1.52 billion students around the globe have stopped learning during the covid-19 pandemic because of the school closures.
Due to the lack of digital skills amongst teachers, only a few of them decide to reach their students, and they use tools from Learning Management Systems to WhatsApp or Facebook groups, depending on their skills.
Teachers with low digital skills find it hard to use these tools and they stop trying.
Children aged 6-10 who are in elementary schools barely know how to read (or don't know at all) and they can use these tools only with the help of an adult.
This leaves out children who:
don't have teachers who are able to or want to use technology
don't have adults who are able to help them
can't read or speak English
can't read or speak at all (e.g. are hearing impaired)
have reading disorders (e.g. dyslexia)
have intellectual disabilities
live in orphanages
don't have an email address
What it does
A mobile app that can be used by students to continue learning from home. Teachers will have a very easy tool to send young students lessons and assignments.
How I built it
Not built yet.
Looking forward to all below!

Working from home can be tough since your attention has to compete with social media, Netflix and computer games.
But what if we gamify work itself?
What it does
Get points for words or lines of codes written. Number of changes and improvements made. Number of files created.
Track your daily progress and unlock achievements.
If you're competitive, create a scoreboard to compete with friends and see who's been the most productive that day.

UI Mockup / Message Create
Problem.
Whether it is Pandemic, Flooding, Earthquake, crisis or everyday life's challenges there are people in better position (financially/less physical demage, emotionally) and worse position. Those who are in better position may respond faster and in some countries better than official responders. Moreover official responders (policemen, firefighters, ambulance, food delivery) may be overwhelmed by demand. In such situations it would be good idea to use power of society and communities to cooperate and help. Those who are nearby and in better position physically/financially/emotionally may respond. For example I don't mind to buy some extra bread, meat, and other groceries and give it for free to some nearby families who lost the job due to crisis. But the problem is, how can we make easy and simple for people who need support to communicate with nearby people who can provide support?
Our Solution.
We decided to build the messenger which solves the problem. It's just like your any messanger on your phone but +1 screen where you will see messages/posts from people nearby. It allows you to easily and simply communicate with author of this message, as well as cooperate with other people nearby.
Hackathon Objective.
We quickly started developing prototype and implemented basic requirements (navigation, mockup). Media in the attachments. During this hackathon we aim to build core features which will accomplish purpose - deliver the message to relevant people nearby. We are confident that by the end of the hackathon we will have an actual working prototype with real code. After that we aim to proceed to next step - Alpha, Beta Testing. I believe that our service may be useful for society during and after crisis, and i hope with your help we can deliver it to people's hands fast and in the right way.
Our team.
Our team consists of 3 Software Engineers and 1 UI/UX Designer. All of us have been worked together in one company as one team. We are competent engineers with good experience in our field. You can check our profiles here:

Million of people that don’t have access to formal education nor professional opportunities sometimes have to manage to develop underrated skills to subsist. This knowledge should be Transferred.
What it does
The platform connects people with underrated skills that are rewarded by teaching others that can learn and implement this knowledge and develop a new way of living.
How I built it
Open platform with a course template that connects people with valuable skills ( and gain rewards by giving this courses ) with people that want to learn underrated but valuable skills to develop a new income stream.
Challenges I ran into
Tech development, standardize the template for course offerings, quality deliverables, pricing of the courses, funds for the project that should be private but also public. It could be a huge boost for underdeveloped countries that are willing to generate new opportunities and jobs.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Pushing hard to generate private work opportunities during all my profesional career.
What I learned
As an entrepreneur, My success generates jobs and dignity for a lot of people and families.
What's next for Transfer

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/stopcovid-vujf5y | The problem
If everyone could be quarantined for 4 weeks, the virus would simply disappear. However, this is technically not possible and, probably, the epidemic will continue until a critical mass of people develop immunity.
How to combine normal life and quarantine activities?
What if we quarantine only those who are infected, and the rest will continue a normal life? However, the specificity of COVID -19 is such that a person becomes contagious before he develops symptoms (and sometimes they never appear) or before he does the test.
The solution
To track the person’s contacts and if he develops symptoms or turns out to be a positive test, send everyone he has been contacted for testing.
Technically
A person downloads the StopCOVID application. Then he marks all his visits to places where the risk of infection is potentially high, such as work, study, events, travels in public transport, visiting shops etc. Technically, such marks can be made by scanning the QRCode, NFC tags or by GPS location.
In case of the appearance of symptoms or a positive test, a person notes this in the application and the system will notify everyone with whom he could contact in these places.
People who receive the message take measures to prevent the spread of the disease for a time sufficient to detect the disease or its denial.
Questions
How to motivate people to use the application?
How to motivate locations (shops, events) to provide possibilities for check-in?
How will disease facts get into the system?
How will people be invited to test?
How does it correspond to human rights and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?

Winners at the COVID-19 Global Hackathon
Inspiration
Across the world, hospitals are collapsed because of thousands of citizens requesting medical services related to the pandemic.
Just in Europe, over 1 073 947 people are directly affected by COVID19
, and we got really inspired by a real story of a Doctor, that writes in an article
"I’m a Doctor in Italy. We Have Never Seen Anything Like This, my country’s health care system may soon collapse. None of us have ever experienced a tragedy like this."
The coronavirus COVID-19 has reached our cities, crossing borders and radically modifying our daily lives. The exceptional nature of the situation means that each and every one of us has to invest efforts that help stop this pandemic, but how can we do it?
So our team start thinking: What if we start promoting telemedicine and digitalising the consults related to symptoms or where to find hospitals, test labs, food or hygiene products. Also helping to fight Fake news and providing motivational content for any person passing through this hard moment.
Telemedicine & consultations online has great advantages: we do not saturate Hospitals with non-urgent visits, we lower the potential infection of doctors and also we reduce the number of displacement and, therefore, the contacts that may cause the spread of the virus.
*
Hospitals are collapsing because of the overwhelming request of medical services related to this pandemic. *
And this are also other problems we are seeing and it inspire us to build this solution:
1) Healthy individuals with lack of knowledge and inaccurate information unnecessarily going to the hospital with the risk of being exposed to the virus.
2) Waiting times prolonged for people that need the immediate attention.
3) Hospitals Exceeding their capacity & resources with non-emergency cases.
What it does
Through a virtual assistant that runs on WhatsApp, we provide non-emergency support, an through Natural Language Processing models we try to understand how the users feels during the day, for example:
User say:
"Bad, I feel very sick"
I think that I'm infected
Please connect me with a Telemedicine Volunteers
Marie resides in a remote town in Sussex in England, and during several weeks she presented pronounced cough and headaches. So, she start getting worried, and decided to consult a doctor, but this time she doesn't move from her home, and she will be treated in Amsterdam, 7,300 kilometers away. How? She turn on the mobile, open her WhatsApp and connect to a video call, detail her symptoms in the conversation, and wait for a doctor to connect to the call.
User say:
"I'm ok, just looking for information"
I live in Santiago de Chile and I want to track Today's news about COVID-19, find Hospitals near me, Test Labs, find Food and Hygiene products or identify a Fake new.
via GIPHY
User say:
"I want to become a Volunteer"
Doctors, Pharmaceutics, Psychologists, among other health workers can become members to our Volunteer Global Telemedicine network.
Become a Hero
How we built it
We use Natural Language Processing models to understand what users are saying and typing... We connect the NLP model to FB Messenger and Whatsapp API to capture Parameters from the conversations and provide the users the best option.
Also, this effort wouldn't be possible with the support of over 100 Developers and Citizens that help us on task's such as Testing, conversational design, communication among others. Their names are: Daniel Rojas Roa (VR/AR Developer), Andrey (Health Coach), Joshua Pedraza (AI Developer) & many other testers of the platforms across countries like: Canada, United States, México, Guatemala, Brasil, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Spain and others.
Challenges we ran into
-Terms of Use of Messenger & Whatsapp for Business API for Emergencies Services.
-Train the model in different areas such as: Feeling Bad or Sick, Feeling ok and looking for news, places or products, and Becoming a Volunteer.
Accomplishments that we're proud of

Terms of Use
What we learned
Contribution with multiple countries to address this pandemic can help us have a better context of the challenges that we share and which one are really different, make a match between them and scale a powerful solution against human main challenges, such as COVID19.
Telemedicine is an effective first filter and allows Medical & Health center's to allocate available resources to those critical cases who really need them. In addition, using remote control terminals, it facilitates the monitoring of chronically ill patients, to whom treatment is provided at home whenever possible.

In these Corona Virus times we want to provide the missing links between the struggling local commerce, the growing number of customers depending on home delivery with a daily changing open pool of available local fleet of scarce professional van or taxi drivers, the occasional private driver wanting to help out with his private vehicle to make some revenues, and the cargo bikes and volunteers (i.e. sporty runners) to bring and pick up packages and medicine , through an optimized pool software that reduces the amount of time and emission needed to meet all transport needs. We engage the local community in the town to jointly bridge the capacity gap for first- and last-mile transport,
What it does
We match existing e-commerce initiatives wanting to bring goods and merchandise from many pick-up points to may delivery points through a sophisticated AI-based fleet optimization software
How we built it
We adapt the transport module element i an existing advanced fleet delivery software for larger commercial customers - the APX Intellitrack - that is already accepted by large Norwegian companies ( Coop) so that it becomes accessible to everyone. It will work for all and is very fast to optimize to reduce distance, cost and climate impact. It works anywhere in the World where GoogleMap works
We use their core AI-based fleet optimization in a crowd-sourcing transport
Concept engaging the local community to meet local needs
Challenges we ran into
We need to make it available to all people in their local languages
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The idea was very well received at the Oslo Hackaton and the Swiss Hackaton
What we learned
Involve international partners with good local cultural understanding

Inspiration
in an online course I am taking on how to chose what idea to carry out of the 10000 ideas you have, especially in times like this, we had to do an exercise in which we listed 7 passions, 7 problems and 7 fears. I found a common factor in my fears... I am fearful of dying, especially dying alone.
COVID-19
has made us all face challenges we never thought of. In my case, I have been forced to face my fear of loneliness and the realization that the only certainty we have in life is death.
That same day, I saw 2 powerful stories on CNN of people loosing their loved ones and not being able to be with them in their last hours or celebrating their lives like we are used to. This is when the idea of doing
En Memoir
came to my mind.
What it does
En Memoir
is a digital platform that lets us host digital memorials for those who have passed. Due to our current circumstances, memorials and funerals are not being carried out leaving family members with a bigger grief and guilt of not being able to be with their loved ones physically or celebrate their lives. En Memoir will virtually gather everyone and have personalize and occasion - appropriate feature to alleviate grief and bring families to have
closure
together.
How I built it
En Memoir
is right now an idea on prototype in proto.io. The plan is to do a web mobile app that resembles a mix between the famous wedding website "The Knot", has interactive features like house party and lets everyone connect on video and record like zoom.
Challenges I ran into
Death is not attractive
or easy to talk about. We do not like thinking or planing for it. I also never thought I would ever build or come up with something like this, however, I am being called to serve those who are suffering from all the consequences, short and long term, COVID-19 is having, and this is a powerful way to alleviate instant grief and long term mental wellbeing.
I am not super techy
. I love doing it everything myself but unfortunately I can't built websites or apps so I need help and we are looking for people to help us build this product!
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am super proud to be facing my own fears and create a solution around them. I am also super proud that I managed to do a prototype and WIX page in 1 day :)
What I learned
We tend to think we need an enormous amount of experience in the industry or field we can bring value in
. However, this exercise showed me and this project is showing me that what we need is drive, passion and the best intentions to bring about change and serve the community.
What's next for En Memoir
En Memoir is ready to get built in the Global Hack!
We need to start connecting families virtually to celebrate the lives of the love ones they have lost.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/passion-home-health | Inspiration: I was inspired by My grandmother when I was eight years old and I started caring for her activities of daily living. By the time I was 12 she was in a hospital bed and I was her main provider for health care at home. My mother didn’t have the patience to do it so I took care of many of her needs. Then as an adult I learned about Suncoast Hospice and how anyone with or without money can have care. As a home healthcare provider, I see many that only get a few hours a day because they cannot afford the long-term care that they need at home. Many cannot get out to the doctors and miss out on visits due to their conditions at home or not having transportation to get to and from their appointments.
What it does: Allow many who need Home Care the opportunity to receive benefits in home health with or without ability to pay. Helping our veterans our community and those in need.
Give back to the veterans who served our country 2 for 1 giving a 40 hr week vs 20 allowable my out government.
How I built it: Hard work, Discipline and being there even if they couldn’t pay me.
Challenges I ran into: Not having enough time to take care of everyone. Having more hours than I can fulfill.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of: The referrals, love and care even end of life care and making others comfortable in their own home.
What I learned: You don’t learn experience you earn it.!!!! Helping others become the best they can and providing dignity and respect makes the lives of seniors so meaningful.

