is not actively shared
Processes are often reinvented
UI should be basic, focus on information that is most relevant for user
What's next for CRISUP
Finish research & validation;
Create initial wireframes;
Verify approach with market;
Onboard key users of support infrastructure groups;
Start prototype;
Design & build (incl. Tool selection);
Verification & test with panel;
Launch;
Onboard support infrastructure groups;
Set up promotion program to facilitate optimal adoption.

https://youtu.be/YhWsAX6CCZA
Inspiration
As universities and high schools shut down indefinitely, college professors and educators the world over have been forced to abruptly move their lectures to the online medium of Video streaming applications. One of the most jarring shifts is the loss of the ability to "read the room"; most professors and public speakers actively gauge the mood of their audience based on body language and facial cues, they might be drowsy in the classroom and adjust accordingly to speed up, slow down, or pause for questions.
On a video conference call, however, the professor must focus on sharing their own screen and moving around the elements of their digital presentations. Even if they choose to view all the students' webcams, it is unrealistic for a professor to quickly and accurate gauge the mood of multiple webcam feeds on one screen.
I wanted to do anything we could to help our professors and give them the tools to teach most comfortably and effectively and that students also give full attention.
This is also to give performance analysis of the students while working from home and check how their mood affects their overall performance as well. We can give recommendations to them to maximize the performance of the students.
What it does
It detects if person is drowsy and alerts the user in case they get drowsy.
It detects emotions of the user.
It should give idea to the professors to see which students are attentive and can generate a report to the professors during online lecture.
How I built it
The first part is to i to screenshot continuously throughout a Video Conferencing call to feed that information into the Google Vision API implementation which can detect moods.
I also built my own Emotion detector which can detect emotion of a person incase Google API is not able to uploaded for reasons.
I also made Drowsiness detection using Open CV and Python libraries which detects the movement of the eyes.
Challenges I ran into
My original plan was to use Zoom/Skype API but that wasnt possible, so I decided to use the default camera, run it over to see the usage of the machine learning algorithm.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I was able to get very good accuracy with the model trained. And this is specially useful during corona virus outbreak.
What I learned
I learned about google cloud, using Open CV in more detail.
What's next for MoodEduCare
To integrate this across all video streaming platforms and online courses to let teachers/professors know about the performance of the students. This can be expanded for workplace as well specially for people working from home.

Due to CoVID-19 there is a complete lockdown in many major cities and the government has asked offices and restaurants to remain close due to which there is a huge spike in unemployment. Many elderly and other people with underlying needs are at a disadvantage when it comes to buy anything, including grocery and medicine. Many daily wagers are suffering and just looking for food supplies to survive.
What it does
Helpers community is a web application that allows hyper-localized communities to fulfill requests, using a volunteer ticketing system, to empower people in the Covid-19 crisis. The platform helps people that include but not limited to who are unemployed, are housebound or looking for food. People can volunteer to provide the affected with daily necessities, food supplies or ration.

We believe in a sustainable future.
The everyday choice we make all have impacts on our planet.
According to the United Nations,
“Sustainable Development”
means meeting the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
.
While the general public’s interest in Sustainability is steadily growing, there is still a notable lack of platforms that can
pull together the power of businesses, non-governmental organizations and the consumer to effect change.
In a world threatened by increasing environmental disasters, economic failure and social challenges, with few years ahead to change the outcome of our planet and make it a better place for all, we decided to create Aworld.
What it does
AWorld is a
social gamified application
that creates
awareness on the Sustainable Development Goals
and encourages people to adopt a
more sustainable lifestyle
by measuring the impact behind their real-life actions.
The Platform makes the process fun and interactive by
engaging users
with weekly activities, daily tips and rewarding them with points or badges
leveraging psychological motivators
such as competition and recognition among peers.
The Platform further tracks and
rewards behaviour
inside and outside the App, allowing each user to see the tangible impact of their actions with an Impact Score.
The goal is to create a
community of motivated people
who will use the AWorld App on a daily basis to increase awareness on the sustainability issue. This will help users
collectively take action
in order to deliver and archive the 2030 Agenda making the world a better place to live
How we built it
AWorld team built a
SaaS microservices System
to teach, reward, connect and engage people about sustainability.
AWorld App

Summary
Community Heroes aims to match needs and skills within communities, and helps
heroes
- the ones providing these services - get the recognition they deserve.
Principles of Community Heroes:
You are not alone.
You have a community behind you, so ask for help when you need it.
You are valuable.
Everyone has something to contribute. Use this platform to find new opportunities to share your skills (and be a hero).
This app helps community members find the help they need, and gives helpers tangible recognition for their community engagement. Municipalities, NGOs, corporate CSR campaigns and other entities can get involved through providing recognition and rewards for activities they want to encourage. We are linking these activities to broader Sustainable Development Goals with the help of gamification.
The primary problem we are trying to solve is:
How can people within communities support each other, and jointly work towards a brighter future?
The Problem in more detail
Especially vulnerable community members are heavily affected by the current crisis. A further rise of unemployment will leave many additional community members in a vulnerable position. At the same time, governments, cities and municipalities, non-profits and other entities need to generate rapid responses, create tangible result, and build trust within communities.
Community members need or want help, but don't know where to ask:
Maybe a medical condition forces you to stay inside during the crisis and you need someone to help pick up groceries. Or perhaps you need help with using a computer. Or you even just want to learn a new language. Where do you ask?
Those willing to help do not easily find opportunities:
Especially in times of social distancing, it is hard to see vulnerable people who could need your help, and to recognize how valuable your skills can be.
Individuals need to see the bigger picture of their actions to stay committed:
Helping on a small scale often conceals the larger impact of your actions. This holds true especially for things like social distancing or climate action, for which the impact of our actions is very intangible and delayed. Visibility on progress and impact helps people stay committed.
Individuals like to feel valued for their contributions:
Visualization and recognition of activities can go a long way in building a strong community. It is equally important to empower recipients of community services by giving them a tangible way to show their appreciation, even if they don't have the financial means to do so.
In times of crisis “Sponsors” need trustworthy means to reach and engage citizens:
Their aim would be to generate rapid responses to reach the most vulnerable people, when the usual administrative tools are not enough.
Governments, cities and municipalities, NPOs, corporate CSR campaigns all want to find ways to effectively engage communities:
Encouraging communities to act, especially inspiring community engagement around specific activities, is a key topic for all of those entities. At the same time, they need tangible results, and effective representation and communication of impact.
Our inspiration
In times of crisis, communities can do amazing things when they come together. We are seeing examples of this every day, in the face of Covid-19.
One source of inspiration was recognizing that in times of scarcity, when funds are hardly available,
complementary systems can affect real and lasting change
.
Time Banking
is a great example of this phenomenon, because it puts the focus on those activities that we often do not value with normal "money" - and yet, these are the kinds of activities we often value
most
in times of crisis.
Another inspiration is noting what motivates our own actions: That is, we realized that seeing people around us do meaningful work encourages us to do the same. Elements of gamification and incentivization can help us to dedicate more time to things that matter. And digital solutions can help us feel connected to disparate members of our community, especially in times when we can’t be physically present.
The Solution
We are building an application that facilitates the
connection and matching
between community members that need help and those that can offer help.
A community can be chosen as a profile setting, but the solution allows for interoperability and exchange between communities.
To improve
accessibility
especially for vulnerable community members, we will include
voice-to-speech recognition
, the possibility to add requests and communicate via
SMS
, and a
"buddy" system
that facilitates access especially for elderly, youth and community members without device access.
Matching
of needs and help will be improved over time through Machine Learning, and takes into account various input factors based on voice and text recognition.
Once the match is found and a community member helps complete a task,
the user can reward the helper by giving them "Hero Hours"
. Hero Hours are not mediated by any sort of central bank; instead, the system is modeled on the concept of mutual credit, to encourage a mentality of paying it forward.
All value exchanges between community members will be securely
recorded
through the application. For this part, we aim to integrate an existing Blockchain solution (the open-source Trustlines Protocol) for the accounting logic and
decentralized peer-to-peer value exchange
.
How it works: Users automatically
receive a credit line
when they join the community, which they can use to give out Hero Hours when receiving help. But they can additionally choose to
give a credit line
to the community, and use this to start receiving Hero Hours when they offer their help.
Our gamification strategy is furter helping to motivate users and incentivize behaviour that is beneficial for the community as a whole. Members can receive
badges
based on accumulating hours of support related to a specific activity (for example learning, education). Badges can also be specificly created around a campaign or certain event.
Our "sponsors" can build
campaigns
around certain activities they want to encourage, provide
rewards and recognition
for active community engagement, and use anonymized data insights for
storytelling and reports
.
The Users
Our users are everyday community members. Their needs vary from personal growth activities and extracurriculars like learning yoga or practicing new languages, to help running important errands like grocery shopping, pickup of medication, household repairs, etc.
During the Covid-19 crisis, especially vulnerable community members have an increased need for support. Our hope would be that
increased community engagement during the crisis
could result in
lasting forms of community support and engagement that are centered around sustainability
.
We want to make sure that the solution is inclusive, has high usability, a transparent and user-friendly privacy policy and will be free to use for community members.
Our impact
Our solution aims to mobilize community solidarity and collaboration, build support and provide direct insight into the needs of the community, and fulfill those needs through direct exchange of community members and additional support and targeted actions of sponsors.
Through gamification and non-monetary exchange of community members, we aim to maintain and even increase the motivation of our helpers, and thereby create a supportive community culture.
This is further strengthened through mechanisms for recognition and reward.
When it comes to long term impact, we hope to obtaining analytics related to SDG Action to improve long term acts within social impact projects, and further encourage proximity and transparency between governmental administrations and citizens.
Some of the impacts we will track within the communities using our platform:
Impact on the interactions between neighbours
Impact on the unemployment rate
Impact on mental illness cases
...
A detailed impact strategy will be drafted before the first pilot.
What we have done
We started based on work we did during the Global Hack and Hack the Crisis France, where we made first steps on our prototype, did some initial validation, and built a
landing page
.
During the EuVsVirus hackathon, We have further detailed out the concept and our solution, precisely with regards to accessibility, privacy and security, and we integrated our learnings and insights on these topics and updated our prototype accordingly. We also made substantial steps on refining our solution, especially when it comes to the integration of Machine Learning, and the way the peer-to-peer accounting solution will be linked to the logic of the app.
We allocated quite some time in discussing the roles of sponsors and how the app can empower communities as a whole.
For validation of our assumptions, we created a
questionaire
to gain a better understanding of the motives, obstacles and drivers of helping out in communities, and gained further insights on our sponsorship models through discussions with participants and mentors.
We then updated our
video
and presentation with all insights and learnings.
What we learned
We received valuable feedback from voluntary respondents, through our questionaire and initial test users and had some great conversations to help refine the idea. While looking into the process and motivations of people involved in different roles, we gained additional understanding.
Next steps
Some of the next steps we have foreseen:
Validation and refinement:
Further distribution and analysis of results from our questionnaire
Additional user interviews
Additional sponsor feedback
Design & building
Update of user stories based on validation insights
Refinement of overall architecture
MVP definition & start of development
Use existing Trustlines Protocol for accounting logic and hour P2P transfer
Focus on matching requests with offers within a community through Machine Learning
Partnerships & Communities
Identify possible partners and communities that would be willing to trial the solution, or want to help us with further development
See how we can link up with other similar or adjacent projects
Pilot
Build strategic partnerships with solidarity networks, cities and community organizers
Pilot application in a local community, city or event
Evaluate impact & lessons learned
Go to market
Full app development incl. pilot insights
Implementation in a larger community
“White Label” app incl. local community-based branding while keeping inter-community interoperability
How you can get involved
Every form of involvement is highly welcome, whether you just want to give quick feedback, guide or advise our progress, become a partner, or become a part of the team.
Just send us a message, and we will include you in the conversation!