The recent crisis caused by COVID19 has placed the global communities in a locked down mode. In order to create a better means for reengaging human-to-human socialization, I thought of an App that will allow people to maintain a safe zone to prevent the transmission of infection while allowing social communities to emerge.
What it does
The App will create a 6 feet “geofence” around each individual that can be easily recognized
How we built it
Using the smart phone technologies (both for android, Google, and iPhone) we will utilize the god locator of Google to measure the distance of approaching human to human contacts
Challenges we ran into
We have to make sure that a the use of technology is clearly targeted to human and not any other objects
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The App will have many benefits. Obviously the major feature will be creating a 6-feet safe zone around each individual in the community or in conference rooms or exercise gyms, and other areas where humans are socializing.
What we learned
There is a strong belief amongst the scientific communities that COVID19 will be around for years to come. As a result we need to learn the new and innovative ways to promote human-to-human socialization while maintaining health and well beings of individuals without propagating viral transmission
What's next for Keep Your Distance
Develop the framework of the features and enhancements of the App followed by design elements and finally API testing and validation

An map-centric application (e.g. Google Maps or Waze or Apple Map) has become an intrinsic part of our day to day life, which provides us the shortest or the fastest route to travel from one to another and / or provides us with information like gas stations, coffee shops, diners etc along the route chosen or for any pin dropped on the map either on or around the route or at random.
Our application draws inspiration from the above and tries to provide COVID-19 related information along the route or for any location(s) where a pin(s) are dropped in a GPS map.
What it does
This Saferoute application facilitates the user with relevant information along his chosen path on a map helping him to have a convenient, safe, risk balanced journey in the time of COVID19.
Identity the latitude and the longitude
Or the pin-code based on the GPS pins
AND provide following information (and more) for each of the pins (and therefore for the entire route)
Risk of infection for the place
o Number of people infected
o Any other relevant demographics which can be traced to risk profile for that pincode (Geo)
o Etc (to be discussed)

Over 1.5 million people have been diagnosed with the coronavirus. In many countries, hospitals are out of capacities and doctors are overwhelmed with patients. There is still no reliable information about the true number of infected people. Many people with minor and mild symptoms cannot get access to medical help and health monitoring, some people with severe symptoms are dying because of delayed hospitalization.
What it does
TrackCovid is an automated symptom tracking tool for disease with long-standing or rapidly developing symptoms that require regular monitoring (including COVID-19). Patients complete an initial registration and receive regular automated calls from Voice Assistant which checks the health conditions of the patient and assesses the risks of complications and needs for immediate hospitalization using ML algorithms. If high risk for health is predicted by the system, the patient is connected with emergency medical services. As a result, patients do not feel left alone in an emergency, the medical system is less overwhelmed and acute cases are noticed in time. In addition, we collect reliable information about symptoms which is not subject to the discretion and punctuality of the patients.
How I built it
We use voice to text machine learning algorithms to recognize the answers of the patients and extract meaningful insight out of these answers.
Challenges I ran into
We leverage our experience in machine learning and telecom to create the solution which is the most needed.
What's next for TrackCovid
We are going to develop a functional prototype of a Voice Assistant for symptoms tracking.

Inspiration
Promote solidarity actions in the crisis. Involve those who need help with those who want to help, creating jobs and establishing a network of solidarity and monitoring.
What it does
It allows the connection of solidarity interests between people and visualizes in real time the regions that most need help. The system provides the data for solidarity people to act and reduce requests made by the region, providing a map with the graphic identification of the collaboration between solidarity and needy people.
How it was built
The solution was made available as a web application and can be accessed through the covidbreaker.com domain. The solution is responsive and allows easy user interaction on most electronic devices, such as computers, TVs and cell phones. This system is an evolution of a solidarity network, as it can serve as a measure for government and private companies to assess needs by location. All technologies involved in the construction of the project are open source.
Representativeness
The solution was one of the few that represented Brazil as an innovation idea involving universal solidarity. During the Hackathon, the team went through three eliminatory checkpoints and reached the final assessment. The need meets proposals from representatives of the public sector and the European Commission.

For me people that interact within the space of the city has always been fascinating. Spaces where friction can spark creativity, innovation and resolve. I call it CitySpheres. CitySpheres are organic, with fluid borders and forever changing. In which direction is up to us all to decide.
My big inspiration is
Doughnut Economics
by Kate Raworth. Just this week the report of Amsterdam as a City Doughnut was published. "Cities have a unique role and opportunity to shape humanity’s chances of thriving in balance with the living planet this century. As home to 55% of the world’s population, cities account for over 60% of global energy use, and more than 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions, due to the global footprint of the products they import and consume. 1) Without transformative action, cities’ annual demand for Earth’s material resources is set to rise from 40 billion tonnes in 2010 to nearly 90 billion tonnes by 2050. 2) At the same time, cities have immense potential to drive the transformations needed to tackle climate breakdown and ecological collapse, and to do so in ways that are socially just.
What it does
Although I have the url and socials since end of 2011, just very recently I put up a website as a lean (permanent beta) way to communicate the message of creating regenerative and distributive cities (with Doughnut Economics tool). The website acts as a showcase page where I can show collaboration with a network of pro-active City Change Agents (themselves social entrepreneurs like me) A place to MEET, LEARN and ACT together. CitySpheres does not have a separate legal structure yet, but it could perhaps evolve into a cooperation.
How we built it
All CitySpheres is now is a website with socials. What I would love to build together with like-minded others is an app with which citizens can help gather data on the criteria of the social foundation (SDG's) and ecological ceiling (planetary boundaries of Rockström and Steffen) of Doughnut Economics. It should be an open sourced platform adhering to the values and principles of the 21st Century Doughnut Economy.

ComeTogether
is a start up that gives control of the entire ticket lifecycle to event organizers, with the power of blockchain. As events are particularly impacted by Covid-19, we were looking for ways to adapt to this new reality. We decided to use our event ticketing technology as the foundation for COVID-19 passports, which in turn can provide an immediate route, to safely return back to the full spectrum of economic and social activity, including events. The urgency of the solution became even more apparent, when we realized that it can help bring recovered health workers back to the frontlines safely.
Moreover, as most of the team is living in Greece, we experience first hand the crush of the tourist season, that makes up for 20% of the country's GDP. Of course, tourism is not the only industry impacted as a result of this crisis; we cannot overlook retail, airlines, sports and entertainment events, restaurants, etc. The global losses due to the COVID-19 crisis are estimated from $5.8 Tn to $8.8 Tn. This is why our society cannot afford to quarantine people that have already recovered from the virus, or have been vaccinated when a vaccine is developed. Additionally, people who tested negative with a COVID-19 test within the last few days, are also non-contagious.
The added value proposition of our ticketing solution, ComeTogether, is that it combats ticket fraud and scalping. Similar requirements exist for COVID passports. They should be non transferable or sellable and impossible to forge. This is why the passports are delivered through ID document verification currently. Next step is to support biometric validation (face, fingerprint). Hence the passports will be always uniquely tied to each citizen.
What it does
BackTogether’s COVID-19 passport solution, provides a way to validate both COVID-19 and antibody test status. Health centers (hospitals, mobile health units, etc) test citizens with serology tests for the presence of antibodies and for COVID-19 tests (such as RT-PCR) for the presence of the virus. Many tests in the market, test for both simultaneously. BackTogether provides archival for all three cases (COVID tests, antibody tests, COVID & antibody tests). The health worker that performs the test enters the citizen’s id, the test type, id and results and the issuance date. This data, along with metadata for the passport issuer, are currently stored encrypted on the blockchain and consist the citizen's COVID-19 passport. The passport can then be validated, by scanning the owner’s ID document.
We are working with health authorities to approve BackTogether as an appropriate test archival solution. In this case, the health authorities may authorize and sample check the health centers that issue the passports. However, we are also serving market demand from businesses and citizens, for an immediate, unofficial solution.
There are important benefits for all stakeholders:
States can restart their economies, open their borders and have vaccination data for the population, in a non-privacy invasive way.
Health centers provide an ideal way to store test data.
Citizens are able to prove their status easily and return to the full spectrum of economic and social activity. Moreover, they will be able to monitor their vaccinations and get reminders.
Businesses such as events, airports, airlines, stadiums, museums, hotels, restaurants, insurance companies, crowded offices, public services will provide the demand. BackTogether will allow them to offer their standard set of services to passport holders, without risking public health and a different set of services, with extra hygiene precautions, to the rest.
How we built it
We built it by using our
already developed technology for ticketing
, which has been successfully used in 14 music events, as the foundation. Our tech stack includes: EOSIO smart contracts written in C++, MongoDB and Node.js server, eosjs, React Native for the mobile app and the scanner.
The smart contracts are currently deployed on
Jungle EOSIO testnet
. Currently the smart contract stores the passport data encrypted on the blockchain. Storing the data hashes on the blockchain is not the best practice, as the hashing algorithms may be compromised in the future and GDPR compliance is impossible, when the data are stored on a public blockchain. However, we will refactor this and store data on IPFS, while storing the IPFS hash on the public blockchain. The refactored version will also be compliant with the
W3C Verifiable Credentials standard
, enabling interoperability with other similar solutions and ease of integration with applications that use W3C DiDs and W3C VCs. In this direction we have already developed the
first implementation of W3C DIDs for EOSIO Blockchains
. Next step is to implement the passports as W3C Verified Credentials and integrate with the DIDs.
The use of EOSIO blockchain technology, with a private IPFS - public EOS Main-net architecture, which is compliant with the
W3C Verifiable Credentials standard
, ensures:
Data security and along through encryption- data privacy,
Auditability as hashes of the IPFS are stored frequently on the public blockchain. Saves the certificate from political implications (no need to trust central servers/authorities).
GDPR compliance.
Very high scalability.
Negligible costs
Interoperability with the W3C VC ecosystem.
Challenges we ran into
The cost and scalability required for this solution to scale globally were initially a concern. The cost of deploying the solution on EOS Main-net is around 200,000 Euros for 10M certificates and its scalability, can reach up to 10,000 transactions per second. We figured that such cost would be significant; hence we designed the new private IPFS - public blockchain architecture, where only the hashes of the private IPFS network will be stored frequently on EOS Main-net, enabling much higher scalability along with negligible cost. The same architecture allows us to stay GDPR compliant, as data can remain stored within the EU geographically, if that's where the IPFS network’s nodes are hosted.
Another challenge we ran into, was finding a viable business model. As the code will be open source to have the necessary transparency and auditability, many usual business models don't apply. However offering support to health authorities to help them securely and efficiently run an IPFS node, will provide additional value to the ecosystem and can create a viable business for us. Another potential source of revenue can be a premium offering of the app, with extra features for the validator businesses. Making money is not our first priority in this dire situation, but rather to contribute our part in improving it. However, creating business sustainability will allow us to continue innovating and improving the solution in the future.

What's next for BackTogether
We will complete the compliance with
W3C Verifiable Credentials Standard
. In the context of EOSIO Virtual Hackathon we developed the
first implementation of W3C DIDs for EOSIO Blockchains
. Next step is to implement the passports as W3C Verified Credentials and integrate with the DIDs until September.
By the end of 2020 we aim to add biometric validation of the passports. The validation will be based on Zero Knowledge proofs, in order to allow for biometric data sovereignty and privacy.
Another really important next step for us, is to integrate BackTogether into ComeTogether and enable more events to take place safely.
We are launching the MVP in July and immediately starting the issuance of COVID passports for people tested by
Emergency Help
. We are also marketing BackTogether to other health centers and companies that perform such tests, listening carefully to their requirements and building the MVP accordingly. Greece provides a good opportunity for BackTogether, as the country has kept a low number of cases and now is carefully opening to tourists, which prefer it, due to its green zone status, in regards to COVID-19. However, in order to keep the number of cases down, the authorities are looking into the direction of testing and other precautions, so a solution like ours is needed.
We are currently also working on raising the awareness to public authorities, in order for them to have the solution approved in their jurisdictions, as an appropriate way to store and validate COVID and antibody test results. Winning on two antivirus hackathons is connecting us with public authorities in Greece, such as the Region of Attica and the Ministry of Culture and Sports to pilot in their jurisdictions.
The urgency now is for SARS-CoV-2, but the solution will be expanded to include more pathogens in the future, as well as a vaccination monitoring tool, with reminders to adhere to the recommended vaccination timelines.

Inspiration
Mitigating the pandemic requires many related apps and data flows coordinated around and consented by the individual. Apps will do contact tracing, test management, symptoms capture, digital identity, professional health records, consent, and decentralized (localized) community guidance and governance. A robust, standards-based and open source framework is needed to enable the best apps and services in each of these domains to be combined to meet the needs of different cities, communities, and cultures.
For over five years, I am the co-founder of a physician-developer led project called Trustee that implements the modern standards for managing digital identities, health records, and the consents for OAuth APIs. Unlike legacy systems built around hospitals and government bureaucracies, Trustee is built around individual patients, credentialed caregivers, and communities of interest. This makes Trustee uniquely well suited to the pandemic which requires features like patient mobility to appropriate isolation and treatment locations, flexibility in caregiver and testing access, and sophisticated consent mechanisms to support surveillance while minimizing privacy risks to individuals before and after infection.
What it does
Trustee has always been run as a Free / Open Source collaboration by a small group of physicians and health industry veterans. Until now, our goal was to inform standards and policy rather than deploy or market an end-user product. It is now time to document our extensive code and ready it for deployment in support of the various apps and services being developed around he world. Trustee is written in Laravel/PHP and recently containerized. Key API standards include OAuth2, UMA2, OpenID Connect, and FHIR. We use the ConsenSys uPort app to allow caregivers to manage their credentials. We have demonstrated connectivity to the production APIs of the largest EHR vendor (Epic) as well as the entire US Medicare beneficiary database. We demonstrate clinician credentialing by linking to the US National Provider Identifier database and the largest social network for clinicians. Stripe integration enables individual patients to pay for and control their own Trustee.
What's next for Trustee
We are looking for hackathon teammates to document and demonstrate Trustee as a resource to apps and services as well as communities fighting COVID-19 and future pandemics. More info and a whitepaper at