Among the major challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis are the imminent collapse of health systems due to the overload of hospitalization cases and the need to resume work activities in order to safeguard the country’s economic system. These issues are further pronounced in countries from the Global South that are economically unstable and did not undergo a process of digitization of key sectors such as health and public administration. In contrast to such a situation, a considerable number of those Global South countries, such as Brazil, India and other countries of Latin America and Southeast Asia, are known to have heavily tech-oriented and digitally integrated societies/private sectors that interact and showcase a mastery of a wide range of digital solutions.
Our team is composed of individuals of different expertise and backgrounds that have experienced and been equally shaped by the impact of the rapid digitization of Global South countries. As such, we have developed the necessary skills to identify both the opportunities created by a digital society and the digital shortcomings of public administrations.
The apparent paradox of tech-savvy societies dwelling in a digitally-impaired public structure has motivated us to develop
cautio
, a digital solution that bridges the gap between individuals and their respective countries’ health systems.
We envision cautio being used by hospitals, individuals and governmental authorities to enable medical follow-up and data aggregation of individuals that were diagnosed with COVID-19 and had to be sent home due to the hospitals’ overload or for having only mild symptoms.
How cautio works
cautio
seeks to address sent-home COVID-19 cases through the implementation of a user friendly two-pronged application that may be accessed by the government and hospitals on one side, and by individuals on the other. This solution will harbor profiles of persons diagnosed with COVID-19, which will be created by hospitals or other relevant health entities, indicating when and where they were tested positive for the virus; the prescribed medication; their home address; whether they have been hospitalized previously or not; and their initial health condition.
These individuals would then gain access to
cautio
and be able to register the daily progress of his/her condition by submitting information, such as his/her temperature and other symptoms, to his/her daily journal on their mobile devices or PCs by themselves or through a carer.
Through cautio, hospitals can monitor the development of sent-home COVID-19 cases and adopt hospitalization measures for individuals whose health conditions are progressively deteriorating.
In addition,
cautio
can enable multiple hospitals to cooperate through a network and to assign patients to each other on the basis of their hospitalization capacity.
In this regard,
cautio
does not intend to create a doctor-patient channel but instead, an environment in which hospitals and the government can keep track of the development of sent-home COVID-19 cases in order to
understand the behavior and tendencies of patients and the pandemic via established artificial intelligence and statistics algorithms.
Nonetheless, depending on the deterioration of the patient’s health being recorded by
cautio
, the hospitals can take the necessary measures by establishing direct contact through other means.
On the government side, the fully encrypted and anonymized data provided by
cautio
can be used to easily evaluate the development of sent-home COVID-19 active cases on a geographical level, as well as to aggregate information on individuals that have reported no more symptoms. These pieces of information shall
contribute to more accurate governmental decisions and public policies
to resume normal working conditions in the future, among others.
Therefore, cautio is able to provide real-time status of COVID-19 on an individual level for medical follow-up, as well as valuable inputs for public administrations for data analysis on a bigger scale.
How we built cautio
cautio is designed to be highly scalable and easy to deploy.
In this regard,
cautio
is able to immediately handle a sudden explosive growth of its user base due to its native cloud structure.
We are taking advantage of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to minimize maintenance overhead by outsourcing the infrastructure management and security and thus
enhancing cautio’s performance and cost-effectiveness without compromising its functionality.
cautio’s
backend is entirely serverless and built using AWS Lambdas, which allows for decoupled operations and significantly faster iterations. This extremely resilient and manageable structure enables precise and smooth vertical scalability. Additionally, as a consequence of the adopted structure, the failure of a part of the software would not compromise its remaining segments.
Our database of choice is MongoDB, which is a NoSQL database that uses a document data model and allows us to be highly flexible with the data structure, as well as to iterate more rapidly in the coming weeks. It also enables performant aggregations for more efficient data analysis. MongoDB also has full support for geospatial queries, a crucial feature for aggregating geospatial data under the scope of our project. We are using Mongo Atlas deployed on AWS servers as our MongoDB managed service. We intend to maximize throughput and minimize latency by deploying it in AWS within the same locations as the rest of the application.
For
cautio’s
frontend we chose renowned and market-tested technologies such as React and Gatsby that provide a strongly established ecosystem, to create a better user-friendly experience.
We have taken the necessary steps to ensure that cautio is simple, intuitive and easy to use for patients, hospital workers, and governmental officials while taking into account the wide range of users with different backgrounds and ages.
How we created cautio's visual ID
Drawing inspiration from the Latin word “cautio”, we designed a brand whose main elements derive from the concepts of care, health, and medical follow-up.
In this regard, two of the main elements of our brand are particularly emphasized: the red cross and the user, which represent the hospitals and the individuals, respectively. These elements are highlighted with the brand’s key colors, (red “Fiery Rose” and turquoise “Dark Turquoise”) and interconnected through a section of the logo’s letter “t”.
Our brand’s objective is to showcase the more decentralized interconnection between hospitals and individuals that can be achieved through cautio, and how it benefits public administrations, health entities, and the individual person in different ways.
Challenges we ran into
cautio
is an initiative created from scratch for The Global Hack. Consequently, we faced challenges related to time constraints, such as assembling the team, clearing relevant legal issues, reaching to governmental stakeholders on how to integrate
cautio
with their existing solutions, and how to simplify as much as possible the user experience not to further overload hospital workers and to encourage its continuing usage by individuals.
Furthermore,
cautio
may be required to follow privacy regulations that would demand the addition of new features to our current structure. As a first step to address this issue,
we intend to build a strong and resilient point-to-point encryption for the data transmitted through cautio
.
From a business standpoint and depending on the national legislation, the implementation of
cautio
may demand the establishment of an office within a specific country’s territory in order to carry out its activities.
Accomplishments
Overcoming the current crisis requires the full engagement of society.
Through cautio, we managed to create an interconnection between the three major players of the fight against the COVID-19: hospitals, public administrations, and individuals.
Throughout the period of The Global Hack, we received very positive feedback and validation from key stakeholders in the fight against the COVID-19. As such,
public and private hospital workers have expressed their enthusiasm when introduced to cautio
, claiming that this tool can be very effective and feasible to understand the behavior of patients and to enable further medical follow-up.
Likewise,
governmental officials from both health and crisis management departments of big and medium cities with different socioeconomic contexts have voiced their interest in cautio.
They highlighted the positive impact that this platform can have when assessing the current crisis, especially concerning the possibility to gather real-time data of sent-home COVID-19 cases, which are often hard to track.
We are confident and proud of
cautio’s
capability of bridging the gap between such players and to provide an easy-to-use solution that enables medical follow-up, as well as data aggregation on the behavior and tendencies of patients and the pandemic for governance and research.
What’s next for cautio
We are in the process of reaching out to multiple hospitals, governmental stakeholders and investors to enable the implementation of
cautio
, as well as possible partners, such as health tracker manufacturers, in order to improve
cautio’s
functionalities.
We are currently implementing compliance measures in accordance with relevant legislation, such as GDPR, and their data protection and privacy obligations concerning sensitive personal and health-related information.
Additionally, we will implement the relevant Terms and Conditions in order to obtain explicit consent, as well as to ensure compliance with the applicable privacy requirements from the individual side when they start using
cautio.
Meanwhile, we will consolidate
cautio’s
infrastructure.
We intend to apply a trainable pattern recognition algorithm to analyze user behavior and disease progression to provide better insights for the involved parties. Moreover, we will implement a fully encrypted data processing pipeline in order to provide world-class data protection on par with best practices. We will also take anonymization measures to facilitate governmental analysis and scientific research.
Among other things that are yet to be implemented, we plan to convert our platform from react to react native in the near future, add new features, such as more symptoms to report; the possibility for hospitals to register pre-existing health conditions of their patients; allow authentication through other means, such as SMS and Outlook; make
cautio
available in other languages, and address other issues we faced during
cautio’s
initial stages.
We have the intention to continue our research and development in order to discover other situations in which
cautio
can make a difference. Initially,
we are investigating the possibility of integrating cautio alongside geo-tracking bracelets commonly used for children monitoring and add a feature to notify responsible authorities whenever a patient leaves his/her quarantine perimeter.
Thus, we would build a limited geofencing functionality that can be crucial for the enforcement of some regulations such as those being enacted in countries such as Australia and Italy that prohibits the return of elderly people to their nursing homes if they breach quarantine.
We look forward to improving
cautio’s
functionalities in line with the valuable inputs that we have received during The Global Hack.

Here’s the whole story:
Inspiration: All the ideas came up to us when China faced the Coronavirus quarantine. We could feel how frustrating for people to be under lockdown with limited activities to do. Then, we tried to keep up our head and try to stay focused on our eagerness to succeed. We wanted to help our fellow mates in French-speaking countries to be fluent in speaking English. Also, the feeling of supporting education in Africa pushed us hard to come up with ideas which people will be glad to follow up with. Our courses are set at a meager price to let everybody afford it, and also some part of the benefit will be sent to help those associations in charge of assisting schools and provide the materials for learning and place to study.
What it does: With Bee LingoBridge online classes, you can learn English from fully qualified teachers, who will provide you with a well-rounded education, focusing not just on speaking, but on reading, writing, listening and also using 21st-century teaching. 21st-century teaching means teaching as you have always taught but with today's tools and technology. It means utilizing everything necessary in today's world so that students will be able to live and prosper in today's economy, as well as having the ability to guide students and to prepare them for the future. You can study at home in the comfort of your own home or office. There is no need to dress-up (or get dressed for that matter), travel somewhere, find the money for parking or transit, and arrive at a set time. Our classes can be planned around your trip or a series of activities. Our flexible scheduling will make this happen with your choice. It's that simple. With our teaching service and an interactive whiteboard for your instructor and you to make notes and scribble, you will see that the instant feedback and results are what you were looking for. You will receive 100% individualization with any English pronunciation, vocabulary, and for any conversational purpose. All of this will help maximize your learning potential. It's your place to be!
How I built it: In the beginning, we were three people who shared the same ideas. We realized that most of the people, especially in Africa who want to start new projects are more focused on a different kind of business and education always comes last.
Secondly, the first time we arrived in a foreign country for our study, we struggled with the language because English wasn't our second language. So the point is to prepare all of the fellow mates from all the countries where English is not their mother tongue to be able to speak it fluently from the youngest to the oldest age.
Here are the steps we used to build it. We made a survey questionnaire to different countries to ask people if they would be interested in learning English in a diverse and fun way (students centered), varying from a traditional classroom.Then from the survey result, we got positive feedback, and we required to invest with the best American school books with the best English language teaching, developed by Oxford university press. We all decided to set up a goal. So our approach aims are to develop education in Africa, and some parts of our profits will be sent to associations to help children who do not have access to education. By learning with us, people are helping our dear brothers and sisters who are in need, so together, we will create schools for those who cannot afford it. After we made our goal, it leads us with this vision: "Together, we can create the future." Then we started to look for partners from different countries who want to be part of our team and share the same objective.
After that, we created our first Facebook page and shared free story audios with our followers. And there are more new activities we will promote in the future. Afterward, we all searched for ideas in how we are going to deliver our course using our tools' full potential, and our ultimate accessories. Finally, we came up with two platforms to give our lessons.
Challenges I ran into: It is tough to reach people where technology and network are still costly. We faced a hard time when we promote how we will conduct our project to persuade people to learn in new ways because most people are scared of change. And also, since we are a startup business, we still haven't got an office where we are centered.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of: We are excited about this new project because we are doing these to help people with a lack of education, and sharing knowledge along with motivation is the best way to educate students.
What I learned: It is not easy to accomplish something and never stop trying. Never stop believing. Never give up, no matter how hard the situation is. And also for every bad thing in life, there are more good things to tip the balance.
What's next for Bee Lingobridge online education: We want to be well known in those countries where English is not their native language and get more students from different people in the world. We want to give our help and reach out to the association, which helps the education field.