Inspiration
Hi everyone! I got deeply moved by the suicide of a nurse in Italy. I feel the load healthcare workers are bearing is more than a human being could stand. As much as they’d love to save everyone the lack of resources because of exponential increase of cases and issues in the health systems make them take the difficult decision of who to help to live and who is left to die.
As a Christian I’ve been praying for them, but I wanted to make them feel I was there with them, not in flesh but in spirit. I wanted to share the pain and give comfort because as human I feel small in this, but as Christian I feel small in the hands of a powerful God.
Then, in the Hackathon I met amazing people from the US, the UK, India, Germany and Bolivia with the same vision as me. Peter said “We want to share hope because we have hope”. The original vision was to make an application to connect specifically doctors/nurses/health workers with mature christians or therapists that can support them in these times of distress. Sometimes you just need to be listened or someone with whom to share your grief.
Presentation about Hug of The soul project:

https://www.reduno.com.bo/nota/italia-enfermera-se-suicida-por-coronavirus-y-conmueve-a-toda-la-poblacion-202032514120
What it does
Creates a channel of Communication between health workers in distress with a mature christian/therapists or community to give them emotional/spiritual support. The emotional support is through: sharing positive content like videos about "Gratitude towards Doctors", "Kindness: helping each other during crisis", "Miracles", and "Unity". For the explanations below we will give as example of health worker to 'doctors'. The features would be as follows:
List of helpers that could be filtered by language or country and available schedule. Also by stars.
*As a Doctor I have a source of positive news that bring me positive vibes and relax me and give me hope thought "Hug TV"
As doctor, I can search for a help using the filters.
As a doctor, I can use "find best match" option, which would automatically connect with the best match in helpers considering: same country as doctor, same language, preference to be Christian/not Christian, available schedule, and highest star rating.
*As doctor I can review a helper giving stars.
*As supporter I can create video content to share with doctors"
*As supporter I can register to give personal support to doctors
*As supporter I can connect through hospitals using their wall
How I built it
Implementation is a website that works for desktop and would work for mobile. Doctors use more their cellphones but users locked down in houses use more desktops or laptops.
Challenges I ran into
Development: What went well?
Willingness of team members to help one another despite time zone differences (EST, BST, CEST).
Peter coordinating dev work that needs to be done across different time zones while gathering requirements from UX.
Jermaine joining the team. His expertise in React and styling helped the team.
Using GitHub pages to host frontend.
Mattias was able to get backend working on Heroku with HTTPS very quickly.
Design decision to use YouTube playlists to store curated positive videos instead of searching for positive content.
All members of the team learned how to use new frameworks and tools.
Development: What could be improved?
Better communication regarding frontend design.
Thinking about deployment before developing web applications.
Don’t use AWS Elastic Beanstalk for hackathons. Wasn’t easy to set up redirect http to https on AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
Utilizing YouTube API such that we don’t get throttled due to exceeding request limits.
Reconsider if backend is really necessary to prove concept.
Regarding usage: the app would not try to convert doctors, only trying to give unconditional support like a good old friend would do, picking up their calls wherever they need to be listened to, offer prayer when they feel weak or they are going through a difficult case, or having the incredibly difficult decision of choosing who to save. This could eventually expand to speak with patients also, even minister them before they die...

elektron.art (the website is with the same name ..) is an artscience hub in Estonia established early 2020. Our opening festival at the beginning of April what we named "Spooky action at a Distance" in January (with reference to Einstein, no relation to the crisis in hand whatsoever!) turned out to be exactly that.
As we are at the crossroads of tech and arts, we felt obligation to somehow solve the puzzle and come up with something more tangible than facebook live.
How we built it
With the kick-off at the Estonian Hack the Crisis hackatlon and two weeks of quite intense coding, help from Amazon AWS and local streaming provider Babahh/Videolevels, we managed to set up the
https://elektron.live
what was based on the streaming provider infrastructure, but had our own engine running underneath what allowed the viewers to see each other and interact. Basically like a zoom, but scalable for 1000 persons.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
At the end, we had a three-day online performing arts festival last weekend with over 3000 participants!
What it does
Surprisingly, quite many people (hundreds!) were agreeing to have their cameras on and pictures grabbed and put on the screen as a one large continuously updating mosaic. The created effect was quite like on the festival, where someone saw someone else and said in chat "hi, I can see you".
It may have had the larger impact on the audience than on the preformers, but considering the surprising number of donated ticket money, it must have felt like a real festival that people were agreeing to pay for that without any obligation!
What's next for elektron.live
The festival was just a first step. Several performers who were originally listed to come and do a live performance at a stage were creating special online versions of their acts. The event gave a vague glimpse, that performing arts online, where avents on both sides of the screen are happening live, is something what is not necessarily a substitute for the theatre or live concert. It could be another totally new kind of medium what gives an entirely new spectrum of tools and methods. Much as the early cinema was a recording of the theathre until Dziga Vertov on 1929 changed it forever with its film "Man with a Movie Camera", we are at this early stage with online performances today.
Current situatin gives a valuable testing ground for those technoligies and we are here to gather the like-minded people together for exploring further, where such medium could go and how we will be able to deliver existing and new experiences and energy transfer between performers and audience.

habits is one of the biggest challenges of being on quarantine. It is also known that the lack of physical exercises can lead to
several issues
that can lead to obesity, depression, high blood pressure and so on.
Another fact is that we all feel the need of connection, and most of the times,
group exercises is more effective
.
That's why we built Just Gym. A platform that people can get together to workout, motivating each other to keep going forward, even in the loneliness of a quarantine.
What it does
Users can connect to each other and form groups.
Every group can decide what training set they will do.
When ready, everyone will be connected in a conference run with their webcams on.
The exercises will start, and users will be guided by with an example of the current exercise and a virtual coach.
After every exercise, an algorithm calculates a score rating for every user of the group and shows the ranking.
The group have access to historical ranking. and the current punctuation: this creates a healthy competition, motivating the group to continue.

As four high school students, we have firsthand experience with the problems with online learning. Video conferencing platforms like Zoom, WebEx and Google Hangouts are tools for
businesses
, not a replacement for the classroom. Although they do support basic conversations and lectures, they lack the features necessary to facilitate the kind of personalized learning available in physical schools. Teachers can barely see the class while presenting, and students can't ask for clarification. I (Amrit) suffer from a learning disability, and it is extremely difficult for me and my peers to get the academic support we need over Zoom, which our high school has adopted. If a student is getting distracted in the classroom, a gentle reminder from the teacher is all that's needed, but no such alternative is available over online learning. Moreover, if a student isn't understanding the material, the teacher can slow down during class, but again, this is not possible through the current system. We propose InsideScoop-- a conferencing-system agnostic platform that uses cutting-edge convolutional neural networks to give teachers insight into the learning and engagement of each student in the classroom, so no student is left behind.
What it does
InsideScoop uses cutting-edge PyTorch deep learning models to personalize student experiences in a class by providing actionable, real-time reports to teachers. In a simple and intuitive teacher application, InsideScoop displays student attentiveness, engagement, participation, and understanding of the material presented in class, so that students who need more help can get it. Because of our intelligent C++ based video analyzing engine, InsideScoop will be able to deliver insights regardless of the student's conferencing software (Zoom, WebEx, Hangouts, MS Teams, etc.), or the student's operating system (Windows, Linux, OS X). These insights in the teacher application are powered by cutting-edge convolutional neural networks in PyTorch that analyze student engagement in a privacy respectful way. InsideScoop, before it alerts teachers that a specific student might be getting off task, alerts the student, to allow them to engage in the content without teacher intervention. We hope that this will reinforce this sort of self-correcting behavior in the future. InsideScoop's insights extend beyond distracted students. If our machine learning models predict that a student is disengaged, we alert teachers to slow their pace. This removes the need for teachers to stop teaching and ask the entire class whether or not they understand the content (and shy students don't often respond). In addition to reporting their engagement state, we also measure a student's participation through audio input. We even create a participation grade for them sampled from a gaussian distribution. This sort of personalized education has been a massive struggle in the transition to online school, especially among students with learning disabilities. We believe that InsideScoop can bridge the gap of personalized learning in a very impersonal education system.
How I built it
We implemented two applications: a Swift macOS app for teachers that displays student engagement and class participation in real-time, and a cross-platform student app in C++ that processes and uploads data to our AWS backend websocket server that we wrote ourselves. The student app analyzes streaming audio input from the user’s microphone during class to calculate the time a student was participating in the conversation. It sends this to the socket along with periodic images captured from the student’s camera, which are used to recognize their engagement during class. On our backend server in AWS, we trained a PyTorch convolutional neural network to recognize student engagement. Finally, we then forwarded that data to the teacher app, which displays all of this information in an intuitive dashboard. This dashboard features a letter grade powered by a normal distribution algorithm which takes into account the total class size to determine optimal participation. In terms of project management tools, we used GitHub for version control, Slack for communication and Trello for issue tracking. Most of our engineering was done in “pair-programming” style over Zoom, which helped us work through bugs faster. We implemented the entire platform from idea to app during the Hackathon, and look forward to seeing where it takes us!
Challenges I ran into
Backend:
Since we were using websockets to facilitate communication between the student and teacher clients, sharing information across these sockets (which are isolated to their threads), was quite difficult. Ultimately, Amrit ended up using RabbitMQ as a message broker between the student and the client. Additionally, there was very little training data for our task of classifying student engagement in convolutional neural networks, so we had to finetune an existing VGGNet model.
Student App:
Since C++ is a very low level language, Sasha had to debug a lot of very cryptic and oftentimes difficult errors and unexpected behaviors. However, by using a C++ debugger like gdb, this was slightly easier.
Teacher App:
For us, the biggest challenge was integration with the AWS websocket server. While at first we were challenged by the idea of integrating our UX/UI with a socket receiving information in real time, we eventually powered through it.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The biggest thing we are proud of is the product we were able to put together in such a limited time. The fact that we hadn’t come in with a single line of code and finished with a macOS teacher app, a cross-platform student app in C++, an AWS backend websocket server that we wrote ourselves, and an extremely accurate computer vision model feels truly great.
Another thing we are very proud of is the way it looks. As a team we believe that sometimes engineers get too caught up in the technical and forget about what the user needs to interact with. As a team, we made sure that this was not the case by developing a clean and intuitive UX/UI.
What I learned
This hackathon experience taught us a lot about the difference between assumption and reality. This was especially true for the backend where the implementation of the machine learning model ended up being completely different than what we started with, and that is okay.
What's next for InsideScoop
As we will come out of the hackathon with a fully functioning product, we would love to test it at our local high schools! In order to do this in a successful manner, we plan to establish student ambassadors in each of our partner schools. This infrastructure should allow for a smooth transition to our product.
We would also like to continue improving our tech stack by refining the ML algorithm to predict more states thereby providing more useful and actionable data for our teachers. We see this product not only as a solution to online classes suffering due to COVID-19 but also as a tool that could be used within online schools as the education sector becomes increasingly digitized.

According to a germany doctor, it is estimated that the distribution of patients with COVID 19 is as follows:
Critical state: (5%) must be admitted to the intensive care unit at the hospital.
Dangerous state: (25%) will be quarantine at home with respiratory aid and monitoring of their condition
Normal condition: (70%) will be in quarantine at home.
The connected mask is intended for those with a dangerous state.
There are not enough ventilators available in hospitals right now for all of the potential patients who
will be struck by the virus. An influential report from Imperial World Health Organization (WHO)
estimates that 30% of Covid-19 hospitalised patients are likely to require mechanical ventilation.
In case of a pandemic, there aren�t enough to go around. For instance, in Italy, doctors have to
choose who lives and who dies.The availability of such machines - no doctor should have to do this.
we are developing a solution that provides to Covid-19 infected patients a Smart Emergency
Ventilator in their home, int addition to that, this smart device can be supervised by their doctors
without any cantact with them .
What it does
ur solution is a Smart Emergency Ventilator which will be automated and controlled remotely to
keep infected people at home.
This solution is divided into two parts:
In the hardware part we have :
A connected mask that summarizes several types of sensors (..) linked to a database can allow
the patient's progress to be recorded in real time, data transfer to the cloud will be provided
by a microcontroller.
A mechanism that automates the operation of the manual resuscitator based on a motor that
would govern the patient's breathing speed, the system would be checked and controlled by a
specialist doctor crossing to a platform that displays the parameters vital at a distance
At the touch of a button, the HOMEDOCTOR can connect to an Android device, which connects via
wifi. The device will appear on the app home page. Once the heart rate, respiratory rate and
temperature are selected, the system will send these vital signs to the database.
In the software part we have :
A mobile application that connects to the hardware to send the vital signs to the database, the
app also can be used to supervise the patient state by their family without any contact with
the patient himself.
-
A web application for doctors allows them to supervise maney patientsat the same time

Inspiration
In the wake of this global crisis, in a time of great need and personal disconnection, we need a digital platform which allows people to help each other.
We based our project from insights of prosumer sharing economy platform such as Uber and Airbnb. We recognise that a peer to peer economy is possible. We extended the concept to "everything", removed the value extraction from the platform itself, and created a mutual credit/ reward system to allow social coordination around needs.
What it does
WeQuest creates a digital infrastructure where to submit requests for anything a person might need. The requests gets gamified into local "quests", where karma (community credits) , time and reputation can be gained. If the same good or service is requested by multiple people (ranging from toilet paper to ventilators), the system creates higher and higher "karma" rewards to fulfil the request. As people follow rewards, more people would direct their attention to satisfy the common need. In this way we are able to re-align the personal incentive with the needs of the community.
WeQuest can already be used to coordinate with people from 500m to 5km, effectively relocalising activities.
As WeQuest removes the need to use money for goods and services, it will also be a useful tool during the economical aftershocks of the pandemic.

COVID-19 spreads via close proximity, often without any symptoms by the carrier. We are in a virtual lock down now, but as the curve flattens, we are bound to be on the move again. For us to move about in our neighborhoods and stores, we need to be able to quickly self-quarantine if we have been in close proximity with a potential carrier. This is the ultimate network problem, but localized for the most part, as we usually don't travel much father than our neighborhood grocery store and restaurants besides to and from work. How do we balance the privacy aspects and individual freedom and rights, with the need to collect who we have been in contact with?
What it does
While a bluetooth based solution has been proposed and implemented, we believe it has many limitations. Chiefly, it can only work when two individuals have been within range of bluetooth signal, AT THE SAME TIME. The virus stays on surfaces and lingers for a much longer period. Mobile phone based location tracking naturally comes in mind, but privacy becomes a serious concern. Our solution is unique in that it preserves privacy while captures all necessary data for contact tracing. Namely, we do the following:
We do not record any profile information, not even your email or phone number. Just your mobile device and a push token to send an alert to you.
We do not record any location when you are at home. We call it the donut. This drastically reduces ways an individual can be identified by location data alone.
We do not record any location when you are moving faster than walking speed. We don't need to know when you are traveling at high speed for contact tracing, so we don't keep it.
How I built it
We rapidly built the solution using Flutter as the app development technology for both iOS and Android, and Google Cloud Platform for the back end. This allows us the quickest speed to market with a full featured scalable solution.
Challenges I ran into
To get a end to end app up and running on both major mobile platforms up and running in a couple of weeks was a challenge.
To scale to 10's of millions and beyond location data from many individuals, performing complex queries using distance, time, speed, and other data points is an architecture and optimization challenge.
To design a full scheme to preserve individual privacy and security, without diminishing the effectiveness of the solution, is a huge challenge.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are most proud that we are able to come up with a design to overcome all the challenges, and implemented in mere weeks.
What I learned
A tight-knit team with a clear vision and singular focus can do great things in a short amount of time.
What's next for ExpoSURE Tracing
We have submitted to both Google Play Store and Apple App Store. So far both are held up in the approval process. We need positive engagement from both companies to actually look at the app, and allow individual users to make a decision whether to use the app for themselves.