Inspiration
My PhD on evaluation of dairy farming systems in Haryana followed by a post-doctoral research on dairy farming in Asia made me realize that all problems have the solutions already in the environment. The moment we overcome the manmade barriers to access the universal culture, technology and experiences, solutions are not only resilient, they are sustainable in the long run.
What it does
It starts with sharing and caring for your immediate local interface in the supply chain. You provide information on what you do, in return you get to know what your neighbours do better than you. You improve and your neighbour learns from you. This chain continues until your region reaches the optimal Equilibrium.
How I built it
I started with a small part of food supply chain, the dairy farmers. Based on my PhD project on frontier farm evaluation, I developed a model to collect data, analyse and forecast for the future 10 years. With addition of member networks, A AI system is developed which identifies and benchmarks the best options in every activities in the dairy business. This started as the reference point of productivity and information sharing tool.
Challenges I ran into
The toughest challenge was to convince stakeholders to share with the right information in the right time. The other challenge was to ensure the data privacy and safety of users identity and interests. However, with use of digital technology and social communication it was possible to overcome them.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Developing this unique platform of collecting and sharing knowledge to be the inspiration for the future stakeholders has been the major accomplishment which could be replicated across many other domains of work culture in the present covid-19 era of living.
What I learned
To start small but keeping the big picture in mind is the most important learning. But you have to make this start to ensure that the engine keeps moving and accelarates evenly.
What's next for The resilience to Covid-19: Food Frontiers
Expanding the network to include stakeholders in dairy from cities to villages to blocks to districts to states and countries will be the next big challenges and mission of this project.

Architecture
Inspiration
The COVID-19 crisis has created an array of problems for everyone - losing jobs, temporary unpaid leaves, and city lockdown curbing a lot of people from their jobs that revolve around getting out of their houses. This scenario has extremely affected people around the world who work for daily wages rendering them incapable to meet their daily ends. Connect aims to help daily wage workers find alternative ways to make money during the crisis.
What it does
The aim of the platform, Connect is to empower people who earn their income on a day to day basis by providing them access to jobs that might be in high demand, in their skillset and in their neighborhood restricting the travel and reducing the risk of spread.
Connect is a secure web platform where ‘people seeking alternative sources of income’ ( let’s call them job seekers) can login and find an interactive map of neighborhood to-do errands/jobs available. The jobs available are populated by job posters who are in need of services of carpenters, plumbers and so on.
If a job seeker couldn’t find a job at a particular time, he/she could post their task/service offerings via a form. A curated list of the services is made available to the job posters within his radius, made more intuitive with the interactive map. The job poster can use the service popup on the map to request for a particular service.
How we built it
The backend is built with Fastapi (Asynchronous python framework) with Postgres alongside PostGIS (Geospatial module) for data persistence. We wanted to ensure the scalability and reliability of the product rather than just making a prototype.
Coming to the frontend, it is built using Figma for UX and ReactJS integrated with interactive Google maps for the UI of the web app. The choice of React is done, as the web app made can be ported to mobile platforms (both Android and IOS), enabling a wide audience to adopt our application.
Challenges we ran into
We brainstormed and had a great challenge to design the worker flow - 'how to ensure safety by collecting government documents?' and 'how to store them securely?'
As we focused on building the idea into a scalable and reliable platform, we have spent more time in development and
hence struggled to find time with our presentation and final video demo.
What's next for Connect
Connecting with Industry Leaders/ Strategists who can direct and help with networking to promote the reach of the application.
Adding safety measures. To ensure the safety of both workers and 'who seeks service' from infection, we plan to build a model that predicts if work is safe or not. We have thought of a few signs to base the model ( yet to be brainstormed ). The following are the signs:
a. After a service, ask both parties (worker and who sought service) if the other party seems to be infected.
b. Option for the workers to intimate that he was positive for COVID-19, enabling us to warn the houses visited by the worker and urge them to take the test. And vice-versa case, if one who requested service is tested positive, notify all the workers who have visited his house.
c. Future, integrate with corona contact detect app ( many people/organizations have developed the app using Bluetooth technology. A link to more reliable one - BBC News - Coronavirus: Apple and Google team up to contact trace COVID-19
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-52246319
)
Apart from the 'job seekers', we plan to introduce a new class of entities ( Local Suppliers like groceries, essentials ) into the picture. Similar to helping job seekers connect with people in the neighborhood for job/errands; we enable the local suppliers to connect with the needs of people. Also, the local suppliers will benefit from knowing the demand in their neighborhood providing them ways to do business efficiently by selling the stuff in demand.

COVID-19 is probably the greatest crisis that we shall live to see.It not only affects the individuals but causes demise of businesses and wastage of resources for different walks of life. We believe that establishing a symbiotic relation among those deprived individuals might serve as the remedy.
What's next for Intelligent Queuing System to Combat COVID-19
On a regular day there is a wastage of resources to which people tend to turn a blind eye. By optimizing the requirement and utility of the resources can save the a large amount of money and thus help the economy recover quickly after the crisis is over. So our system will be involved in both providing relief and protection of individuals in time of the crisis and bolster the organizations after the crisis by optimizing the use of resources through the results we obtain during the crisis.

Analyzing the how the infection have spread in various part of the world, and comparing it to how people if these countries behave. I have compiled a large list of possible parameters that might affect how the infection is spreading. Comparing these parameters to different countries have allowed me to better understand the virus, without having the actual R0 value of the virus.
What it does
A simulator that predicts possible outcomes depending on parameters.
How I built it
I haven't, I am using math and physics to calculate patterns, then trying to correlate to various parameters such as infection rate, death toll, test reliability, population density, family size etc.
Challenges I ran into
Proper information on government decisions and information on amount of test done, and how the tests been prioritized.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Using these model I could predict that the first districts to be hit in Stockholm would be Rinkeby/Kista - and it worked. Before the infection came to Sweden.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/tone-of-voice-index | Tone of Voice Index: Briefly
Tone of Voice Index: Impact
The constant exposure to negative media content has a significant impact on societies on a day to day basis. Our emotional and mental climate is largely influenced by the tone of voice and the content provided by medias (including social media). The way catastrophes, such as COVID-19, has been discussed in media and the extend of false and misleading information as well as fear inciting content has caused unprecedented anxiety and influenced negatively to human behaviour. The Tone of Voice Index (ToVI) helps consumers evaluate the type of content they are up against before diving in.
Unfortunately, for many media outlets the current model favours negative and polarised content and click-baits as they generate more advertising revenues, which in turn impacts nation's state of mind; the mental and emotional climate we live in and collectively share. It increases stress and anxiety, creates "us-them" dichotomies and conflicts, and decreases productivity and subconsciously impacts decisions making.
We have created a Tone of Voice Index (ToVI), an objective and easily understood score that helps analyse, assess, and rank medias according to their tone of voice and allows consumers to evaluate what type of content they are up against before diving in.
Our AI-powered index score is generated using Natural Language Processing (NLP) which is based on Machine Learning. Our tool analyses the text-based content produced by media outlets and generates an indexable rating, which is currently based on sentiment analysis that sorts the content into positive, neutral and negative. Later, the accuracy of the index is improved by analysing the content’s polarization (polarized – neutral), stance detection (title vs. content), emotional level and source critique.
The score helps identify responsible media outlets which will be given a Quality Label, a Badge of Responsibility. A database of quality labelled medias is created to help advertisers protect their brand value.
In the first stage the tool will be created for the end user to help them automatically evaluate the content of the visited site. Later the user will be able to set preferences regarding the tone of content they want to consume and giving them the opportunity to easily avoid content that is adversarial to them. This could ignite a counter movement where individuals are demanding to take control of their news feeds and consume content from quality labelled sources only.
Our second stage of the tooling will provide utilities to media outlets to steer their content creation and provide all users, even those without our tool, benchmarks regarding the tone of their content. It would resemble the Oiva –index
https://www.oivahymy.fi/en/front-page
in use by Finnish restaurants, giving consumers a quickly recognizable way to evaluate what kind of content they are up against.
The consumer consciousness creates a strong enough group and corporate responsibility pressure, altering the tone of voice of many global media outlets into a more responsible one. The sudden disruptive turn of consumers into the guiding force of the 500-billion-dollar advertising industry marks a completely new era. The rapidly changing landscape opens new data and responsibility driven business models.
In the final stages, as the index is widely acknowledged, it would be used by ad brokers and media outlets as a classifier for how ads (and revenue) is directed, steering content creation towards more positive and consumer friendly tone of voice.

Inspiration
The world is changing. Technology progresses and everything we are accustomed to becomes unutilised. The generations are estranging from each other more than ever due to automation, and with the newly introduced quarantine this alienation will only exacerbate. Considering this, and the fact that many people worldwide do not have the access to theoretical knowledge and visual learning, our team decided that it was time for change. We were inspired by the combination of the two most important things in our lives: technology and socialization.
What it does
With the introduction of our startup “SharED”, we are merging fun, learning, and exploring all into one. This simple, yet effective program will unnoticeably be integrated into our lives, and change them for the better. “SharED”’s users will have access to hundreds of lessons, all separated by the grade and subject. The lessons will be taught by professional teachers and by pupils like us, so that even online there is a choice for preferred methods.We truly believe that the collaboration of teachers and students will aid to adopt a student-centered approach and result in meaningful and engaging learning experiences. Being high school students, we understand how important it is to take a break from all the theory and indulge into something both interesting and distracting, so we will introduce a key feature meant for that and for finding out more about the world. This feature will allow users to upload self-made videos, photos, and stories about their cities so that foreigners can see what living like a local is in different countries.
How we built it
After consulting with our team, we decided that the best way to make a library that is accessible and easy to find is by using GoogleDrive. With this software, not much effort is needed to be put in to upload materials, meaning that both our team and the users will be able to upload whatever they need with great efficiency. Teachers, students, and other users will make videos, and after reviewing the material, it will be uploaded onto GoogleDrive for others to access. The videos will be categorized by the grade and by the subject.
What we learned
We learned that working collectively is efficient, pleasant, and a good way to bring people together. This challenge gave us the opportunity to offer our solutions and to find out how well we work together.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/proper-hand-washing-with-soap-training-via-video-clips | This is Sheila demonstrating proper hand washing with soap
Inspiration
What has really inspired me is seeing how responsive the world has been to the corona virus outbreak. People are learning the necessary precaution steps to take, the primary one being hand washing with soap. All around the world people are washing their hands much more regularly than they would under normal circumstances. However, many have not learned the proper steps of washing hands with soap, hence may still carry the virus in their hands without being aware.
What it does
The training video for proper hand washing with soap trains people on how to properly wash their hands with soap, following 7 distinct steps.
Step 1: WET your hands with clean, running water, and make sure to turn off the tap (if you are using a tap). Apply soap to your hands.
Step 2: LATHER your hands by rubbing together with the soap. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, in between your fingers, and under your nails.
Step 3: SCRUB your hands for at least 20 seconds.
Step 4: SCRUB carefully in-between your fingers to remove all the dirt.
Step 5: SCRUB the insides of your hands and all around the wrists.
Step 6: RINSE your hands well under clean, running water.
Step 7: DRY your hands thoroughly. You can use the air to dry your hands.
How I built it
On a regular sink, I asked my daughter to hold the phone and take a video while I followed the 7 steps of hand washing with soap, while speaking loudly for the viewer to understand each of the steps that I was following.
Challenges I ran into
Working from home, using a regular cellphone to take the video means the quality is not very high as it would have been, if taken by a professional, using a high resolution camera.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud to have managed to produce a video that is circulating to hundreds of thousands (eventually will be millions) of people, helping them to learn ways to keep the virus completely away from their hands. Hand washing in itself is not enough, it has to be done properly, which is what this video is helping to teach.
What I learned
I have learned that it is possible to be creative and productive even during this global crisis. Using technology, useful information can be passed along and help many, especially when it's related to what is going on around the world at this moment. Also, knowledge is power and can last a lifetime! This training on proper hand washing with soap will be useful not only now, but for the rest of the lives of those who acquire the knowledge and continue to apply it.
What's next for Proper hand washing with soap - training via video clips
The very next step is to make more videos using different languages of the world, with training on proper hand washing with soap, and circulate them to people around the world through social media. And once the corona crisis is over, the next step is to do the proper hand washing with soap training in a larger scale and with large groups of people - ideally schools, religious institutions and gatherings on the streets. This way, people will be equipped with this necessary knowledge which they can continue using for the rest of their lives, having clean hands and therefore keeping themselves, families and the world at large safer and more ready to prevent transferable infections. High quality videos will be taken of these different groups of people and shared widely too, to promote proper hand washing with soap as a regular practice to be embraced by all people around the world. Hard copy flyers will be printed too, specifically for communities that are not effectively using social media. Other videos will be made in sign language to ensure deaf communities are also able to get the proper hand washing messages around the world.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/covidpass-digital-pass-for-front-liners-outside-responsibly | Inspiration
We are aware of the current novel coronavirus (Covid19) pandemic situation which has taken a lot of lives spreading across the globe. As per CDC's (WHO) suggestion, all the countries across the globe are locking down and controlling crowd movement. Social distancing will help flatten the pandemic spreading curve.
A major problem in most of the countries has been to control the crowd movement during the lockdowns & quarantine. So it's crucial to have a control mechanism that allows only the right people to move around & perform their duties. But today the permission & approval from the authorities has not been digitized or centralized everywhere. So, we are proposing an end-end solution for digitizing & centralizing the pass issue process.
What it does
We have created an easy and centralized method to request, approve & use the passes so that the people can move around during the crisis responsibly and the authorities have better data to track the movement of people.
How we built it
We build three main modules using front-end Mobile applications in iOS using Swift, Android using Kotlin, Web nuxt.js, vue.js. Backend in firebase & javascript.
CovidPass (Public) - iOS & Mobile Web apps as front end Interface for profile creation with phone validation (using OTP) and get an SSN/Govt. ID ex. Aadhaar card number (cross-check the govt. ID registered phone later in the dashboard given to authority)
CovidEnforcers - Android as frontend with the same common profile creation module & QR code scanner which will display information about the pass.
CovidCare - Web (Node.js) Support dashboard for monitoring requests for govt. authority.
Challenges we ran into
The entire system was designed & developed with the #hackthecrisisindia Hackathon last week (4-5th April 2020) conducted by Garage48. We completed a fully working solution within the hack (48hrs).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we where part of Top30 hacks of #hackthecrisisindia Hackathon by Garage48 for Hacking the crisis.
What we learned
We learned a lot for cross-technology integration and dealing with time constraints by fast prototyping from Mobile frontend & backend. We learned to enhance the most efficient & scalable backend with Lambda.
What's next for TOP30_hackthecrisisindia_CovidPass
We are adding the new feature for the Global hackathon Assessment of pass eligibility by “Health Status” & "Hotspot" of each individual who requests the passes, which helps to identify & enhance the pass approval process.