Inspiration
Initially we were simply creating a model for our research course. It focused on how a pandemic spreads through populations at different levels of immunity. As the situation surrounding COVID-19 developed we decided to apply our model to certain aspects of the current pandemic ravaging the world. With a encouragement from our professor we decided to submit this model for this hackathon.
What it does
Our model uses agents to simulate individuals in an environment that is currently suffering a pandemic. The simulation is manipulated with the addition of barriers to emulate social distancing and isolation. The simulation can also be modified to have different levels of immunity to observe how a virus like COVID-19 will spread through the population once a vaccine is developed.
How we built it
This simulation uses COBWEB, an agent based simulation software with many built in features such as AI, Disease, etc. For our purposes we used the disease and the AI features to create an environment where agents are tightly packed to visualize the disease transmission paths. AI was modified to have the agents spin around in random directions to satisfy COBWEB's contact rules so disease transmission can occur. To show social distancing, we utilized the random stone feature of COBWEB to decrease the contact between agents. We then created different types of agents, with some that could not be infected and some that could, to show the relationship between immunization rates and viral transmission rates.
Challenges we ran into
Of course there are many problems we ran into during our project. As COBWEB is still in development, there are some features that did not work well with our model. In the most recent update the GRAVITY function was implemented; this however, crashed our model so we had to work with older versions of COBWEB. Learning COBWEB is also no simple task, primarily the AI feature of COBWEB which is highly versatile but also highly complex.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud to have created a model that matches the disease trends often found in nature.
What we learned
We learned much about disease transmission throughout our journey and learned many skills surrounding simulation.
What's next for COVID-19 Simulation in COBWEB
The next steps would be to include more of the social aspect of agents, perhaps focusing on the movement of an average person during these times. Additionally, with more information of the actual logistics such as predicted vaccine efficacy we can more accurately simulate the current pandemic.

I got inspired from my mom, who is a restaurant owner in El Salvador and has had a hard hit during this whole COVID-19 situation.
Restaurant owners, especially in developing countries, are struggling right now to survive during COVID-19. Many of them had to shut down their operations, because people are in lockdown and are not allowed to live their home. So, they have to cook at home to avoid getting sick. The delivery service only makes 3% of the total revenues and delivery platforms such as ubereats are saturated and can't handle the current demand. Additionally, 80% of the restaurants have enough cashflow to pay salaries and operating costs until May 2020. After that, the majority will go bankrupt and thousand of restaurant employees will be out of job.
Solution
Delivernow aims to provide fresh food boxes and simple recipes for every household who wants to cook under 15 min during COVID-19. There is no preparing, no shopping and no necessity to go to the grocery store anymore. To make this delivery possible, we have built partnerships with restaurants in El Salvador, that will lend us their personnel during COVID-19. This will help reduce the personnel costs of restaurants drastically and create a new revenue stream that restaurants were not able to have before.
How it works
1. Pick a plan recipe:
Wether you are cooking for yourself or the whole family we have different plan recipes to match your needs.
2. Get your delivery:
Each week you'll get your fresh food box delivered to your door with all the necessary ingredients to prepare your meals. We use high hygiene standards to keep all the ingredients clean and ready to eat.
3. Make something delicious:
read our step-by-step guide on our website to prepare your meals under 15 min. Now you can stop worrying about what you will eat today!
What it does
We will build a web application with the following sections:
Menu of recipes with the possibility to choose one and add it to the cart.
Description of cooking process for every meal with pictures and step-by-step guide.
Check-out page with payment process and customer delivery data.
POS plugin for WooCommerce collects and transmits the data to the partner restaurant (POS is synced) that will pack and deliver the order to the end customer. Upon arrival, delivery employee will confirm the successful hand-over.
Customer submits the service evaluation.
How I will build it
I have 72 hours. Day 1: I will buy a domain, hosting, ecommerce woocommerce theme for wordpress. Create content and put it on the platform for 3 recipes only. Set up Stripe integration. Set up and pay Google AdWords with initial capital. Create Instagram and Facebook account and invest 50 USD in ads each. Set up ground rules with the partner restaurants via Email and/ or POS. Day 2: Create more content, check the performance of ad campaign and invest more in marketing. Day 3: If the demand is higher than for 30 customers, expand to the additional locations of partner restaurant. Otherwise collect data and wait for validation or rejection of the business model thesis.
Challenges I will run into
Getting partnerships from restaurants during the lockdown in less than 3 days. Done! :)
What I will learn.

Latinoamerica
, developing region, where one of its greatest riches is the quality and warmth of its people. I am a psychologist and Ph.D. in neuroscience, my husband is a computer science engineering, and we both share the need to help others and the greatest cognitive challenge for humanity since the emergence of COVID-19,
Empathy
.
One night during the
quarantine
, after seeing multiple and large aid initiatives through donations of money, food or security and prevention implements for the most vulnerable published on different social networks, and after an overwhelming day of listening to various emerging needs in friends, colleagues, and relatives of middle class, different from the basic needs for which the world was trying to give priority, I sat down to talk with my husband about my feelings of frustration and helplessness, not knowing:
1)
How to decide
which initiative
support among so many available options, but
having limited financial resources
, taking into account that the most people in Colombia and LATAM are middle class, with resources that are barely enough to meet the main needs of their own family.
2)
How to ensure that the
scope of our aid is not limited to money or donations to cover basic needs
, taking into account all the
emerging needs resulting from adaptation to confinement
, such as household roles, teleworking, virtual education, care of children, social and family isolation, disability and aging at home, financial difficulties, money management, emotional disturbances, and isolation, among others
3)
How to
generate non-economic or material alternatives
, through which anyone, only with the will to
help and with their human resources
(skills, aptitudes, knowledge, motivation and social skills), can
"match"
with an
anonymous
being anywhere in LATAM or perhaps in the world, which needs help
through small actions
, but for those who receive them they represent a lot, in addition to helping to alleviate the feelings of frustration and helplessness of not knowing how to contribute in coping with this crisis world;
4)
How to respond to the three previous points taking advantage of what is no longer an option, but a need and the only resource that most people will have access to connect during this quarantine:
technology
.
Thus in a night of physical and mental exhaustion, what first wanted to be a "chain of favors" emerged, and then it became
"favorsfromhome.com"
, the
solidarity Tinder of the quarantine
.
What it does
It is a platform that
connect people
who need help with people who want to help** with their
skills, knowledge and/or time
, through
small favors
that help to
cope
with the changes and adaptations required during the
global contingency
by COVID-19 in different areas of daily,
family, work, educational, health, and social life
.
People do not always have to be available to help and can decide how much time they have to do favors, from one hour a week onwards. Likewise, when two people have "matched", whoever helps may not make another match until they have done their favor. This in order not to overload the person offering help and ensure that the person seeking help can find a solution. In the end, both will be able to evaluate their "match" and position themselves in a "solidarity ranking".
How we built it
We implement a website that connects to a database where questions and answers are stored and where the statistics of the system are stored to make intelligent matches between people.
Challenges we ran into
The main challenge was to select and define the relevant categories within the platform for both those who need help and those who want to help. For this, we needed first, to
identify the real needs of people during quarantine in different areas of life
. Second, define the
abilities, aptitudes, knowledge, experience and all the possible human resources
with which people could help others. And finally, we needed to know if
people would be willing to use such a platform
and
how much of their time would they donate
to do small favors such as advising, for example, on virtual education, telecommuting, technology, household issues, emotional, spiritual and health aspects. and well-being etc. To do this, we build a quick survey that we attach, along with its results and from which we define the connection routes between potential users of the platform.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We still have a long way to go, but we are proud that our survey was answered by 95 people in three days, and that of 100% of the respondents,
our idea had a definitive acceptance in 62%,
and
possible in 31%
, and only 6% would never use a platform of this type. Likewise, we are proud to have put the
platform online without any founding
.
What we learned
We learn every day in every advance we make, but so far we have learned that
we can do a lot with few resources
and
impact
many people in the world by adding
small actions
. We learned that the
needs
of people during this contingency
are multiple
and in different areas of life, and to face them, multiple strategies are also
needed that combine technology with the most human characteristics of our species
. We have learned that
to re-invent
our roles and our lifestyle, all of society needs to
work together
because the
world will not be the same after COVID-19
.
What's next for Favoresdesdecasa.com
It continues to test the
usability of the platform
, work on its attractive and friendly
design
, design its
terms and conditions
to ensure security and good use of the resource. Also
disclose and "sell" your utility
so that it reaches many people, for now in "Latinoamerica", and later in the world. We want to
add
the functionality that allows to
evaluate both who helps and who is helped
, to offer an incentive through social recognition of who helps and allow favors among people to serve as an example for others to be encouraged to help, furthermore that people can
share their experience
with the platform through their
social networks
. We also want people to be able to contact us if they can't find a suitable area or match to either help or be helped. Finally, in the long term, we want to
evaluate the impact
that this can generate indirectly to
develop new skills, find employment, create networks, generate new work projects
, in people who have offered their disinterested help and have discovered new talents and skills that they could offer to get remuneration or be referred by others in the future to hire their services.

My cousin Hector from the Philippines, where the daily salary is only £4. He often asks me for money, which I'm happy to send, but the process is long and complicated. I can only imagine how frustrating this process can be for a Filipino nurse working on the frontline against the coronavirus. I want to change that.
What it does
Flamingo allows someone to request money from a family member working abroad via email, text, or their favourite messaging app. The sender receives all the information they need, then taps send. Simple. The recipient's ewallet is updated, and the sender receives reward points to use on a loyalty programme.
How I built it
Currently building it with a team.
Challenges I ran into
Currently looking to build MVP and test with beta users.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Coronarate is tapping to the unrealized potential of citizen science to track the progress of the pandemic.
Coronate recognizes that the data generated by citizens has tremendous potential to support the work of the healthcare professionals globally.
What it does
For tracking the coronavirus symptoms (Fever, Cough, Shortness of Breath), we use three simple sliders for each symptom in a scale from 0 to 5. It’s an easy-to-use reporting system to follow mild and severe symptoms – also for older people.
As a result, a global heatmap is created to visually monitor the symptoms. Each symptom can be tracked separately via layers on the map, providing statistics for medical use. Also we get timeline statistics over time on the progression of the pandemia. This is very valuable information for decision-makers locally and regionally.
How we built it
We built in onto our existing citizen science platform,
www.envirate.net
Challenges we ran into
Anonymity, data privacy issues, GDPRS

Aral Sea Before
Aral Sea Now
Save and fully restore the Aral Sea by building a transportation canal and a new city (Utopia) - to house a World Parliament and Government.
The tragedy of the Aral Sea is a metaphor for what is plaguing humanity - and that is the lack of proper - fair, effective, legitimate - governance - that transcends National and Regional Borders.
The scope of the project is to find ways to promote and move ahead with a proposal to improve Global Governance - and in doing so - save humanity in the process.
The Aral Sea was once the 4th largest salt-water lake on the planet and its loss is a scar on the face of mother earth. What makes the - Aral Sea Disaster - greater than most other disasters is that its loss is not a natural phenomenon but man-made phenomenon created by irrigation needed for growing cotton - an important product needed by all humanity.
Work is already being done to improve the irrigation system and the various canals to make them more efficient, funded by World Bank and others. The smaller northern part of the Sea (In Kazakhstan) has also been saved by a dyke, but is also preventing water from flowing into the much larger southern part of the Sea (in Uzbekistan).
What is needed is a - vast - new source of salt-water that would not compete with fresh-water needs. Such a source is salt-water from the Caspian Sea near-by. Building a canal to use for shipping could supply water to re-fill the Aral Sea. Fees collected for shipping could help pay for the canal as well as infrastructure needed to supply the water. A canal already exists between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea (and there are plans to build a better one) which in turn connects to the Mediterranean Sea and the Worlds Oceans.
To further justify the cost for all this - and spur on the economic benefits it could bring - a new city could also be built - in order to house a (much-needed) World Parliament and Government to (finally) establish democratic governance at the Global Level.