Inspiration
We are Connect Elderly. We connect seniors to their family and love ones especially now – we help them stay connected with family during the coronavirus crisis.
Our objective is to empower older adults to live a healthy and active social life that is full of interest and meaning – from the comfort of their home.
Only together can we combat the spread of COVID-19.
What it does
We are working a site featuring solutions and a community of volunteers and online manuals including a new device that is being built in Israel with teams on a a simple inter-family communication service – both through a connected kit that will connect the seniors to a web service, available across devices – computers, smartphones and tablets.
How I built it
We build an easy to use site and an community of world wide and local online volunteers that together with a call center will be able to assist the seniors get connected.
Challenges I ran into
Getting global partners like for sim cards, and online services we can send in our box for the seniors and helpers to self install.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We partner up with several startups in Israel for content for the seniors so they wont feel alone and will be connected to already made tv content for them like yoga classes, talks and more.
What I learned
We have amazing people who want to volunteer, specially young teens technology movement that I didnt know that they have so much power to help in this crisis.
What's next for Connect Elderly
We take this global. Working to scale this to more nations and also getting mobile providers to donate sim cards for the device and basically make more units.
We are also connecting young students who are volunteering to help their
elderely neighbours get connected. As we know, the seniors are the most affected
by covid-19 and are a vulnerable group. Our prototypes and site will be done in 48 hours.

What Inspired us?
The corona virus puts an extreme burden on small and local businesses in particular. Many shops have to close. No sales are generated. Businesses go bankrupt. As a result, many employees will lose their job.
Whilst many products could be sold online a lot of the owners don't know how to do that or can't afford the fees of existing marketplaces (e.g. Amazon). At the same time people are stuck at home and are looking for exactly those products online.
Our absolute priority is to help these businesses and all the people involved with them and to ensure their very existence. For this purpose, we have been working day and night and have come to the following solution, which solves these problems:
Our Solution:
An online marketplace exclusively for local stores with door-to-door delivery to customers.
So what is the impact of Covexit?
Corona increases the awareness of shop owners that they have to go online in order to exist in the short and long run. The crisis thus represents a wake-up call. On the other hand, the Corona crisis also increases the awareness that local businesses need support. Covexit's solution concept can be implemented regionally, nationally and internationally, so people all over the world benefit from the solution. In total, thousands or millions of businesses can be saved from insolvency and millions of jobs can be secured.
In addition, it is a sustainable concept that is also applicable after the Corona crisis and helps businesses to adapt to the current developments in our society.
Our Solution Approach:
1) Features:
a) Define the participating types of stores (e.g. clothing, …)
b) For every type of store: define product categories
c) Geofilter (e.g. perimeter < 20 mi)
d) Search feature for particular stores and products
e) Discover feature for local stores using interactive map
f) Pay and order features
2) Bringing companies to the platform
a) Develop guidelines on which companies can access the platform
b) Communication strategy (e.g. via business associations such as BdS or industry associations such as FdF)
c) Simple guidelines so that owners can upload their products to the platform independently
3) Bringing users to the platform
a) Communication strategy
4) Distribution strategy
a) Who delivers?
Collaboration with other Hackathon projects dealing with the delivery challenge --> Suppliers can choose one of the two options:
self-shipment of the supplier (bicycle (cargo bike), company car) if possible or
with support of the platform operator (similar to Amazon)
--> support of the platform operator: cooperation with local taxi companies, students and part-time workers can register as temporary drivers.
Exploration of existing and new delivery routes (DHL, taxi, bicycle couriers, etc.)
b) Delivery regulations (requirements for retailers and suppliers, especially virus safety)
c) Which products may be delivered?
Who should use Covexit?
Covexit is mainly aimed at small businesses that do not yet have their own online shop and that are currently not generating any sales. In addition, Covexit also offers companies that already have an online shop a great added value so that all local shops can benefit from the Covexit offer.
On the other hand, customers who want to support local shops or customers who simply want to explore shops in their area are particularly attracted by the offer. Covexit is therefore the perfect solution for every consumer who wants to help small shops to secure their existence.
Why should companies use Covexit:
Covexit offers companies a very simple way to offer their products online. Thus they generate sales again and consequently survive the corona crisis. This also saves many employees from losing their jobs.
In addition, the companies benefit from the platform's wide reach, so that they can acquire new customers in addition to their regular customers.
Even after the Corona crisis, Covexit still offers companies great added value, as online shopping becomes increasingly important. Especially younger people are shopping less and less in local stores. Covexit thus helps them to secure their long-term existence.
Why should customers use Covexit:
The Corona crisis in particular has increased the awareness of many consumers that local shops need their support and thus also the willingness to buy local products. Covexit offers them the perfect opportunity to do this. In addition, customers can easily explore the treasures of their city. Covexit is fully focused on functionality. Through its clear layout and logical structure, it is made as easy as possible for the customer to support and get to know shops in their vicinity.
Thanks to the direct product search, consumers can quickly find the products of their choice and thus purchase them easily through the platform.
Scalability
There are over 340,000 retailers in Germany. In Karlsruhe alone, for example:
537 clothing stores
274 Furniture and furnishing stores
70 bookshops
232 Jewellers
All these small businesses are affected by the crisis and fear for their existence. Millions of jobs in Germany alone depend on it... and worldwide there are many more.
But even after the Corona crisis it will be essential for the many companies to offer their products online, as the current generation predominantly shops online and at some point in time it will not be able to fall back on the older generation. Most of the retailers now have their own homepage but only a few are able to make significant sales through it. Currently only about 30% of all small and medium sized German companies own an online shop and more than half of all German companies do not sell online at all. In other countries these figures are even more significant. It is crucial to close this gap so that our beloved shops next door can survive in the future.

Our story
Stories of wars on mouth masks, doubling patients on air ventilators due to the lack of supply, patients not seeing their relatives as a result of PPE shortages are across the news. Factories are re-purposing their machines and new businesses start producing medical supplies to overcome shortages on air ventilators, masks, etc.
Products are bought without proper testing and medical facilities spend a lot of time and effort in validating new suppliers. Checking if pictures match the received box and product, whether certificates are valid, prices fall within the budget, etc. Buyers also have short decision-making time frames, need to deal with unfamiliar trade barriers, and often new governmental regulation on distribution.
Others stakeholders in the medical product supply chain are also experiencing difficulties. Doctors would like higher levels of evidence that the expert reviews they are now getting when using new materials. Distributors mentioned the issues suppliers are having with getting any type of certification. New suppliers find it difficult to get any feedback from hospitals about their new inventions.
PplCert validates medical products made by new suppliers through reviews by trusted users. The marketplace gives an insight on product quality, supplier reliability, user experience, and the overall market by crowd-sourcing data.
What's next for PplCert
Research challenge with all stakeholders of the medical supply chain sector to build value proposition. We're looking to speak with:
Product buyers and associations
Medical personnel of hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics
(Non) certified product suppliers
Government officials and PPP initiatives
Notifying bodies and science publishers