The problem we are tackling
In face of corona crisis many small companies switched their production to protective equipment. They don't produce large quantities, but they are one of many on the market who want to help. Their problem is that they don‘t know to which hospitals they should deliver to because they don’t know which ones are in greatest need.
On the other side, hospitals struggle to plan for the future because they don’t know how their situation will be evolving. Matching between hospitals and producers volunteering to provide medical resources is not supported.
Our solution
Our solutions is to bring the ends together our solution orchestrates and matches hospitals and producers based on resource demand and supply. On top of that, we offer the hospital a solution to predict their demands in resources based on the regional COVID cases
Hospital employees open the registration form on their mobile to get valid access to the resource input page. They enter their local information. They also enter the need of each resource. They can then see the predicted spread in their area coming from our SEIR mathematical model. The providers get access to the map and can see in which areas certain resources are located and will be needed.
The core of our solution is an AI that takes decisions based on real time data from multiple resources regarding which hospital should be supplied.
We implemented and deployed it with the shown technology stack.
Our impact
By orchestrating and matching hospitals and producers based on resource demand and supply, we expect to bring the ends together. On top of that we offer the hospital a solution to predict their demands in resources based on the regional COVID cases. This will lead to a better and faster allocation of protective equipment and the required medical resources.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/single-use-waste-plastic-for-local-development | Single use plastic = profit
Inspiration
I have worked in field of International Development for many years, and always in one way or another linked to environmental issues. My first time in Africa, almost 20 years ago, I was coordinating a food security project that involved planting trees. The trees were seeded in small black bags, and to this day, I can remember the small plastic bags flying everywhere. What is scary, is that 20 years latter, those bags if they were not incinerated, are still there. The irresponsible way in which we have contaminated our planet hunts me. Last year, while working on a project in Indonesia, the topic of plastic pollution was ever so present, being the second most plastic polluted country in the world, and I started to look for some sensible solutions. I came across a very interesting initiative that involved the creation of circular landscapes but exclusively with plastic bottles PET. It is a very successful project that has grown to many countries. But what was a bit disturbing is that all non valuable single use plastic, had no way out and was often incinerated in cement factories which are great polluters.
What it does
I started to look for a solution and by chance I came across a German company that had just brought to the market technology to convert single use plastic into fuel, by a process called pyrolysis. A 40 feet magic container, where you put single use plastic on one side, and out comes a high quality fuel. This machine can process one thousand (1000) kilograms of plastic a day with an outcome of nine hundred (900) liters of fuel a day. It can be expanded to five thousand (5000) kilograms per day.
How I built it
At the time, they were just coming into the market with the product, and to me, it was the solution I had being looking for, for a very long time. I am now working with them, and I see a practical and sensible solution to an imposible problem; where single use plastic became a valuable commodity.
Challenges I ran into
I have gone into my network to tell them about this option, and since it involves technology, often people don't understand how can plastic wrappers become fuel. It almost sounds too good to be true. Financing the equipment can be a challenge, and we have looked into the possibility to use social responsibility funds to co-finance the machines.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We have so far distributors in a few countries, and we are exploring with the European Union in Bangladesh to bring this technologies to the refugee camps. The camps are full of plastic, and refugees are not allowed to work, but there are programs where refugees can work for cash. With the use of this technology, we could create a circular landscape at the refugee camps, where refugees can receive cash for plastic, or they could be paid in fuel for heating their tents.
What I learned
I have mostly worked in the public sector, and now I see that a healthy convention of private and public sector works best. And the use of technology is definitely a must.
What's next for Single use waste plastic for local development.
Before covid-19 we were out in the streets calling attention to global warming, we all had to stay still, and the planet has reacted positively.
At this time, more than every, even though it is a challenging time, we as a world community need to come up with creative "out of the box" solutions to uplift the communities that suffered during this crisis, without forgetting our planet. The use of Blockchain technology in circular economies could be fundamental, since most people in the world own a smart phone, or have access to one, people that have no access to formal bank accounts can greatly benefit from having a savings account for the first time.

Numbers to contact in case of emergency and resources from WHO, CDC and Ministry of Public Health in Cameroon
Home screen to learn more about coronavirus
Trending news regarding coronavirus
Detail description of information such as symptoms, prevention of coronavirus
Inspiration
In my country, Cameroon, I was disturbed by the fact that persons around me do not take the outbreak seriously, they believe the virus is a government made up thing and the increasing number of cases is becoming alarming, also for the few who believe there is a pandemic, they are misinformed about the virus, for example, I had this "neighbor" who believed drinking all sort of concoctions will make her immune to the virus. Only a few people are tech-savvy and can go online to research and find the right resources regarding the pandemic coronavirus. The fact that persons underrate or are misinformed inspired my proposed solution for this hackathon.
What it does
COVID-KNOW contains information from reliable sources such as the World Health Organization (WHO), Center of Diseases Control (CDC) and Ministry of Public Health Cameroon and the exact links to specific topics on these different sites. This is to enable Cameroonians to quickly access the information they need. They don't have to search or click many places in order to find the information needed for them.
COVID-KNOW also provides statistics on the number of cases, death and recovered cases in Cameroon and other countries. It also provides trending news so users have access to information that can help them from reliable sources. It also has links to the support section of Ministry of Public Health in Cameroon website, to enable people to support the government and medical practitioners in the fight against coronavirus
How I built it
I first searched online and I had access to a lot of resources. I planned the steps involved in developing the app using workstream. I started building the interface and then the server and finally, I connected the interface to the server and other API used. I also used a lot of graphics since there are many people in my community who cannot read very well.
Challenges I ran into
I faced a lot of challenges when designing graphics.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I was able to build a version of my idea that can help people in my community. Regardless of the short deadline, I was able to focus and build my idea with help from professionals.
What I learned
I learned to collaborate and share ideas with others and to work under pressure and attain my goal.
What's next for COVID-KNOW
COVID-KNOW in the future will also provide information not only for coronavirus but for other diseases. COVID-KNOW will also have more infographics so that people of different ages and education can understand the information delivered.

Our goal is to encourage people to share their vision of a dream world that they would like to live in. This collective act of solidarity is the necessary step to develop mutual trust and harmony throughout humanity. It is an important component to create and nurture cohesion and unity to deal with the challenges we face today especially in a face of the current crisis.
We are solving the problem of the negative narration and fear surrounding us in the news and discussions. This way we move our attention to the positive visions about the future and establish new social bonds and positive relationships in the times of isolation. The idea is for the people to stop thinking about an uncertain future and start thinking about their dreamed world and how to make it happen.
We want to do this by creating a challenge where people need to record themselves on video answering 3 questions and posting it on social media with the hashtag
#worldcreator
. The collected content will be analysed and visualised to grow and empower individuals as well as communities.
We want to empower people worldwide to align themselves towards shared goals. That’s why we are launching “#WorldCreator challenge”.
First step is to record your thoughts on 3 topics:
*What is your dream world?
*What role do you play in this new world?
*What can you do today to move towards this vision?
Post it on social media with the hashtag #WorldCreator. When we collect this tremendously valuable content the next step will be to analyze the recordings using dedicated algorithms and visualise what is common there. This will help to set up a global compass and move in that direction.
We have started to share our visions of the World with unknown people, gathering together online video groups to find relief and to meet like-minded in the situation of quarantine. We have learned more about ourselves and made new friends. The World yesterday was not the one from our dreams. Now the whole World has stopped and it is time to evaluate our path. Our World won’t be the same after covid-19, so let’s be more conscious about the World we create and implement our dreams into reality.
What we are trying to achieve here is crowdsourcing a vision for our planet, which is inspirational, but also uniting initiative. We believe people will contribute by building hopes for the future to feel calm and comforted in these difficult times. We want to engage with people sitting at homes with some pleasant and promising activity.
FAQ:
How can we take it to the next level?
Helping people to connect. During the hackathon we will decide how to make a hub for people to meet and share their visions. It might be launching elgg.org platform or a Discord server.
What will be delivered over the hackathon?
Central website showing all activities with #WorldCreator and information how to work in online groups based on our experience.
What is the tangible outcome of this project?
We aim to deliver a visual representation of the collective vision and a research article.
Will the analytic algorithm be delivered over the hackathon?
No. We need to secure additional funding for this. The feasibility study was already done: we can use Google Cloud Speech-to-Text. But first we aim to generate a lot of #WorldCreator videos.
What is your goal in hackathon participation?
We hope to generate attention for #WorldCreator in the media. Also the influencers seem to be less busy these days… We aim BIG!
What is your business model?
It's a non-profit initiative. We can generate revenues from selling posters, t-shirts with visualised goals discovered in the process.
What would be the difference from existing solutions?
Is there any other solution that brings us towards commonly shared goals, set by ourselves? Until now we were following the plans set up by the media and politicians. Let’s aggregate the collective vision and bring awareness to the specific goals. This could be helpful to express thoughts that haven't been expressed before and can make unpredictable results. This project belongs to people's lives and dreams and is empowering individuals to stake their claim to the future.
Why video?
Videos are easy to record. Video gives a more personal touch to this. It's NOT the anonymous voice of a person.

Knowing so many people scared of going into work because there's no protection for them to wear - some of them are friends of mine working in places with confirmed cases of Covid-19. Also seeing that while there are some hopes for more provisions for NHS workers, other healthcare workers and key workers remain mostly unprotected, which is crazy. And fixable, if we can work together now.
What it does
Whether you have suitable materials, tools, a space to work in, of are offering your time and skills, there are so many people with 1 or 2 pieces of the puzzle, but just like here in this hackathon, they need to form a team with everything needed to produce high quality PPE. So we provide them with a user editable map to find and contact each other.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/u-s-challenge | The inspiration behind
The Polyup movement was built on a vision conceived at Stanford University in 2015 by visiting Prof. Yahya Tabesh, a lifelong math educator and an Erdős international math education award winner. Yahya teamed up with Shaya Zarkesh, a math-inclined high schooler who wanted to spread his love for math to the world. Together they set out to build a digital playground for mathematical thinking. With the leadership of Dr. Amir Zarkesh, a serial entrepreneur and awarded teacher, and Zohre Elahian, a philanthropist having brought technology tools to over 25 countries’ education systems, and through three years of R&D and testing in hundreds of classrooms in California, Polyup has made that vision of such a playground a reality today.
What it is
Polyup is a math education app available freely on the web. With the goal of instilling creative problem solving and computational thinking skills into K-12 students, Polyup allows students to play with numbers and functions in a freeform environment.
How it was built
Polyup is available today on the web on any internet-enabled device. As its core philosophy, Polyup is and will always be available for free to students and teachers. Furthermore, Polyup encourages all of its users to create content on its digital playground.
Challenges we ran into
Basing our mission on being an open and equitable platform that strives to empower student learning with critical 21st Century Skills such as computational thinking, we believe technology and the internet are the tools that can make this education accessible for all. However, the reality we face today is that technology and the internet is not available to everyone in equal measure. This is the main challenge we faced from day one and continue to face with our mission.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Many organizations are building their own Polyup activities, including Stanford’s youcubed (a leading math education center with more than 120K global math teachers following their teachings). Polyup has also been promoted by AVID across over 6,000 schools. AVID is the largest teacher professional development organization in US that trains more than 70K teachers per year and impacts more than 2M students. AVID’s new STEM teacher development kit for creative problem solving, released in summer 2019, uses Polyup for much of its instruction.
Polyup launched Poly Challenge in January 2019, during which students can solve and author creative problems and help others to do the same. Poly Challenge uses “Polycoins” as a measure of learning — every time a team causes learning in their community, they generate Polycoins. In four months, over 20 million problems have been solved by more than 100,000 K-12 students, in turn generating 200 million Polycoins. In the coming months, Polyup will further connect math to its applications in computer science and physical science using the world’s first Moddable Augmented Reality platform, enabling students to modify the world around them using math (for free!).
What we learned
On the journey of Polyup so far, we have faced a number of different challenges, but have never let them stand in our way simply because of a big lesson -- every challenge presents on opportunity. It is with this mindset shift that we strive to tackle every obstacle we may come across. In this particular case, it has brought us face-to-face with our over-arching challenge - how do we grant equal access to everyone? We know it can't be done alone, so we are reaching out to the world to build a collective effort all together in the name of equitable education for a better tomorrow starting today.
What's next for U.S. Challenge
School closures due to the COVID19 pandemic have brought the traditional educational organizations to a complete halt. Teachers have been physically separated from their classrooms and their students, students no longer have their classmates around to share their learning experiences with. In light of this unprecedented crisis, the inequalities in the realm of education that previously went unnoticed are now taking center-stage. Corporations with the capacity to support communities, organizations with the know-how and reach in the field, teachers who tirelessly work to build a brighter future our children, parents who want nothing but the best for their little ones: the time has come to rally together and co-create a collective solutions that serves us all!

I've been traveling constantly around the world for the past 2 years and every time I needed to see a Doctor for a minor health issue I had to go through the same complicated process again and again: find a hospital, drive there, do a lot of paper work, wait in a line and finally see a Doctor who might have not event spoken English well, receive an advice, pay upfront (50-100 usd per visit + medications), file a claim to the insurance and be patient hoping that you can get some money back.
The situation is even more complicated now: being stuck in a different country without an access to a basic healthcare locally is a little scary for me and I know there're millions of people at this very moment wearing the same shoes even if they are in what supposed to be a comfort of their homes & own countries.
I wish I could always have a Doctor within the reach of my smartphone. No complicated registrations, passport restrictions, waiting lines but a simple chat conversation with a medical professional who can help me assess the symptoms and give advice on the next steps within minutes.
I want to build a Global service to give access to millions patients all over the world to be served by the best Doctors by paying a small monthly fee for the peace of mind and 24/7 unlimited answers to any of their questions.
What it does
The App will provide patients with easy and quick chat access to primary healthcare advice by the Doctors from all over the world:
for millions of people around the globe
to have
immediate access to a primary healthcare 24/7
;
for Doctors to be empowered to work online
How we will build it
For the past 2 weeks I'm working on a prototype and would like to speed up the process of rapid prototyping by joining forces with designers and developers during this hackaton to move the project to the MVP built stage.
I'm looking for
UX expertise to finish the design for the Patient side and build Doctor's UX/UI
Software architects to help setup the whole ecosystem around the idea to start implementing the design
App Developers (iOS & Android) for the future build
Lawyers & Mentos to consult on Terms & Conditions and legal matters; financial model
Marketing & Business Development: brainstorm on the best angle to bring it to the market
What's next for Global Doc
Finish the prototype for the patients

Flatten the curve. From Instagram to news articles to talk radio, everyone is talking about what we can do to help flatten the curve of coronavirus infections and slow down the spread. It's why we are all self-isolating at home, far away from work and school and other people. But what if we could flatten the curve while also raising the line?
There are two main parts to the stereotypical "flatten the curve" diagram. The curve itself describes the rate of infection and the flattening of the curve describes spreading out the cases over time. The second part, however, is the line representing the maximum health care system capacity. This line does not have to be a constant, we can raise this line by more effectively using our ventilators and hospital beds, bringing in more doctors, and also by distributing coronavirus and non-coronavirus patients evenly among hospitals. This last point birthed HospiFind, which will help everyone both flatten the curve and raise the line.
What it does
Hospifind is a web application that helps patients find the best hospitals to go to in their area. The hospital interface allows hospitals to enter information regarding their supplies, such as available hospital beds, ICU beds, ventilators, coronavirus tests, and more. The patient interface requests information such as the patient's mode of transport and details regarding the patient's symptoms, as well as potential coronavirus risk factors. Synthesizing all of this data together, Hospifind locates and ranks the nearest hospitals to the patient based on where the patient would be most likely to get the best treatment, and also lower their risk of infection if they are not a coronavirus patient. In addition, it prioritizes maintaining the influx of patients of each hospital such that hospitals do not overload.
How we built it
We start by using a web-scraping protocol to collect information on each hospital in the US, such as their name, address, location (in longitude and latitude) and the number of beds they contain. We then calculated the rest of the hospitals' information (such as ICU beds and ventilators) using a program that simulates hospital data (based on published studies) and how the data changes daily. This simulation allows for the estimated data to constantly be updating. In addition, we incorporated a hospital interface such that hospitals can update the data themselves, so we can use their actual data rather than our simulated data. Once the hospital data was complete, our patient interface surveys the patient and uses AWS to pass the data to our backend (since we used AWS to host the web application). Our backend starts by using the Google Maps API to find the 10 closest hospitals (based on time and mode of transport) and sent those 10 hospitals along with the patient data to the "brain" of the application. The "brain" of the application is a decision tree-like structure that takes inputs from the hospital's and patient's data and provides an output of how good of a match they are. The "score" outputted is then used to rank the hospitals and the rankings are sent back to the frontend for display. Our frontend uses an interactive Google Maps display with the rankings of the hospitals on the side such that the user can pick the hospital they would like to go to and then be provided with direction to that hospital.
Challenges we ran into
Over the course of this project, we ran into many challenges. The ranking system that calculates the score was very difficult to create due to the lack of training data. Hence we had to create many formulas to condense the data so it gives a proper output. These formulas required much fine-tuning such that it can accurately create the rankings in various situations. Another challenge we ran into was in collecting the data itself. The web-scraping had a lot of errors since we got banned from the website containing our data. Finally, it seems like this always is a challenge, we had issues connecting the various parts of our application together.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are really proud of integrating and creating this project due to its usefulness in today's world. This is a huge problem that has surfaced recently and our project addresses it with an efficient solution. The algorithm behind our project took a lot of time and although it can be improved upon, we are really proud of how we got it to work.
What we learned
We learned that solving real-world problems are not easy, especially since there is a lack of data to help solve it. We really took this lesson to heart and it inspired us to keep moving forward with our projects since we enjoy taking on challenges.
What's next for Hospifind
In order for Hospifind to implemented in the real world, we need access to more data. Simply web-scraping the data is not enough, and although there is plenty of data of hospitals, they are all privately-owned or cost a decent amount of money to access. This increase in data will allow for our decision-making model to become more accurate, our simulations to become less of an estimate and more the actual numbers, and for our users to get the best response possible. In addition, if hospitals begin to use the hospital interface, our data will also become more accurate. While our model currently is used only for New York, we are currently expanding to the US (we have the data we just need to apply it). Once we get more data and our model improves, our next goal will be to expand beyond the US and to other countries. These other countries, especially third-world countries, have hospitals overflow more frequently than that of the US and its use in said countries will be far more substantial, especially after the coronavirus pandemic.
Important Note
To prevent unauthorized usage of our Google Maps API key we removed it from our website. The website below will work for the hospital portal, and in our video we showed how the website would function for a patient with a working API key.

I have friends, who are entrepreneurs. Denis, Natalia, Sergey, and Victoria. They all lead their businesses. They've built cozy cafes where I spend hundreds of hours with my friends, event agencies, which brought joy and chill times to me and my acquaintances, book stores and fitness rooms. Obviously, all of them struggle through difficult times of the crisis. An extreme shortage of profit made them cut their personnel, salaries, and their entrepreneurial spirit goes down.
I don't really like how they feel.
As we are in this economically contrast situation, where one businesses suffered the most, where others are well and might even prosper, it's important to create tools to re-finance businesses that are going through hard times + give those businesses a place to voice their needs.
Want to build a platform, where all-sorts-of businesses in need can tell about what they do and why they need financial help now. Want to build a platform, where people can come, and contribute even 100 euro to make sure the business will live.
What it does
The platform helps struggling businesses to voice themselves and source hundreds of microinvestments to stay alive,
And give opportunity to anyone contribute their funds in form of investments to any business owner to help them survive, and potentially earn some dividends after the crisis is over.
How I built it
Just an idea. Need to start it from scratch.
Challenges I ran into
Need to sort out the investment and fundraising part with an expert. It's quite a complicated part to make all parties be financially safe eventually and also needs lots of legal advisory.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Not applicable for the current project.
What I learned
Probably, that dedicated minds build great stuff together.
What's next for Covinvest
Get a team. Get those who are interested to build the platform, get some consultancy on the legal part, and help promising businesses and their owners survive the crisis.

Inspiration:
Since 31 December 2019 and as of 11 April 2020,
1 653 204
cases of COVID-19 (in accordance with the applied case definitions and testing strategies in the affected countries) have been reported, including
102 088
deaths. There are more than 100 countries in full or partial lock down around the world. There is shortage of proper safety equipment for doctors or general public to protect themselves.
Health facilities are over-burdened and people need to be enforced into the quarantine. It will reduce social interaction and minimize the domino effect of the rapid spread of COVID-19. Locking down a state or country is not a solution as more people will die of hunger than COVID-19. The better approach is to enforce people to stay at their homes and isolate themselves at home.
What it does:
The solution is designed to take help of the technology in order to help governments implement social distancing and better monitoring of the suspected victims. Solution is designed by keep data privacy and security at the core. If enforce a user to stay and better compliance to system guarantees better incentives from the government. There are multiple hierarchical user personas for monitoring and operating the system.
The solution operational current smartphones of the user with a dedicated Android app. Victims are sent multiple tasks over in the app to keep an close eye on them. The app also provide victims ability to keep track of latest developments and chat option in order to get in touch with the administration and periodically notifying about their health.
How I built it:
We developed Android App Using Kotlin and Web Dashboard using React. Our Application is hosted on Google servers along with firebase for realtime updates. We delete All the data once subject has Completed his Quarantine. We just require home location of user. Realtime locations are not sent to server. They are handled by Android to send us notifications when user leaves home. We have our algorithms to detect if user is faking hi GPS location. For this we may ask to turn on WiFi.
Challenges I ran into:
Looking for authorities and people to understand the dire need of such a Quarantine enforcer
Accomplishments that I'm proud of:
We developed in this pure intention to help everyone in this global crisis.
What I learned
Technology comes in handy to tackle adversities by intelligent use.
What's next for Stay Home:
We want to make it generic for all levels and types of governing bodies across the globe. Authorities can assign roles and duties according to their own hierarchies and structures. This needs to be integrated with surveillance control centers. Notify or contact people if they are in close proximity of suspected patients or too crowded areas. People who recently traveled would be notified to register with the government. We need to facilitate people to be able to move, responsibly, and keep the economic systems running. Add features for mental and physical health activities in-App to keep people engaged and healthy.

When I go out to a shop, I see fear in people's faces. They are cautious, and they are the people who did not believe they would ever be in this situation. There is one more thing - that fear was built up, gradually. People learned step by step, and they adopted to the new reality and tools (masks, gloves, glasses, washing hands, not touching handles) one at a time. From a crisis management perspective, I know that the situation is not going to have one definite finish line, and we will need to slowly rebuild the confidence of going out, of meeting people, of being in public without having to fear.
As the founder of Kendani.com online marketplace, I often think what do people need in this point in time, and at this time, we together need to understand what it is that we need when returning to "normal" life.
What it does
I am proposing creating a kit/pack/set of essential items that we will want to carry with us in the coming months when going out in the public is available but not desirable. This kit could contain minimum essential items (such as reusable/fashionable facemasks, hand-sanitizers, handle holders, etc (this is what we need to brainstorm about) and make those kits available to everyone. These 2-5 essential items would assure everybody's safe and confident re-integration back to social and public life.

Our first customer's labeling needs
Competitive landscape
Inspiration
One of the largest fall-outs from COVID-19 is the loss of jobs, especially for those who are the worst hit. Ishaan and I first hand saw the numbers of jobs being cut in the US and India and the rest of the world. The economical impact and lack of support to the lowest economic members of society are stark and to that end, we wanted to build a platform that will provide these labourers with a substantial means of revenue to sustain their families through hard times.
Inspired by Uber and Lyft, the gig economy was the perfect elastic band for job losses. Speaking with various Uber drivers in the Bay Area, they started on Uber when they were laid off or were in between jobs. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 there has seen a stark a drop in Uber rides as well and relying on ride-hailing apps as a means of income seems impossible in this climate.
Our team was inspired by the gig economy to build a platform where anyone with a smart-phone can complete micro-tasks in the form of a game and gain income through the process. Amazon Mechanical Turk, unfortunately, is out of reach for a large number of Indians who either do not have a laptop or do not know how to navigate the tedious registration and job procedure on M-Turk. Javen, Ishaan and I have spent countless hours either as workers on M-Turk or job posters and can relate to the pain faced by both parties.
Looking at the shortcomings on M-Turk and the strong demand for low-cost data labelling, we set about building a platform that does just that - mobile-first and facing towards the Indian labelling ecosystem.
Who we are
Ishaan Agarwal: Ishaan is a Product Manager at Microsoft with strong experience in development, AI and published research in HCI. Ishaan did his undergraduate and masters degrees from Brown University. Prior to Microsoft, Ishaan interned at Facebook and first hand dealt with the problem of spam and flagged posts. Ishaan has strong design skills having spent 2+ years at Rhode Island School of Design and growing up in India, understands the local context. Ishaan and Anand have been working together for the past 3 years on various projects: from ballroom dancing to learning Mandarin to building apps.
Anand Lalwani: Anand is a PhD candidate at Stanford University in Electrical Engineering with past experience in Product Management for Target, building low-cost satellites for NASA and his research focuses on developing sensors for the environment. He has two patents pending inventions and a strong background in Human-Computer Interaction research focusing on developing countries. Having grown up in India, he has close contact with the ecosystem and understands the needs of the labourers.
Javen Xu: Javen has a Masters in Computer Science from Stanford University and was a product manager with Anand at Target for the last year. She has tremendous experience with data as she worked at BlackRock (leading hedgefund) for 4 years as a quantitative researcher (the youngest in her batch!). Javen also has deep background in math, statistics and at Stanford was awarded the best Product Manager award. Javen and Anand have worked together on various projects and won multiple awards in the past. Javen's strong ties to China has provided her with a unique perspective on data labelling and tackling COVID-19
Tanay Kothari: Tanay is finishing his bachelor's and master's degree from Stanford in Computer Science. A genius coder and builder, Tanay has successfully built and launched multiple tech startups on various topics. He has done cutting edge research in computer vision and was a Product Manager at Microsoft. Having grown up in India, he is acutely aware of the cultural differences and knows how to build for the customers over here.
What it does
Our app allows anyone, regardless of their literacy abilities, to 'play' and are compensated with real money for their services. The app shows the data needed to be labelled in the form of images for classification, annotation and bounding-boxes in an intuitive mobile-based UI/UX and the labelled is paid for every correct label.
We maintain accuracy of over 99% (based on STL-10 dataset) by leveraging statistical averaging. By showing the same image to multiple labellers simultaneously, we can correlate the labels placed by different labourers and using their modal answer above a set threshold, we obtain the final label.
Using the low-cost gig-economy labourers, we can keep our costs to less than 50% current market rates (as compared to Hive, Figure8 and Scale-AI) while simultaneously providing a secure income higher per hour than our labellers would make working for Uber or as a rickshaw driver.
We securely and cost-effectively label data for startups, fortune 50 companies and AI researchers and provide a meaningful income to the worst-hit classes of India without requiring them to leave their homes or purchase a laptop.
How we built it
The app was built using Android's React Native and the backend is hosted on Google Cloud Consoles, Firebase and MongoDB.
Ishaan and Javen, a developer and engineer, lead the engineering efforts. Anand's and Tanay's role was customer development and user-centred design. We designed the app specifically for low literacy wage earners in India's population as the labellers and the accuracy algorithms were built in conjunction with labs at Stanford and based on the needs of the AI companies who wanted to label their data.
Challenges we ran into
Customer development: Surprisingly, it was not hard to get our first set of paying customers from the Bay Area. Reaching out to various startups and research communities, it was clear that there existed a need that filled the gap between Amazon MTurk and traditional data-labelling companies.
App development: As a four-person team, it has been challenging at times when our app has failed and debugging has taken longer than expected. We have had issues, though minor, with FireBase authentication and currently struggling to build out the payment integration platform for our labellers.
Labellers training: We have been able to get 14 labellers so far to have actively 'played' on the app. However, the initial accuracy of the labellers remained an issue. Through conversations and design changes, we were able to improve the accuracy.
Accomplishments that we are proud of
Measurable Impact:
So far we have been able to give out over Rs. 11,000 in one weekend alone to 14 labellers who are currently unable to work or earn any form of income due to India's lockdown. The labellers are shop keepers, drivers and watchmen - the ones worst hit economically by the crisis.
Improve accuracy in labelling:
By being able to cross-reference and use crowd-think to label, we have tested our accuracy on the STL-10 industry dataset and obtained accuracy of over 99% with over 5000 labelled images. It proves the model works and is accurate.
What we learned
Building is easy. Building for humans is hard. Engineering away on our own, without understanding the needs of the client or the labeller would have been easy. However, from day one, we spent more time understanding the needs and the jobs to be done on both ends of the market. We had to create an experience for the labellers that was smooth and more game-like, and at the same time provide timely and accurate results at low costs to our clients.
Customer development can be slow. B2B is not known for its speed and it took is longer than expected to go from initial 'yes' from the CTO of the startup to being given our first dataset to build on.
Balancing two sides of the market. Like Uber, we too need to balance both sides of the market: demand and supply. Keeping a steady stream of clients with data to be labelled and expanding on our labellers in sync is critical and we are still figuring that part out.
What's next for Humans.AI
We are actively looking for partners and companies who would use our platform to get their images/data labelled! We can help fight COVID-19 by providing a reliable source of income to India's worst-hit labourers while also aiding in the development of ML/AI algorithms. In the near future, we are piloting with a medical AI company to label CT scans, an online education learning company to correct homework and grocery delivery company to label receipts. As we grow with clients, we are onboarding new labourers and providing them with the training and help to survive these times.