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/safepoint-0rejzf | Inspiration
Many people lack access to the correct medical information. This used to be an underlying problem people tend to put in the back of their mind when they are safe and healthy. Until the COVID-19 pandemic hit and escalated into community spread. The internet is swarmed with all kinds of misinformation. The general public is clueless about what to trust and does not know where is safe anymore while the medical professionals are fighting to send out the correct information out to the public and struggling it. Also, due to the ambiguous nature of COVID-19 and the high similarity of its symptoms, people are having a hard time telling COVID-19 and the simple flu apart. The best way to contain the virus and stop it from spreading is for the sick people, COVID-19 or not, to stay home and distance themselves from the general public. This could reduce the chance of the virus spreading and take away the uncertain factors of whether the illness is COVID-19 or not.
This prompt us to come up with a solution to help connect professionals and the general public with each other for medical information transmission, and encourage the sick people to share their location with others to help strengthen the effect of social distancing.
What it does
Safepoint allows medical professionals and sick people in need to connect for a video chat consulting session. For the patients who have successfully completed their consulting sessions with the medics, they will then be allowed to schedule a virtual appointment with the facilities to receive further examinations.
Safepoint allows sick people to notify others in their community about their location to help reduce the chance of virus spreading. This feature will be working alongside with an equal reward system: The general public will be asked to pay a small amount of fee if they wish to view the location of the sick people, and the sick people will be receiving the money as a monetary reward to thank them for their contribution and collaboration.
Safepoint collaborates with the Taiwanese authorities and follows their recommended process of tracking the sick people’s condition by a punctual email system and status updates. Once the user is confirmed to have recovered from flus, diseases, or even COVID-19
, we will remove their data from our database.
What's next for Safepoint
The immediate next step for Safepoint is to establish concrete and clear rules for the three types of users, the medics, the sick people, and the general public, to ensure the utmost security for the users’ privacy as we are dealing with sensitive data here.
Following up, the current version of Safepoint is a functional prototype that focuses on its features. Since Safepoint has a relatively complete design, the next move for Safepoint will be to build the product by implementing the design and to recruit medical facilities to join the platform. For the medical facilities, we will be asking them to try out Safepoint while we aim to understand and manage their opinions on the product via CRM. The purpose of this usability testing trial is to ensure that Safepoint matches up to what the medical facilities need before we openly market the product to the general public.
At a moment like this, we not only need to figure out a way to control the disease, we also need to make sure human activities can maintain at a minimum workforce. In order to do so, roadblocks, lockdowns, and restrictions will not be the ultimate solution. Safepoint’s value behind our solution stands on top of the belief of the good in humanity. We can unite together, provide ease to each other, and make things easier by sharing, caring, and develop more self-awareness in our daily lives.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/dfl | Inspiration (The Problem)
The world is under lock-down. IMF estimates that the world GDP will contract by 7% in the first half of 2020, we can all help to reduce that number by collectively sharing our data for actionable insights. The current state of affairs has led to restrictions in people’s movement and the fear of being infected with the virus as well as the new technology used for contact tracing and surveillance, has instilled privacy concerns. The solution is ready for deployment within a month.
LACK OF DATA DUE TO PRIVACY CONCERNS HAMPERS EFFECTIVE MEASURES AGAINST THE SPREAD:
To find the most effective way of fighting the pandemic and its adverse effects on society and to understand how to prevent future outbreaks, we need data. This data is to a great extent missing today. Amid a public crisis or emergency, people want to help and can do so by explicitly consenting to contributing e.g. their medical and location data. However, several issues are holding them back. Amongst other things, there is a lack of trust and transparency in the way their data may be used, and no easy way for people to contribute and control their data, through a lack of tooling. The lack of legal clarity around data sharing also needs to be overcome.
LACK OF RELIABLE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE FOR EFFECTIVE PUBLIC HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS:
To combat the spread of the virus, some countries, have recommended basic protective measures such as washing your hands, self-isolating if signs of symptoms and avoiding contact with immune-compromised people. However, according to some sources, as many as 80% of people who have contracted COVID-19 may not know it as they have no or only mild symptoms.
INEFFECTIVE MEASURES BY AUTHORITIES DUE TO THE LACK OF DATA:
During any emergency, a society may become paralyzed due to uncertainty and fear. This will result in far-reaching social and economic consequences beyond the spread of the disease itself. Sub-optimal use of public resources comes from having a lack of accurate data on which to make decisions, for example, instructions on public lockdown, testing and sanitization of infection hot-spots. Lack of data results in authorities having to locking down entire regions and restricting people’s freedom beyond what could otherwise be limited to only infected areas.
What it does (The Solution)
A MEANS FOR CITIZENS TO CONTRIBUTE THEIR DATA WITHOUT HAVING TO COMPROMISE THEIR PRIVACY:
(privacy by design). With Data4Life people are empowered to decide how their data is collected, shared and used. Data that is shared for the public good is shared anonymously and sharing is based on explicit consents that can be revoked at any time. Data4Life is not only a COVID-19 solution. It is a platform that can be used for any crisis or emergency at local, regional or national level using the power of many to build post COVID-19 resilience.
RISK SCORING AND ALERTS:
The Data4Life solution notifies people if they are at risk of being infected and recommends a course of action without compromising people's privacy and data subject rights according to the GDPR. With this solution we can reduce the number of asymptomatic transmitters who unknowingly (and unwittingly) are spreading the virus and thereby save lives. By contributing data for the public good, public health recommendations can be fine-tuned: for example, by understanding immunity levels, natural or immunized, in the local community or nationally, lockdowns can be enforced or lifted. With citizens donating their data for science, researchers can also get a critical mass of data to prevent future pandemics. If the user’s risk parameters change, the system notifies the user to perform the risk analysis again. Example, it could give a higher risk score due to the person having visited an infection hotspot or have been in contact with an infected person.
HELP AUTHORITIES AND GET SOCIETY BACK ON ITS FEET:
With appropriate quality data, authorities can take effective measures, make informed decisions about the optimal use of public resources, for example, planning sanitization efforts, the sourcing of vaccine and staffing at elderly care facilities). Lockdowns can be limited to where it is needed and people can get back to leading a normal life, faster.
How we built it
On the client side, it supports three kinds of users: 1) Organisation data admins 2) Citizens and 3) Developers.
All Data4Life APIs are exposed as RESTful APIs, that can be accessed via Bearer access tokens. The solution relies on a mobile phone at the beginning, an OTP-based login solution. In future admins can only login via advanced authentication (LoA3).
The platform is built on a concrete, consent-centric architecture supporting privacy by design and compliance with the GDPR. It uses iGrant.io Open APIs and services for this purpose.
Key aspects of the solution also include, algorithms for risk assessment calculations based on various personal data parameters, area risk ranking, historical and current location data analysis, privacy centric contract tracing (using DP-3T protocol) for personal wellness status assessment.
The users can perform
Risk Assessment
with the following data:
Age:
is the age of the citizen
Wellness status:
is calculated based on a survey. This can be localized for any country.
Health status:
requires the individual to upload a certificate of immunity or certificate of having done tests with results verified from health authorities or test kit manufacturers using a SSI (Self Sovereign Identity) based verification method.
Current location data:
is used to notify the user in case the person visited an identified hotspot recently. It also alerts if he person has been in contact with an infected person.
Historic location data:
used for risk analysis could be manually entered or could be uploaded from google, facebook, telecom operators and any other third parties where an individual might have that data.
Contact tracing data:
We are also integrating the contact tracing SDK created by the DP-3T project (short for Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing). This contact tracing protocol created by leading academics from all over Europe embraces privacy-by-design and data minimization principles. We have high hopes of this solution becoming a standard across Europe (or at least heavily influencing an eventual standard). When Apple and Google contact tracing APIs are released, we could replace this with those APIs.
What we did during the hackathon weekend?
We built a flutter based user app that connects to the iGrant.io (consent management and personal data exchange platform) backend APIs. This is used to make an iOS and Android app ready for playstore and appstore now.
Enabled DP-3T protocol for a privacy centric contact tracing as a new parameter for performing risk analysis
Got the authority admin dashboard connected to backend APIs after authentication
Got the verification of health certificates as an additional option to be added into the app
The value of your solution(s) after the crisis
Data4Life is an interactive platform whereby citizens can share their data for their own and public good, without compromising their privacy rights.
Data4Life secures a more resilient post COVID-19 society that embraces the freedom of movement as the app can be used also as a health passport that e.g. grants access to work places or facilitates travel. With the solution, individuals and authorities gets actionable insights that can bring normalcy back in our lives.
The platform is not just for the current corona crisis we are in. The platform could be used for any pandemic or natural calamities.
The necessities in order to continue the project
Need access to different data sources for validated and reliable data on hotspots so people can use the app. With a local authority as a data processor, we can easily access verified information on infected individuals. We need to align with data owners to get access to APIs and shorten lead times for handling Data Subject Rights.
Get legal backing and regulatory vetting, again use a community driven approach to improve on what we have built so far. We now have a draft legal paper around the method we have used that need further vetting.
Need to get a crowd-sourced view among data scientist community to improve our hotspot algorithms, risk analysis etc. based on what we have built so far. The risk analysis algorithm will be fine tuned further adding new parameters as we find them.
Need to partner with various self test suppliers to include unique codes with the tests that will serve as quality control for self reporting.
Address the global multi stakeholder engagement gap. For evidence-based innovation (treatments, effective public health recommendations etc) we need coordination among existing public institutions on local, national and international level as well as with data sources and data using entities
Accomplishments that we are proud of
Over the past 2.5 years, we have built iGrant.io, a consent mediation and data exchange platform as per the new data regulations emerging worldwide. This formed an important foundation to address privacy- and freedom of movement concerns in this hackathon. By harnessing the power of many we have created a solution where citizens and institutions can combat COVID-19 by working together.
Managed to float an
open source initiative
, Data4Life, to bring in privacy and human centric solution and got a core group of developers to support it
The team is part of the MyData community that advocates a human centric approach to use of personal data in digitalization. The team has been a contributor in defining and founding the MyData operator group.
Got a team of legal and regulatory specialists, healthcare consultants, privacy experts and technologists involved. We also got organisations working in this space involved; iGrant.io, MyData Sweden, Aigine etc.
We were runner up in the HackTheCrisis Hackathon in Sweden (save lives - digital category) (3-6 April, 2020) and made the top 10 in the Global Hack two weeks ago.
What we learned
We need to allow for different data sources for historic data, continuously improve and align the health status algorithm and mechanisms (by following public recommendations in different countries), align identity on-boarding with national solutions etc. We also need to continuously iterate on our risk ranking algorithm based on surveys etc.

We were inspired by the efforts of doctors around the world, especially in Italy and Spain, in countering Coronavirus.
And they came to the decision to use our latest developments in increasing the effectiveness of drugs at the micro level to support their efforts.
What it does
We use of nanoscale carriers for targeted drug delivery helps to quickly and effectively increase the biomedical effects of existing antiretroviral medicine and reduce their toxicity. This side of the project can also be used to increase efficiency and reduce the dose of drugs in other areas, in particular, oncology.
The technology for creating nanocomposites magnetic nanoparticle-antiviral drug includes the selection of a biocompatible coating of magnetite nanoparticles having a high affinity for the drug, obtaining a stable suspension of modified nanoparticle coating and the creation of a nanoparticle-drug complex.
Technical processes for creating nanocomplexes modified MCH preparations were developed and tested on the system of magnetite nanoparticles - sodium citrate - doxorubicin. The work will focus on finding a suitable coating for optimal landing on the surface of many promising antiviral drugs.
How I built it
For the last six months we have been conducting laboratory tests. created mathematical models and improved technology. We found the result through a series of continuous improvements.
Challenges I ran into
Main technological problem was the selection of a coating of nanoparticles to obtain stable complexes with a high degree of drug loading.
In the course of the research, we plan to select the necessary coverage for several types of antiretroviral drugs. After that, in partnership with drug manufacturers, the product can be put into use.
The main technological problem is solvable, since there is a very wide selection of substances with different chemical structures and properties that can serve as a coating for nanoparticles. It is also possible to use magnetic nanoparticles of a different type.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Over the past 2 years, our team has developed 2 innovative health care products. Among my personal achievements over the past 5 years are team leadership and participation in the development of 8 new innovative or improved technologies in various fields - from healthcare to energy.
Among them: 1) an improved version of the bionic prosthesis of the hand; 2) a platform for teaching creativity for teachers; 3) an online patient monitoring system using personal diagnostic bracelets used in the UNICEF project in Malawi (Africa); 4) an improved version of the ambulance; 5) industrial plants for purification from radiation and desalination of sea water; 6) biodegradable plastic; 7) a system for cleaning materials at industrial enterprises; 8) improved weather forecast system
What I learned
You can always find a solution for any situation. In my projects, working as a team, I was often not an expert in the new technology being developed - since it came from a different field. Nevertheless, our team always, through hundreds of trial and error, managed to come to a result. I believe that the combined efforts of innovators around the world can quickly stop Kronavirus and prepare all of Humanity for similar challenges in the future.
What's next for Magnetic nanoparticles against COVID-19
Our project is capable of producing a result in a few months - improving the effectiveness of antiretroviral medicine.
This effect can be used everywhere in the treatment of many diseases. Once the Coronavirus epidemic is over, our technology can help treat cancer. By increasing the effectiveness of the drugs, their doses can be reduced. many drugs used in oncology and against viruses are toxic. Reducing their dosage will improve well-being and extend the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world.