ClicKoala Connects Sustainability Science, Ethical Companies and Coherent Consumers.
Just before all this pandemia happened, we were looking for a way to live in a more sustainable way in our daily life. Now it is more important than ever try to get there. However, we realized it is very complicated and we know that many other people face the same problem.
So we wanted to find out more and find a
solution
:
We asked
people
(via surveys in Spain) what kind of information they wanted to know about what they were buying (for example if it guarantees that it protects the environment or dignified work).
More than 70% of Spanish people seek to be able to make consumer decisions for ethical or sustainable reasons, but they lack clear information and cannot find truly sustainable alternatives.
So we created a
search engine
only for products and services that meet these eco-social requirements.
ClicKoala.com
To ensure that these products meet this requirement, we asked
sustainability experts
from 25 universities to help us. They evaluated many
eco-social labels
and told us which were the best. Therefore at ClicKoala you can only find products that have the greatest impact on the environment and social justice.
The
user
is able to easily find in ClicKoala.com reliable sustainable alternatives in an informed way and learn about the meaning, requirements and consequences of the certificates that the products possess.
We help and
empower sustainable companies
. They have a private area where they can manage their products and have access to guides and studies to help them get to know better the people who want to buy in a more sustainable way or to understand the potential of the Internet to make themselves known.
Something that we believe will be very important in the coming months
.
ClicKoala has become a
social enterprise
that aims to help move towards a more sustainable, digital, close-up economy for all pockets.
We are making sure, on the one hand, that citizens
consume in a more responsible way
. And on the other hand, the companies present in ClicKoala, are
generating a positive impact
on the environment and people, complying with the social and / or environmental sustainability requirements verified through their certifications.
Our main
challenge
is probably our
objective in this hackaton
. We mainly want to improve our search engine to make it your daily search engine, optimize its usability and people's experience, adapting the project to different cultures needs.
Once the hackathon is over,
Clickoala’s future goals are
:
Translate ClicKoala into other
languages
starting with English, French and German.
Start operating in
new countries
.
Create a platform that
helps any sustainable offline company to digitize and adapt
to the current situation. Aiming to get in 24-48 hours an online shop operational and get their products visible on ClicKoala.com
Index all kind of reliable content
, not only products and services, but also reliable information on sustainability issues.

Promoting “Solidarity of Commitment” through a robust chatbot and live visuals.
Inspiration
CounterCorona was inspired by the worldwide initiative to practice social distancing measures and healthy habits to contain and eliminate COVID-19. We believe that each individual prevention effort is essential to the collective success of battling Coronavirus. We are asking everyone to join us in the “Solidarity of Commitment” Initiative set by the CDC Taskforce, and make their efforts count!
What it does
We aim to be the premier source of truth regarding Coronavirus prevention efforts across the nation. CounterCorona is a digital assistant linked through Facebook that administers an interactive survey to users on whether they have practiced the CDC’s Top 5 Containment Strategies that day. When a participant passes the survey, they have successfully “made their effort count” and are added to a national counter tracking prevention efforts across the country. The national counter is visually displayed as a heat map on our webpage. We also display the levels of diagnosed cases of COVID-19 across the nation, and we hope that through advocacy and action, the number of people who have joined the effort will outnumber the cases of Coronavirus.
What's next for CounterCorona: Make Your Effort Count
CounterCorona is looking to continue expanding its message of “Solidarity in Action” globally, to effectively eliminate COVID-19 around the world. We will also implement a 14-day challenge, in which participants can track their healthy habits with our digital assistant for two weeks, in accordance with the incubation period guidelines. Our sincere hope is to combine everyone’s individual efforts to provide a collective solution to address this virus as we continue on the road to recovery.
In the future, we hope to provide incentives for people to take the survey and participate in the social distancing measures. We would love to partner with any companies who are also passionate about furthering this cause.

First mark is set to every player and who first reaches 4-in-a-row, will be declared winner. Before every move You have to cooperate with both players separately against third one, You'll have to defend yourself against their mutual attack.
How we built it
We played game on scuared paper, with markers of three different colours.
Challenges we ran into
We got too exited and mostly ran out of paper.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/gamify-hydration | For the past many years I have been tracking my hydration. It's a tedious and repetitive task. By combining tracking hydration and gaming, the idea is to make it fun and easy for anyone to monitor their hydration, which is important to overall health.
For the prototype, we will save time and resources by building the game in
Habitica
, the open source habit tracker and community.
Players will have actions that let them track hydration, but also an indicator of they are feeling. By players voluntarily sharing this anonymous information, a data set can be built that shows how hydration affects health. This can then be further investigated by research scientists and medical professionals.
If the prototype is successful, the idea is to build this into a real open source app afterwards and give that to the world.

Story CoGuard:
To help countries navigate through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recently released a set of guidelines. Inhere, the WHO states that miscommunication and news that deliberately consist of disinformation or hoaxes (i.e. fake news) form one of the biggest risks during this crisis. Additionally, in a state of panic and uncertainty, people tend to believe and share information more easily and are less critical to whether the information is reliable.
To mitigate the risk mentioned above, we have decided to develop a Chatbot based on AI that immediately responses people needs and queries and provides reliable information coming from trustworthy (official) institutions or NGOs. The bot´s signature strength is that it is able to form a connection between institutions and people quickly in the case of need.
Currently, we are seeking for the following:
NGOs, institutions that are willing to provide us with confirmed information. For example, teyit.org is an NGO that aims to provide correct information and to verify whether it is true in Turkey.
Volunteer translators so that the project can reach out to more countries in order to impact these countries and to spread the app into the world.
An IOS developer that is able to copy the ready Android App by using the IBM Watson infrastructure.
In addition to these, it would be great to have someone on board that is willing to populate the app and to advertise about it towards large(r) communities.

An outstanding social media platform for working from home!
Share your daily updates, enjoy memes from co-workers, and much more!
Inspiration
Due to the recent outbreak of coronaVirus or COVID - 19, The world is under crisis. More than half a million people are suffering and more than a quarter of a hundred thousand people have died. The only primary precaution or the only way to stop this spread is social distancing which we all are into right now. many institutions, organizations, and companies are incurring huge losses and hence to survive are asking their employees to work from home. But, this isn't easy right? From the reference of
this
article and many other sources, we figured out two primary problems that are associated with working from home, which are :
The individuals either end up overworking or underworking since they are at their home and won't follow a rigid schedule or any schedule at all. Their sleeping cycle generally is disturbed because of the workload and home situation and hence they wither delay their work by underworking or start overworking to complete the delayed work. This, in turn, affects adversely on both the individuals' mental and physical health as well as the company's targets or goals.
Secondly, since the individuals are working from home they do not indulge in any social or work-related
interaction with anyone. This leads to a feeling of loneliness and a lack of human interaction for the individual due to which their anxiety levels rise up and this also affects their productivity.
Conventionally individuals communicate and collaborate through workspaces like Slack, Discord, etc. these are designed for supporting in the physical workspace but do not work quite well when it comes to 'work from home' situation because it does not tackle the above-mentioned problems.
What it does
CoolSpace Workspace is a workspace designed particularly to help and support all the individuals who are working from home. It is an end to end completely functional workspace with all the inherent components of a conventional workspace along with extra components which optimally solve the problems which arise due to working from home. CoolSpace has an in-house optimized scheduler which schedules all the tasks and jobs given from the office in a very efficient and optimized manner. This perfect scheduler optimizes your schedule in such a way that
You finish all your work and tasks significantly before the deadline.
You do not end up overworking or underworking and work optimally utilizing your best potential
You get adequate breaks and rest which are essential to get back to work and for your mental health
All you have to do is work as per the shown schedule.
Apart from this, CoolSpace also has a native social interactive handle. Here is where all the fun happens! Individuals from the institution or organization can post memes, share jokes, or any other content they wish to. They can also interact with each other for work and or for fun.
Individuals can also view the most trending posts or topics which they can filter and read!
This is the most fun and highly effective workspace with an optimized scheduler, Fun social interaction over a marvelous UI. Well, all Love it!!
How I built it
We are using Machine Learning techniques and greedy algorithms for NLP clustering and smart scheduling
We are using Twilio to keep the individuals in the organization updated with the latest happening inside and outside ( the workspace along with important and urgent Notifications.
We are running the Twilio Scripts on the Google Cloud Platform instance or VM
We used oracle cloud Instance as a common machine to integrate different parts and train and run out Machine Learning Models
We used Oracle Autonomous Database as a database for our workspace (Images, Posts …).
We used UI - Path WebScraper to keep our workspace updated with current news and Happenings and we scrape through GitHub Repositories of the individuals to track their progress for efficient management of their schedule and real-time modifications
UI Path also scrapes for the live covid statistics in realtime and sends the updates to the user using Twilio sms api
We used flask for a great UI which is backed by a Python backend along with an oracle database
Challenges I ran into
Getting the backend to work with so many features and optimizing the scheduler was a hell of a challenge. Also understanding so many technologies from Twilio to GCP to Oracle etc. and integrating them with our hack was also physically and mentally taxing. But, we've got it all to work and provide a fun interface for everyone.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are really proud that we were able to build something of this scale in a few hours which conventionally would have taken months to build. We are also proud of our marvelous user-friendly, easy to understand User - Interface. That's indeed impressive, isn't it?
Also we are particularly proud that we could use UI Path automation for web scraping and Twilio api for send SMS notifications.
What I learned
Wow, that was a great journey! I learned so many new technologies and frameworks. We pretty much explored almost all the sponsors, from Twilio to GCP and Oracle! In addition, many valuable lessons were learned through the journey.
We learnt how powerful UI Path automation could be for web scraping and automating scripts.
Crystal clear communication and role divisions facilitated the building experience and contributed to our team's building process.
What's next for CoolSpace Workspace
CoolSpace is going to be deployed, advertised and used by tons and tons of people in days to come.
We would use UI Path to scrape more websites to provide more accurate and instant results and improve upon our twilio script to provide location specific sms to the users.
We are happy that we could contribute a little something to the world in this situation.

At the time of submitting my proposal, over 1,485,535 people have been affected with COVID19 and over 87,291 have died. That is around 6% of the infected population. That is my inspiration to request a grant to try experimental drugs and hand sanitizers and surface disinfectants.
What it does
I have applied for a grant to study three things.
The first part of my study is trying an experimental cure.
The second part of my study is trying to formulate an economical non-isopropyl alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
The third part of the study is to formulate a surface disinfectant.
How I built it
All three have different processes.
Challenges I ran into
I am currently in the conception and research stage. I need a laboratory and test subjects with raw materials to test out my theory.

COVIDClear - Attestation Symptom Select
COVIDClear - CLEAR
COVIDClear - AT RISK
COVIDClear - History
Inspiration
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a "new" normal for managing large-scale infectious disease as well as the management of populations seeking to successfully return to normative activities. The ability to safely and confidently transition from rigid social-distancing to in-person work or public routine activities requires an assurance that employees or visitors entering a facility can attest to being free of symptoms associated with the COVID-19 virus. We needed a system allowing each employee or visitor to attest to their COVID-19 symptom status and have that information saved for HR and environmental safety purposes. In addition to supporting the attestation process, COVIDClear also tracks user work locations to determine infection "hotspots" on your campus or environment. COVIDClear is of particular relevance in supporting healthcare employees protect their patients, co-workers, themselves and their families as they confront the pandemic in their hospitals and care delivery environments.
What it does
COVIDClear is the mobile app symptom attestation solution for employers to assess and track the COVID-19 status of their workforce. By answering a brief series of symptom screening questions, mobile users can affirm if they are COVID-19 symptom free or select which symptoms they are currently experiencing.
A native mobile app that allows employees enter a daily attestation statement. These statements will change the app into a 'badge' page (Clear [Green], Risk [Yellow], Alert [Red]). The app will also maintain a history of statements.
The mobile app will use the companies Active Directory or external authentication service. We intend to use AWS Cognito's Federated services to make the solution accessible to many authentication services.
The system will also provide a back-end HR reporting service. The service will send a notification to staff with a COVIDClear Admin role. The user will be able to download daily and summary reports via HTTPS (HIPAA compliance) via a secure web site.
The system will also provide a stand-alone javascript-based applet. This applet can be used to embed in another web-based solution but utilize the same cloud services.

Challenges we are running into
Tenant registration and admin user registration is limited to a manual step right now. After the hack-a-thon, that will need to be automated.
Current business challenges include
Don't know if the employee has successfully completed a COVID-19 test. This solution can be an initial start of an interoperability solution connecting patient COVID-19 test results with COVIDClear.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am very proud to be part of a incredibly smart development team. COVIDClear has been requested by many companies we are talking with. This solution will help all staff know that essential personnel working close together are safe.
What I learned
How important a good team that trusts each others opinions really matters to get things done quickly.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/80_corona-contact-tracker_coronow | CoroNow Apps uses Bluetooth Technologie
CoroNow App Onboarding and Symptom Checker Screen
CoroNow App informs you if you have had contact with an infected person.
Social distancing is the most effective way to slow down the pandemic. Putting the whole population on quarantine might work for a few weeks before the worldwide economie collapses. Therefore we need to move away from quarantine towards smart social distancing and corona tracing apps like Coronow.
Inspiration
We are currently at the start of an pandemic crisis. If no measures are taken, the virus will expand at exponential speed, our healthcare system will collapse, causing deaths in the thousands or even millions worldwide. We want people to stay safe and healthy and help them to act proactively in order to keep other people safe as well. Tech is the answer.
What it does
CoroNow exchanges short-distance Bluetooth signals between phones to detect other participating CoroNow users in close proximity of up to 2 meters. Records of such encounters are stored locally on each user’s phone. If a user has been positively tested for COVID-19, his/her encounters within the past 14 days get notified (through a push notification) on what next steps to take (social distancing, observing whether they develop symptoms, contacting a near-by hospital etc). Additionally, the infected user can consent to send his/her CoroNow data to the health authorities.
This enables users to take the necessary action sooner, such as keeping isolated for the required time until they might show symptoms and are tested for COVID-19.
Additionally features are a chat bot/ questionnaire to ask the user for symptoms and general health conditions and to provide information. Also, there are regular reminders to take the necessary measures when you are on the move (social distancing, cleaning hands, keeping you hands off your face etc.) and social rewards if you adhere to them offering an external incentive for social distancing. As a view to external verified institutions such as health authorities, CoroNow offers a dashboard to share instructions and alerts.
Challenges we ran into
We pivoted from tracking people’s movements and matching motion profiles to using bluetooth technology to identify close proximity to infected people due to 3 main reasons:
less data-security concerns. The data stays with the user.
less computationally expensive than matching entire motion profiles over days
more accuracy
more accuracy than in motion profiles (users can have same GPS coordinates but not be physically close, e.g. in high buildings)
planning
communication
Accomplishments that we are proud of
One of the features is that health systems can be prepared by mapping a new infection wave. If someone is infected a push notification will be sent based on the movement profile. This tracking option can be used by the government which impose a curfew or by the authority which decide to place an infected person in quarantine.
Other interesting and helpful features include:
social rewards (gamification) to playfully increase awareness
innovative user interaction to make it easy for everyone to understand
What we learned
Coordinating a large group remotely can be challenge but you find solutions.
It is important and fun to appreciate each other's work.
A crisis like this makes people focus on the things that matter and help them become creative.
We are all in the same boat. This crisis leaves (almost) nobody unaffected. Working together towards a common goal helps to overcome this crisis that poses a challenge to all of us.
What's next for 08_Corona Contact Tracker_CoroNow
Get the prototype with core features up and running.
Test the prototype
Build collaborations with sponsors, governments, health authorities etc.
Clarify data security concerns, as (also the legal) situation is dynamic.
Iterate on the core functionality of the prototype.
Add additional features to app, such as notification of (negative) test results and measurement of blood oxygen test via smartphone camera according to Sp02 standard.
The information and logic can be adjusted as CoroNow is adapted by other countries.