Inspiration
Given the stringent measures and personal importance of ‘social distance’, there is increasing anxiety at shoppers with regards to going into crowded stores, and government enforcement to comply with measures on a maximum number of clients in stores. Also, store-staff feels uncomfortable in managing these restrictions.
What it does
Grocery stores can facilitate social distancing into the store by using online scheduling tools to help shoppers reserve spots.
With regards to scheduling shopping-trip-slots, we consider working with selected partners.
For example, OpenTable thinks that retailers can use a light version of Opentable software (app or web) to manage how many people retailer wants to allow in at any period of time/location of the store. Then retailers could put an HTML booking widget on their website, Opentable could also feature them in the app (in 8 countries) so Opentable diners can make a reservation to visit the store. Opentable could also put this inventory into their other channels. Lots of possibilities.
Alternatives are Qudini (
www.qudini.com
) who have a solution for footfall orchestration specifically designed for High Street retail (they are offering to install for free and waive license fees “until the crisis passes”) and/or Atobi (
www.atobi.com
), a staff engagement tool to enable real-time engagement with store staff.
Capgemini will manage the solution and its integrations.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/blood-deliver-drone | IF YOU’RE INCLINED to puns, you might say medical samples are the lifeblood of hospital systems. But if you actually work with them, you know they’re more of a headache. Because the same road traffic that keeps you from getting home keeps the couriers charged with moving these tissue and blood samples, collected by the millions daily and often in urgent need of analysis, from completing their missions.
Medical drones help create a more efficient healthcare supply chain
From Emily's perspective, using a drone to expedite her blood test makes sense intuitively. From a business perspective, though, medical drones will do more than decrease lab turnaround time; they may also make the healthcare supply chain more efficient. “Using drones to bring blood and other diagnostic specimens from medical facilities to central labs may provide faster, more predictable turnaround of test results, and more efficient lab operations,” says Chris Cassidy, UPS president of Global Healthcare and Life Sciences Strategy. The learnings from this program will inform how healthcare technology can be applied to improve transportation services at other hospitals. “This technology allows hospital systems to transport medical items at an unprecedented level of speed and predictability, resulting in improved patient care and operational savings,”

During the last outbreak of corona virus , millions of people lost their ability to freely go to hospitals to diagnose themselves for whatever symptoms they have doubts of.
many of them are having doubts of having the COVID-19 symptoms , but not sure where to go or whome to ask , because going out there might have the opposite effect and make it easier for the virus to spread .
Here comes the idea , instead of spreading the virus over the world , why not spreading the doctors to access every running mobile ?
It will be so great if the patients feel free to have guidance from the doctors without going out of their homes .
And it will help rising the community medical awareness by answering people who have doubts in themselves for when they feel sick .
Our project provides both , the doctors and the patients the ability to communicate over the system and have the right and reliable consultation for the patients , which we noticed in the last outbreak to be very helpful .
A lot of doctors wanted to provide the community with their knowledge and help rising people awareness of medical issues to have their life better .
We Are providing them the chance to contribute and help in such a great mission .
What it does
Doctors
have the great part of the system , they are meant to be answering and mentoring the patients to guide them to the right diagnose for their states .
The system depends mainly on the valuation process , more stars a doctor have as a feedback from his patients will lead to more reliability and confidence between the patients and the doctor .
The system is divided into many section , each represents a field in the health sector, each section has supervisors managing the coming questions and consultations to redirect them to the right doctors to answer and interact with a live chat with the patient who posted a question .
of course , the supervisors must approve or disprove the final decision made by the doctor to the patient after the chat he had with hem .
How I built it
Its not yet determined , we are planning to build it with laravel for the initial deployment , after that it may be necessary to rewrite it to enhance the performance . | Doctorona | A Medical social network ? spreading like a virus !

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/remotesocietynow | Latest update (18 May 2020)
Five advanced student programmers from Helsinki University Computer Science Department ("The Home of Linux") have just joined the RemoteSocietyNow project!
Inspiration
Remote work = CO2 down.
Remote work & remote life can become new key efforts in limiting CO2 emissions. We have been forced into an experiment. A unique opportunity to leapfrog over polluting legacy life modes to remote work and "remote everything".
The problem our project solves
Remote work = CO2 down = our planetary life support system survives.
"Take two problems and combine into a bigger solution". Climate change, the virus crisis and work revolution combined! The troublesome Climate Change isn't being taken urgently or seriously. Perhaps it's too big to do something about? Well, now we have something you CAN do; stay home and enjoy while doing it!
Key task: Make Remote Work a Tool Against Climate Change! Get decision makers onboard the idea.
Key finding: Calculation of benefits is possible and reveals big potential which be realized immediately.
Potential impact: Big shift in the way society works, globally.
Ambition level: Save the Planet.
Core interest: Climate.
The solution(s)
Remote work = new tool to make CO2 go down.
An advocacy project based on scientific evidence, AND a business model helping companies make savings and increase productivity! We validate real data which makes sense for business (they save time and expenses because travel is decreased, and ultimately office rent and heating etc. expenses go down)
It also makes sense for governments. For example tax incentives or even emission trading credits for remote work that can be shown to be energy efficient and lessen emissions.
The most enjoyable way to save the planet - remote work !
-- We validate the assumptions and make calculations of the environmental and business benefits of remote work (and remote life by extension). Then- convince society, businesses and governments of the benefits.
We offer tools, dashboards and calculators to inform yourself to 1) reduce business CO2 emissions AND 2) increase company profit AND 3) increase employee wellbeing.
The practical business is implemented through:
-Remote Work benefit calculator which we designed.
-Toolbox for remote work.
-Services for remote work (training & consulting etc).
-Certificate for companies implementing remote work.
-Emission credit trading (a future development).
-Joint ventures.
-Applying for and/or managing public projects (with public-private financing)
Done during the weekend 24-27 April 2020
The project (called FutureSocietyNow) was initially formed earlier this year. In the EU vs Virus hackathon we:
-Designed two Remote work Benefit Calculators (the math & logic for companies and individuals) for onboarding companies, individuals, as well as society's decision makers.
-Got climate science evidence and data directly from several experts.
-Received important feedback from EU officials and experts.
-Developed the business model.
-Recruited team members.
-Got one or two new cooperation partners (discussions have started)
-Upgraded two experimental websites as platforms.
The solution’s impact to the crisis
Remote work = CO2 and other emissions go down.
Making significant contribution towards solving climate change by formulating a systematic tool for it (Remote Work), thereby potentially changing the lives of hundreds of millions of people. If not the whole planet. Acting as a catalyst for a shift in society.
Challenges we ran into
The topic is huge and complex - that's why systemic thinking and data validation is needed. To conquer the elephant as we are blindfolded and only touch the trunk or the tail.
The necessities in order to continue the project
Some funding to improve the business model, platform and software.
Climate and environmental science expertise, and coding & UX design expertise.
Contacts to EU and other decision makers.
The value of the solution(s) after the crisis
Remote work & remote life mode = CO2 down.
If and when our model, data and methonds are validated in the larger community and experiments, it can help create more resilient, more efficient societies. And help avert the climate crisis. Remote, distrubuted organization is also stronger agains epidemics. Leaping to a new mode, discarding the outdated working modes of the smokestack industry era!
Scalability: If one company can use remote work to reduce X units of emissions, create Y units of savings and increase employee wellbeing by Z units, 1 000 000 similar companies can create approximately 1 million X, 1 million Y and 1 million Z.
Bigger picture:
Remote work = CO2 down.
“Covid crisis created an opportunity to recalculate all economic activity, and their contrubution to climate change and pollution.”
“Covid crisis created opportunity to reconsider how society is organized: chance to leap over ineffective legacy modes from smokestack industrial era.”
“Covid crisis forced us to stay home – now we can keep staying home! And not go back to the old normal.”
What's next for RemoteSocietyNow
Join us to work on it! And help us with EU contacts!
Form remote work into a tool and method, to make CO2 levels go down!
The most enjoyable way to fight climate change.

We see some area organizing around piece of paper and we have the feeling that a digital solution will help many people.
What it does
Covhelp is an application that creates relations between neighbors. They will be able to chat and organize some help for immunocompromised, sick or old people to provide them prescription, food, wifi etc.
How I built it
Covhelp is a mobile application as well as a web application and an automatic call center. We built it with React Native (Javascript language) as you can have iOS, android and web at once. For the bot call center we are building it with dialogflow and voxengine.
For the backend we choose firebase as there is a big free-tiers.
Challenges I ran into
Develop a solution for everyone (young and old people). Since elderly people do not use app or web app, we had to develop a bot call center for them.
Fit people needs, make an application easy to use and pick relevant services (groceries, pharmacy, dog walking, wifi etc).
The last challenge is the submission to the apple store and google play as they don't accept content related to Covid19. On the App store it's available and on Google Play is still in progress.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are proud to have built a 360° solution for everyone and an application which has a very nice UX/UI in such a short time.
It was great that Covhelp connects very well with SDG3, SDG10, SDG17.

Inspiration for Nuru.Live
What is happening in your community?
Do you have water? Are there shortages? How are people being kind to each other? Are there cases of COVID-19 in your area? How are you surviving? Do people know what to do?
Nuru
- Kiswahili for “Light “ (
link
) - is a platform that allows citizen community monitors around the world to make observations about the social and human rights impact of crises as the Covid-19 pandemic.
What Nuru.live does
Using the Nuru.live App, a user is able to report in real-time, using their own words by attaching and sharing photos, voice recording, text, tags and geo coordinates of their current reporting location. These are then uploaded from the app to the Nuru.live portal, so that the public can be able to access the reports. Reports can be viewed from [Nuru.live/feedback].
In consultation with other players in the Civil Society and Government circles, we were able to figure out the major issues that would be facing communities especially in low-income areas. With that in mind, the platform uses a crowdsourcing approach, providing real-time information that can be analyzed and utilized to influence policy. The information from a wide range of communities will highlight what their specific needs and challenges are, especially with regard to critical and basic needs.
How we built it
The client-side application is built in Android for the Mobile App and PHP for the web platform, using Leaflet.js to map user posts.
Challenges we ran into
The main challenge that we have faced has been how to rapidly develop an iOS version of the Nuru.live Mobile App. We are also facing challenges getting a good UI/UX developer for a clean and functioning template for both the Mobile App and the Website.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The Nuru App as a tool has creating an avenue allowing citizen monitors to share observations and reports from their communities to inspire other communities, to call for help, to alert the government and other stakeholders on things that need to be addressed in the community as we all fight COVID-19. Reports could share information on these issues and more:
The availability of water & sanitation
The high cost of food and necessities
Poverty and the in-availability of a basic income
Random acts of kindness in communities
Interesting local solutions that exist in communities
Lack of adequate contextually actionable information
Plus much more
What we learned
Vulnerable communities lead to vulnerable countries in times of nationwide crises, bringing truth to the saying “you are only as strong as your weakest link.” Nuru helps communities exercise their voice so that no one is left behind in finding solutions and everyone is involved in fighting the spread of COVID-19.
What's next for Nuru.live
We aim to improve our reporting module with interactive and engaging infographics. We will also be adding social media sharing options to enable users to share their reports directly to social media, or to share these directly from the app, the moment they are posted.
We aim to improve our notification service with more localized information for the users especially in relation to tags they might have shown interest in.
We aim to add translation options to the app and to the web portal since we are only at the inception stages.
We will engage in more user engagements and interviews to further refine our reporting reach and to better provide avenues through which the citizens can get any required assistance, and better help people possibly affected by COVID-19.

My company has been thinking about positive incentive design and issues pertaining to social goods for the last three years. This hackathon and the global challenge that we are facing are both a natural fit for us to apply our thoughts. We found a coder and UX designer and got started only a couple of hours before the deadline!
To combat COVID-19, we believe that incentivizing people to stay within their cities/towns can help limit the long-term rate of infection. We also recognize that this will have a disastrous impact on many local economies, especially brick-and-mortar stores. We wanted to figure out a way to both reward people for staying within their home areas while also ensuring that when restrictions are lifted, local economies can thrive. This is especially important for cities that are dependent on tourism.
What it does
Our solution is an application that rewards people for staying within their geolocation. These rewards are in the form of local discounts, which will be rolled out over time in accordance with local regulations in order to promote the economies of local communities. The longer that people stay within their city confines, the more rewards they earn.
How I built it
We will build this on Flutter.
Challenges I ran into
Finding a team.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of

What I learned
There's lots of people working on innovative solutions to make the world a better place. And that quarantine can be an opportunity for disruption!

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/cellstraint | Every individual belongs to a network linked together by recent physical interactions.
Vaah.to helps users to self-govern physical proximity in their social networks
Vaah.to is intuitive to use and removes social stigma from reporting symptoms
Vaah.to can be integrated to ticket and table reservation systems and similar to increase safety
Increased by segregating passengers by their extended social groups. Same mechanism can be applied to theaters, churches etc.
Vaah.to is different from other proximity tracing and symptom reporting apps by actively directing and incentivizing user behavior.
Problem
Extensive testing and proximity tracing helps us to decide where we should be on a line between
full lockdown
(
economic crisis
) and
no restrictions
(
public health crisis
). Without fundamental changes in social and consumer behavior, all spots on this line are bad.
Behavior-directing digital solution requires a bottom-up approach and a clear and immediate benefit to businesses and individuals.
Solution
Every individual belongs to a network linked together by recent physical interactions. Managing the size of these networks is essential in controlling the outbreak.
Vaah.to
(Eng.
foam
) is an app that accelerates the easing of restrictions and economic regrowth by allowing users to self-govern physical proximity in their social networks.
Each distinct network - the Cell - has a unique code. This code that can be used by service providers from restaurants, movie theaters and churches to railway companies to allocate space and time in a way that minimizes physical interaction and proximity between different Cells.
Our bottom-up approach to reach critical mass is:
Local:
Nationally prominent and ubiquitous service providers like
VR
(Finnish railway company) and
Finnair
(Finnish airline) integrate the solution and push it to their customer bases.
Regional:
Early adopter cities and municipalities accelerate local economic regrowth by promoting the solution to local businesses.
National:
Regional validation and ease of deployment spreads the system nationally and draws governmental and legislative support.
Global:
National success spreads the system to other countries where the cycle starts from the beginning (e.g.
DB
and
Lufthansa
).
So far we have initiated discussions with multiple Finnish spearhead partners like VR. Our prospects have over 62 million combined annual customer & visitor engagements in Finland alone (country of 5 million people).

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/eduemp-platform | We believe that education innovation projects would help to revive the economy after the damage done by COVID-19 outbreak. Since knowledge, information and experience are cornerstones to the society and economy, we see that the cooperation of education institutions and businesses should become more systematic.
We see two problems in this field that need a solution:
• Education is not accessible to everyone due to different limitations
• A university diploma does not guarantee a successful career
We wish to create a solution that would enable the university programmes and employers’ needs and expectations be in accordance, eg programmes taught in the universities would give future employees the skills and knowledge needed for work. That would create skilled workforce for businesses in need which is a win-win situation for everyone.
The platform will bring together students, universities and businesses, so that every curricula and university degree has value on the job market. Universities will partner up with businesses for feedback on university programmes. Universities specify skills and knowlegde acquired in every subject/programme; students join the platform and specify which programme they are on and businesses join the platform with different vacancies and skills required to fill them. When employers' desired skills and students' portfolio align, we have a match.

Introduction
In these difficult times we already have a lot of tools that provides ever growing charts, birds eye view maps with red dots/locations, etc. to cover situation outside. While these tools are useful for professionals, for ordinary people it says not that much. He or she have much more personal questions about the situation we are in, like "What about my environment ?", "Since this outbreak started, places I visited were safe?" etc. These are important questions to answer and to do so, it is possible only with personalized data.
Our teams' main goal was to investigate if we can answer these questions with data that already exists and accurate enough to make informative recommendations. To solve this problem there is a need to have active/passive tracking system to tackle case by case COVID-19 location cases without impacting too much of peoples day to day activities and privacy. What if it would be possible to do so without installing any additional apps and having accurate location service to check on. And apparently it is! With Google Timeline:
Google Maps Timeline
service have enormous data set of places where people been on any given time frame. If such big data set could be used to identify COVID-19 cases and their whereabouts in past weeks, it could be possible to build service that checks if anyone been in potentially contaminated places. Based on that non medical recommendations could be given and directions to local health authorities provided.
Its very simple to use our system: no additional apps to install (if you already have Google Maps), just make sure you "
Location History
" is enabled. After this is done, download
PVG chrome extension
which will be able to check your location against our database of potentially infected people. If you already diagnosed as COVID-19 positive, you could serve good cause and upload your location history of past three weeks. NO identifiers required and all privacy aspects are respected.

Privacy VS Germs Extension
How we built it (+team)
Idea was pitched among friends on 2020-03-26. No surprise that a bunch of good old friends volunteered to take a part in it. We started at Swiss based hackaton codeVScovid19 where we built basic concept which formed main building block, in Hack The Crisis Denmark we have introduced new features and in The Global Hack we have worked on email privacy cases and tried to solve data issues.
Guy who keeps mood and enthusiasms alive:
Justas Cepenas - initial idea
Data Science Team:
Simona Kaveckaite - data models and PowerBI
Engineering Team:
Tautvydas Versockas - back-end hacker
Mindaugas Jurgelaitis - back-end guru
Laura Silvanaviciute - front-end super-star (and you should definitely check her performance:
https://youtu.be/hqWIdaAjdmI?t=1985
How cool is that?)
Creative Team:
Inga Lasauske - creative lead
Tech. stack was on purpose chosen to have good compromise of rapid development and scalability in mind, hence DB is
ElasticSearch
, backend -
node.js
, frontend(chrome extension) -
Angular 9
, number crunching -
PowerBI
, hosting in
AWS cloud
.
As our main data source we choose
Google Maps Timeline
. This is the backbone of our system. Data is already there, all we had to do it is to take it, present it nicely to user and transform it to make this data alive.
Though out the global hack hackaton:
Backend validations and data correctness
Privacy oriented workflows. Email based management without storing any sensitive data:
Gliffy Diagram
User experience changes and additional features
Data model enhancements. Discussions with mentors about AI applications
User interface survey conducted
Begin to actively contact positive cases by phone
System is able to access approximated locations
Email authorization system developed
Data model was expanded to facilitate aprox. Locations
Explanatory video and pdf guidelines were created
Challenges we ran into
Google Maps does not provide any API or access points to users Timeline (Location History) data. When you look up and see our teams' description, there are no surprises that we found a way how to extract this data in systematic way and most important respecting all privacy requirements.
As have created our main goal as "privacy first" we had a lot of discussions how to full preserve it. In attached files you will see proposed architecture of storing locations data without having any identifiers that can lead to locations stored.
Accomplishments that we are proud of
We managed to build quite complex data models that are based on feedback given by medical professionals. And to wrap all technicalities we have beautiful visuals for you to enjoy.
Improved privacy properties was this weeks highlight which makes this POC even more closer to end product.
What we learned
With a good team quarantine weekend can be fun and very productive!
What's next for Privacy VS Germs
Just a simple fact that we can have data base of 3 weeks whereabouts of infected people opens up a lot of thoughts for future development. just few to mention:
We built our system with Open API in mind, that means that and service can provide us set locations and we will be able to tell if given data set collide with our records.
As database for infected peoples' location history increases such resource can be valuable for very complex virus spread modeling. We could potentially identify source clusters, infection spreading patterns, etc.
As we do have history of every movement, we could identify travels from abroad and other more advanced location change patterns.

The Green Spotter team is inspired by the seemingly universal and heightened sense of community that has risen out of the current global pandemic crisis. We want to empower civilians to build environmentally conscious futures, by connecting people to each other through local sustainability initiatives.
We are personally invested in the issue of food waste. During the COVID-19 crisis, establishments that under normal circumstances feed many, now find themselves with an excess supply and don’t have the network to redirect their supply chain.
All of our team members are immersed in different elements of community building through technology and sustainability engagement practices. Our team members’ diverse backgrounds in sustainability, marketing, art technology, engineering, web development, and UX/UI design has enabled our group of four to come together and actualize our project: Green Spotter.
What it does
Our platform, Green Spotter, helps users connect with other people and sustainability initiatives in their communities.
How we built it
We researched hundreds of sustainable topics and solutions in order to begin and expand our database. With over 200 sustainability solutions captured so far, our platform has the potential to grow into a larger global network. So far, we have catalogued and categorized solutions on every major continent.
Challenges we ran into
As a team, we ran into a few technical challenges during this hackathon. We encountered some roadblocks while figuring out how to transition from an interface design to a live website. We also spent time understanding how to link our database on the backend to our website. We also had to troubleshoot how to address queries that add an input into our database when suggestions are sent in. Last, we faced some challenges in editing our pitch script for time. Ultimately, by utilizing all of our individual skills, our team was able to overcome these obstacles.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of what our team was able to achieve in this short time, collaborating easily on all aspects of our pitch and prototype despite the distance between us. While many of us are physically apart, this worldwide pandemic has brought local and global communities together. Our team is inspired to continue to nurture this sense of community with the platform we’ve built together.
What we learned
As a team whose interests lie in sustainability, we enjoyed the research and data compilation portion of this project because we discovered a wealth of innovative and novel environmental solutions we had not considered before embarking on this project.
What's next for Green Spotter
The Green Spotter team is excited to continue developing our database and user platform. We want to expand our database and market our platform to encourage user generated content. We want Green Spotter to grow into a larger network in which users add their own solutions to the platform.

With Don't Touch Men, I am focussing on a particular issue related to the spread of COVID-19: Avoiding to touch your face. During video conferences and on social media I noticed a lot of people are touching their faces without realizing it. I developed a prototype to nudge people away from this behavior.
What it does
Its function is basically to alert you when your hand is near your face. It runs in the browser, Chrome recommended.
How I built it
It is based on a Tensorflow machine learning model (BodyPix). More information is on
the repository on Github
.
Challenges I ran into
I am currently switching from the first quick prototype to a faster and more reliable detection.
What's next for Don't Touch Men (Mouth Eyes Nose)
To go from prototype to a wider audience I would look for roles like Data Scientists and Product Managers (how can we make a product out of this), Designers (how to educate people), Mobile / Backend / API developers (to include the detection into videoconferencing products), Testers.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/device-donation-network | Problem
In Italy, 14% of families with a child do not have a tablet or PC. Due to the pandemic, the entire country now switched to remote learning, resulting in children being left out or having to follow lectures from a smartphone. Many other families around Europe either don’t have any computer or need to share one device between several children or with a parent who is also working from home.
At the same time, there are thousands of people and organisations who have unused desktop computers, laptops and tablets laying around, and could either lend or donate them so children can continue their studies during the crisis period and continue getting good-quality education in the future.
Solution
We want to learn from the experience of the Estonian pilot project “A computer for every student” which, in the past 3 weeks, shipped more than 1,000 computers. In Estonia, the project already managed to help all families in need by just using forms and spreadsheets, however this is not efficient enough on a larger international scale.
Now, we want to bring this project to other countries but we would need to build a software where:
Teachers and school principals (on behalf of the students) can show their interest and request devices, and leave their contact details
People and organizations can let us know what devices they have available
We can verify teachers and school principals

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/wanted-seasonal-workers-in-agriculture-jq4mx3 | Why?
While the virus is having a halting effect on our lives, it has none on the seasons. Spring has reached the Northern hemisphere marking the
beginning of a busy season in agriculture
– a period where hiring in large numbers is an absolute necessity.
The share of immigrant labour among both skilled and seasonal workforce in this sector is a well-know secret in most parts of the world. Many workers left during the outbreak of the crises, but most were just getting ready to come. Except that now,
borders are closed, and ironically, national food security now falls on the shoulders of locals
– those who have never had any interest and lack skills to take on this line of work.
At the same time,
unemployment is on the rise in many other sectors
, figures on payslips are diminishing and workers are forced to accept unpaid vacations for the unseen future. How to bridge these problems?
How to get locals with reduced working hours to contribute to this season’s harvest and our local food supply?
What we are looking into
This is not only an issue that could be solved solely with a job-exchange platform. The agricultural sector is in need of workforce in different, sometimes remote regions. We need to think of related concerns – the travel restrictions, risk of contagion, food safety, etc. To make it happen, we also need strong communication tools and effective behavioural incentives (nudges) to boost the attractiveness of the sector that has during the economic prosperity been viewed as the turf for either minors or immigrants.
Directions that we are going to explore:
1) “Labour exchange” logic and supporting platform. How to hire effectively, raising the likelihood of
finding suitable workforce that is informed and prepared for what waits ahead?
2) How to nudge people to take up a job in agriculture?
3) How to make the work processes COVID-19 safe? | Wanted!

Quick implementation of the system, as well as swiftly adapting to the current conditions is a response to social needs and above all, to the crisis situation which Poles find themselves in.
What it does
Our application is obligatorily installed by Poles under epidemiological supervision. Every day they have to take and send one or several photos within 20 minutes after receiving an SMS. Commands are sent out by surprise to check the actual whereabouts of the controlled person. The software uses a face comparison system and geolocation technology
How we built it
TakeTask mainly creates software that is used to assign, perform and verify large-scale tasks in multiple locations simultaneously. Using this experience, in March 2020, the company, on the basis of the already existing system, developed a mobile application for the Polish government to monitor home quarantine.
Challenges we ran into
The technical infrastructure was adapted to the needs of the Ministry of Digitalisation and integrated with other systems in just 48 hours. On the next day it was tested. The whole thing has been positively evaluated by Polish special services.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
After two weeks of operation, we already have over 200,000 users in the system, some of whom have already completed the quarantine, which clearly shows that our solution is very much needed during the current situation
What we learned
It would be impossible to launch a system of such high functionality and scalability from scratch within a few days.
What's next for Home Quarantine Monitoring
We are already in advanced talks with potential partners on the implementation of the application in 6 more European, 3 African and 1 Asian countries. And as the company's representatives add, the technical infrastructure can be adapted to individual needs within a few days. | Home Quarantine Monitoring | We created a mobile application "Home Quarantine Montoring" for the Polish government | ['Sebastian Starzyński', 'Milena Nawrat', 'Katarzyna Strankowska'] | [] | [] | 475 |

The idea to develop this game was inspired by the extensive misinformation about the Covid-19 virus shared across social media and the internet. It is a problem that we found harmful to leave unhindered and potentially more dangerous that the virus itself and that is why Coviducator will be created as a possible solution.
What it does
Coviducator will be an entertaining but educational game that tests the player’s knowledge of true and false information surrounding the Covid-19 virus. The game will also include an 'Ask a doctor' feature for the players to have discussions with a specialist who is trained to assist Covid-19 patients
How we will build it
The tools we plan to use are python, django and MySQL to develop the web application for Coviducator.
Challenges we ran into
The first challenge was that the team planned to build an android application but had to scale down to a web application because of the team's limited technical skills. That is also why we would be using python and flask instead of the other well known tools.

Since the announcement of the President of the Republic of Madagascar Andry Nirina Rajoelina on 20 March 2020, first cases of Coronavirus have been confirmed. We can see people who are quarantined, confirmed cases, also quarantined. As a result, COVID-19 is spreading to every region of the Greater Isle, and the numbers may increase from day to day. As a result, there will be saturation in call centres, doctors and emergency rooms. That is why we had this initiative to create an online teleconsultation platform dedicated to the virus.
What it does
It allows remote consultation while protecting health care professionals, patients and citizens. Telemedicine can be seen, including teleconsultation, tele-monitoring, tele-training and tele-expertise, which will provide a health response to the current epidemic of COVID-19 in the world.
How I built it
Having first of all doctors and medical staff volunteers. Technicians competent for the development of the web platform and mobile application and especially the support of financial partners such as government, national and international organizations, etc.
Challenges I ran into
First of all, it helps relieve the pressure on doctors, hospital services and call centres, and reassure the public. Avoid the movement of patients infected with the virus, or other diseases, and thus prevent them from infecting other people. This makes it possible to fight epidemics together while exercising a first skimming between false alerts and potential patients. Secondly, telemedicine allows you to have an immediate consultation, to sort and to take to the emergency room only the most complicated cases. It therefore avoids human contact and thus minimizes the risk of cross-infection. It makes it possible to follow up on the health of people in quarantine and patients (by videoconference on RDV or immediately ). And above all, telemedicine is important to address the medical desert problem.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
During this confinement in Madagascar, we were able to participate in an online hackathan «Hackoragnavirus» launched by a citizen initiative to propose sustainable solutions that could eradicate the coronavirus crisis in Madagascar. We were among the 15 winners and E-tsabo received the second prize of the juries.
What I learned
The work, the hard work and the sharing of a common goal.
What's next for E-TSABO
The completion of the project with the maximum volunteer medical team, technicians in order to set up the platform and financial partners without which this project could not be put in place hence our participation in the Global Hack.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/educately | Digitalisation in the german public education system has been, upon recently, rolling out at a slow pace. Teacher, Students and institutions are lacking the skill and know-how to sufficiently advance the digitalisation of the classroom. So far, there is no single place where those players can receive an overview of tools and information they need to implement a digitalisation strategy in their individual schools successfully.
We had the idea and started it, during TheGlobalHack two weeks ago. We built a completely working MVP of our product where users can successfully manoeuvre around our ecosystem. We have consolidated and enriched our backend database with over 100 German Edtech startups and are continuously growing this database, to get an overview of all existing EdTech solutions in Germany.
Evolving from the alpha phase of Educately, we want to continue further to give users guidance based on their use case. Moreover, we want further to increase responsiveness and overall feel of the page. Afterwards, we should launch in the other German-speaking countries. The two of us are committed to grow Educately further and help as many students and teachers during this challenging and unprecedented time.

Every person has to struggle somewhere sometime in life. No one will get through life without it. But in our social media “connected” era, nobody admits having problems anymore! In the end, many of us are left alone, disconnected and feeling embarrassed by having problems which are very normal and "very human".
What it does
Our mission is to design a process to better cope with human challenges using personality matching and crowd-sourcing approach.
From a personality science, we know that people with similar personality types are facing similar challenges. It comes from the fact that personality types have not only strengths but also weaknesses.
For example, this is common among people who are high in "openness" (Big5-Personality Test Scale) to have a difficult time maintaining discipline and for people who are high on neuroticism to have problems with maintaining healthy diets.
What a relief would it be for those people to understand **why
they are having those challenges and discover that they are not alone and that there are many solutions that will help them?**
Personality Tests
such as the Big5-Personality Test are already good at telling people what conditions they have but they leave them alone with their conditions without providing any further guidance on how to face them!
At the same time there are so many
effective psychological strategies, tools and practices
(like mindfulness, cold showers, time-blocking etc.) available to successfully master any human challenges but how should a person understand what tools & strategies will work best for them?
We want to take the next step and connect people who have similar personality types with each other, let them share their challenges and test together strategies that work for them. In this way, we create a process to better understand the cause of the challenge and to help each other discover strategies that work best! You can think about it as a "Wikipedia of habits, tools and practices" married with an advanced matching algorithm which will help you to discover tools that will suit your personality!
How I will build it
The solution will be a social coaching/self-help platform where we will match people by personality types and let them "crowd-source" the most common challenges and most useful strategies.
After finishing a simple personality test our users will instantly find help & relieve by reading stories around similar challenges from people like them!
The next step will be to choose the strategies recommended by other people and add this to the user´s
personal toolbox
. After the tool is added to the personal toolbox the user will be able to track the practise daily and share progress and insights with others. This would help him to master the challenge and will help others to discover this useful tool too.
Let's face our challenges together! In the process, we will make friends for Life on Lifebuddies.
Goals for the Hackathon
On the first step, we will have to validate the idea by collecting the feedback, creating the community and building the first prototype

To be effective, means to use electronic. To protect democracy means, to protect democratically elected representatives to participate on decisions. Person send to quarantine, or hospital is thrown out from making decision today, as most of the decisions are taken on personal meetings. Many countries literally doesn't allow alternative to personal meetings, even the countries use eIDs. Big inspiration is the wide using of eIDs in Estonia and growing of the electronic services provided by state in Slovakia and Czech republic in last years, but often unsatisfactory way.
The solution is allow the representatives, bodies, management to vote and take decisions off-site - from home, hospital, even from business trips and additionally, in the time, when they find it.
To do this, we founded Qesadila the e-voting system, during the hackethon called Hack The Crisis Slovakia (3. - 5. April 2020).
What it does
Qesadila will allow:
invite the voters
manage the voters
manage voting forms
e-voting by signing the ballot using qualified electronic signature using national eID.
How I built it
We started with solution on desktop.
The system consists from two main parts:
Signing application is based on .NET application installed on computer.
Web application to manage voters, voting forms, invitations and present results.
Challenges I ran into
Security is the biggest challenge for our solution. We will be very thankful for mentoring in this area.
Another thing is to find people from different countries with eIDs to make the application usable for people from different countries.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We started just week ago. But the members of the team are good basement to solve this challenge.
What I learned
Mentoring, new members of the team are definitely, what can help us on this hackethon.
What's next for QESADILA the e-voting system
During the hackethon we'd like to move the state, when it will be testable on the internet, so anyone can manage his/her independent voting system in our solution deployed in cloud.
Next we will look for subject - a partner, who is able to use the system in municipality, company, ngo to make the solution usable.
We hope, Qesadila can help to protect democracy with protecting the representatives.

NO2 levels across the world from the start of 2020
countrywise data in the dashboard
Inspiration
In mid-March, I came across news that there are swans and dolphins coming back to the waters of Venice, elephants roaming freely in China and so on. All of them turned out to be fake or factually wrong. That led to the question of whether and how the crisis is impacting our world and how much is everything linked. COVID Explore started with the exploration of the impact over the environment and it is still the mainstay of the project.
What it does
It tries to identify sectors where the COVID-19 crisis is putting a direct or indirect impact and then tries to assess the extent of those impacts. It will enable organizations and non-profits to identify sectors that need work and also rally the governments for pro-environment changes in policies.
How I built it
I built it with python and flask web framework. The visualizations in the project are mostly done with the Bokeh library. Acquired the pollution data by scraping aqicn.org and the data for cases and deaths are provided by the John Hopkins dataset.
Challenges I ran into
Gathering and properly presenting the vast amount of data in a single visualization is a tough task. Also, flask and python can't provide the flexibility and options of the beautiful visualizations available in ReactJS. Porting for mobile is another tough ask.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
COVID Explore is one of the very few apps that explores the long running impacts of the crisis, something that will be useful for our future.
What's next for COVID Explore
Exploring the economic and societal risks of different countries. Also assessing and analyzing the drop in pollutions in different countries.

Instead of being subject to natural forces, humanity is now a “world-changing force of nature”, but they can/must choose how they act. Nature can deliver the problems but also can provide the tools. We have to enter deeply in the nano-world to understand how the tools work. So we will be able to apply solutions and cures.
What it does
We use our tools, experience, know-how to create a new antibacterial and antiviral super-molecule can last for long time on every surface in order to kill virus and protect for a long time afterwards. It can shield lungs, and other vital body systems from virus attack by destroying the virus themselves.
We set three milestones:
First: short-term solution is to stop virus proliferation into human body.
Second: short-mid term solution to use rna retrotrascription detection of virus and managing information directly via cell-phones anonymously.
Third: mid-long term solution to continuously check the presence of the virus inside the human body with a bio-engineered tattoo that shift color when virus is there.
How I built it
We call this molecule "Bellerofast". It is a fusion molecule that comes from the combination of genes of plant origin, suitable for shield the vital organs from virus attack. We built it with new crispr-cas techniques.
Challenges I ran into
We didn't want to create a drug, but mostly a supplement can works better than a drug. So we started to look into the self-healing process of plants and we discover how plants can fight viruses and bacterial. The main challenge was to translate this capacity into the human body.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Primary Italian and European research centers are supporting us on our challenge. Venice University "Ca' Foscari" opened their labs to us despite the lock down. CIBIO of Trento, first biology research centre for genetic in Italy is supporting us with their revolutionary labs. ICGEB of Trieste which is a UN virology unit is performing test on COVID-19. Association of european virology is studying our products on COVID-19
What I learned
Looking deep into the nature nano-systems has allowed us to undersand how Nature can cure itself using all self-created tools. This amazing capacity teaches us how to overcome the synthetic chemistry-era in order to enter the nature-healing era.
What's next for TerraForX Medical Channel
We will give to the World the chance to use this molecula to cure patient pained by Coronavirus and all the kind of deseases that come from virus species and bacteria. Our final aim is to improve the general condition of the people living on this Planet.