The media companies don't have access to unique pictures for their stories, even though there is an abundant amount of pictures in the world. The main issues are that even though the respective images exist, they are either not available to the public or not easy to find in the large pools of archived data.
An image is archived with a tag that essentially uses elements from the philosophy of Aristotle, Kant and Newton was therefore conceptualized.
What it does
This program can bring a worldwide image marketplace where people are both bringers of images as well as users. People. The world produces a billion images a day, but only a small amount is available to the public. Most images disappear in confusing archives, where, not even the author expands from there, let alone loved ones. Strangers do not have access at all and know nothing about some interesting family archives.
The optical image is divided into three groups in the world: professional environment, amateurs (all mobile phones), and community (professionals + amateurs)
The image becomes visible either when the image is promoted on the leading portals or the image is sought out in a familiar environment. All other variants are random and time-consuming because the implementation is empirical so, therefore, most of the archives end up being cemeteries of images.
The idea was to create a common global archiving standard which would allow:
the creation of a global joint photo archive
the opening of one's own archives to the world (without opening the more intimate ones)
different communities would find a common language
How I built it
Image is analyzed from 4 perspectives: psychological, philosophical aspects which have to do with the world view, the physical aspect and the combination of the 3 create an optical-symbiotic.
Challenges I ran into
This common language was invented and patented over 10 years ago. This time provides an opportunity for follow-up analysis on the challenges faced in implementing the product.
Subjective. Non-existent sale, idea incompetence of the author.
Objective. Professionals are not interested in a universal solution as long as they see no benefit in practice. They and their clients adhere to empirical habits to the last resort.
The most serious problem with amateurs is the volume of work.
Finding a perfectly accurate image is ensured by the existence of 10-12 tags. This is a great job for a professional. Not to mention amateurs. They do not bother to attach a single tag i.
The community joins only after professionals and amateurs
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
There are thousands of archiving programs which are all technical solutions, this program is fundamentally based on a principle rather than a technical solution. As a result, the project is U.S. patented which protects the fundamental basis of the idea.
Euroopa Culture Capital 2024, Tartu, planed to promote the respective ideal.
What I learned
An objectively good idea could not be implemented because of human nature. But now it turned out that the idea was born prematurely. Everything related to scaling can be solved with artificial intelligence, and the "old" idea can be applied worldwide today.
What's next for VendelinPAS - Photo Archiving Solution
VendelinPAS gifts those programmers that are willing to make this idea a reality from a technical perspective the usage rights for the respective patent. World programmers! Let's join in creating a global image pool!

Inspiration - The problem
Working in the finance sector makes one realize that the worst of all crimes is
White collar crime
. The Coronavirus crisis brought about crime in a different fashion, where the criminals without the consideration of the people and their safety, take advantage of panic situation and profit from protective gear equipment.
Every year in Slovenia alone there are a billion worth of SAR reports submitted to the FIU who publishes the data in a transparent but very unfriendly manner when the member of the public needs days to clean up the data and obtain something meaningful out of it. This is a stand alone file not connected with the general business database to obtain even more meaningful results and to discover how and where the money goes trough our state. Moreover, just because the European Commission links one country as a problematic in terms of AML regulation, that does not mean that non-legit business operations are taking place alongside the mentioned transaction. Europol in its research report in 2017 noted that "just 10% of suspicious transaction reports (STRs) are further investigated." Does this number hold for every Member State?
The SAR implementation shows two positive options; on the one hand, another tool to bring financial criminals to justice by gathering financial intelligence from an external source, and on the other, putting pressure on obliged entities to implement an automatised system for the detection of SAR and bypass its liability for non-compliance with regulatory obligations. With a sophisticated system and a third-eye inspection, detecting tax evasions and money laundering becomes a more effective method.
The anti corruption agency
link
of Slovenia also follows high degree of transparency but the application could have more in debts overlook on the connections among entities within the public spending and be more user friendly if a member of a public would like to have an overlook on public spending in his community, or in the state. Not only visualizing graphs shall be added to the database, but also SAR transparency should be dully noted within the whole information system to observe which state and EU funded projects have tights in off shore companies. Building upon this application, the European Union shall implement an application to oversee the use of the European Union Budget funds, noting the whole path, going from the highest governing body to the smallest entity receiving European funding with graph visualizations.
Once the solution is presented in the smallest entity of the EU body, which is the municipality, the idea can grow all the way to the wide range of the applications, more precisely, to be in pair with the EU budget spending and a monitoring tool, that the funds were truly spent for their initial intent as OLAF noted:
It issued over 2500 recommendations for judicial, financial, disciplinary and administrative action to be taken by the competent authorities of the Member States and the EU, and
Recommended the recovery of over €6.9 billion to the EU budget.
What it does - the solution
The application has two parts to its execution.
The AI evaluating spending and creating a corruption or success of the governing party measure for a member state,
The graphical overview of accumulated spending by recipient of the EU funds
link
.
With the first part, it is the intent to use AI to make a measure of the efficacy of the public spending within the corruption index or success of the governing party measure that is pertinent to the overall structure of the EU spending.
The prototype will focus to one of the smallest entities in the EU structure mechanism, in this case the municipality of Izola, Slovenia. Available data is just the one of outgoing transactions which shows with graphical representation aggregated sums of every entity receiving the money by year noting from which account money was deducted and which major was in charged at that time.
The end goal of the application is to trace the money trail from the European budget all the way to the intended recipient and show whether or not the money was used in its
intended scope
.
How I built it
The prototype proposal:
To design an AI algorithm for the scope of this analysis, the python workbook was used to make classification models using python scripts
Graphical database software to build a sample prototype of the desired graph database will be used to show the proof of concept.
Final product:
Fully integrated system merging computational results and graphical representation.
Challenges I ran into
The most difficult part is cleaning up and obtaining proper data for the analysis and implementation as well as having a protective and proper computer to do desired automated tasks. At this stage, we use a small sample to expose the end project and the idea that can lead to the change of EU directives to be generalized in all Member States for the implementation of the supervisory system on the EU level, not always relying to the correctness of a single member state.
The solution’s impact to the crisis
Making official data more usable for the community to potentially investigate any wrongdoing and raise it to the higher level from an initiation of an individual member of the EU community.
The Covid-19 crisis brought about opportunities for criminals to abuse the weak state of the society to profit from fear. The European Union dedicated several resources to all member states to help with the crisis and acquiring the necessity items to fight the crises, which was also abused by the criminals. The transparency of funds in the public domain will show any wrong doings committed by officials in the process of acquiring the necessary equipment. Therefore, the application will show any wrongdoings done in the time of the crisis.
What you have done during the weekend
During the weekend we have:
accumulated sample data from Erar and FIU of Slovenia,
constructed an algorithm to observe outliers,
prepared data to be imported in graphical database software in order to provide a solution.
What I learned - The necessities in order to continue the project
The learning path brought us to the notion in realizing that even tough the European Union is trying to implement measures to protect the system from money laundering activities, state autonomy leaves too much room for some interest groups to abuse the system for their own benefit with adjusted legislations. To continue the project, several steps need to be made:
accumulate data on state level,
accumulate data on EU level,
create a working environment with connecting the dots of public spending,
change AML directives and data reporting consistency accumulation in a centralized setting,
The value of your solution(s) after the crisis
Hopefully, build in functionality in a stand alone website and app to visualize where the money goes on a EU and Global level, that will guarantee the reacquisition of EU funds in case they were wrongfully assigned or even used in a criminal conduct.
In addition, there is a business plan associated with the surplus of funds.

Due to COVID-19 and the closure of schools, around 1.5 billion students in 180 countries are not going to school according to UNESCO. Only in Sweden, 352 286 Swedish pupils in gymnasium (high school) are currently studying from home. According to BRIS annual report 2020, 60% of the incoming calls concerning stress to BRIS in Sweden is related to school stress and a fear of not performing well enough. Quality Education is #4 of FN:s sustainable development goals, and currently 617 million youth across the world lack basic mathematical skills. Keeping education going is vital in order to control the consequences of COVID-19, and studying from home is a challenge.
The solution
Dothemath (
https://dothemath.se/
) is an initiative created in Sweden around 3 weeks ago that is already up and running at full speed. It currently has 1539 volunteering university students and teachers and about 6541 registered pupils who receive help through Slack. The pupils post a question in a Slack channel and the helpers start helping by starting a thread in slack. A chat is then held between the pupil and helper, and ends when the pupil has received help with the math question. We have a channel for every math, physics and chemistry course in Swedish school from 6th grade in secondary school to 3rd grade in high school.
During Hack the Crisis Sweden, our team developed DoTheMath further by building a beta version of an easy to use, online web chat, which now can be reached here
https://dothemath.app
. Feel free to try it out and please write something to acknowledge that it is you and we will respond from inside Slack. The basic idea is that the pupil who wants help visit the website, choose the subject they want help with and type in their question. The first time they visit the website they will be asked to enter a nickname, accept cookies and the user agreements. When they post their question, their questions will be transferred into Slack - The pupil never actually enters Slack. The pupils message is sent to our server, which processes the message and forwards it to Slack via a Slack Application that we have developed. The Slack Application transfers the pupils nickname and forwards their question into Slack. When a helper responds, they start a thread in Slack and send a message. The helper’s message is then forwarded to the webchat and as the conversation proceeds, it continues in the webchat for the pupil and in Slack for the helper. Every original message sent from the webchat will be sent as a message directly into the channel, and all proceeding messages in that session will be sent in the thread that is attached to the original message. This feature leads to two important consequences, the first one is that the channels in slack automatically will be kept tidy, and the second one is that the channels are unspammable.
Why we are here
We are now here to develop this concept further, to add more functions and get the beta version ready for launch. We will also come up with ideas on how to scale this up to other countries.

Today's temporary hospitals lack a healing environment for patients and does not provide enough protection for our healthcare staff. We challenge ourselves to change that.
We recognize the role of structure and simplicity in times of chaos. Our healing units come with insulation, structure, waterproofing, electrical, and connectors already installed. Our prefabricated units and a layout tailored to your needs lets us assemble them rapidly, allowing you to quickly react in times of crisis. You can expand the capacity of an existing hospital or even create a new one.

Nowadays educational systems of the most of counties faced the hardest crisis in the newest history. The interaction between teachers and students became extremely week and common school students have no way to get assistance with their study related issue. They have to continuously ask their parents for explanaction of school topics. One of the possible solutions is tutoring, but it is unconvenient and extremely expensive in terms of time and cash.
What it does
To solve the problem we've created a web application which connects peer to help each other instantly. Any student can send a photo of the task and get the lesson with a real fellow in just 1-3 minutes.
How I built it
We've created React.js web application with a space for learning. After sending a request it's sharing in telegram chat with peers. If anyone corresponing is free, he/she is moving to the space and the lesson starts.

In the realities of the world, the problems of the COVID-19 pandemic (or other recurrent viral outbreaks), the constant growth of chronic diseases, the under-provision of some regions with medical treatment, the lack of qualified specialists and the problems of high prices for qualified medical services are very important.
What it does
MEDUSSA is a medical startup project to create a remote system of online diagnostic, a model range of medical devices + AI tecnologys which contain in the online infrastructure for patient interaction with doctors, pharmaceutical and insurance companies.
The main part of the project is the system of remote online diagnostics, pharmaceutical e-commerce and analyze of medical bigdata.
How I built it
The project began in 2018 on the initiative of co-founder Dmitriy Kovganich, who has been allocated funds to develop the first MEDUSSA HUB prototype to finance the development of the software part of the platform, work out market development hypotheses and search for potential investors, but at that time did not attract developmental investment on the Ukrainian market. Which stopped the project for a while with insufficient funding for the project.
In mid-2019, the idea of a complete diagnostic device based on the MEDUSSA platform was renewed.
At the time of the COVID-19 pandemic in China, and its rapid spread throughout the world, they began to accelerate their development, understanding the possibilities of shrinkage to reduce the effects of the virus.
Challenges I ran into
The unpreparedness of Ukraine's online medical infrastructure (the country it started developing) to integrate with commercial telemedicine entities, and the imperfection of legislation to fully integrate remote telemedicine systems for patients, as a consequence, are possible barriers to the full-fledged idea of telemedicine.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are currently developing a secure video stream system and are working on combining multiple information streams of medical data transmission during remote patient diagnosis.

The original idea cam from @Davide Di Staso on Slack. He noted (for Italy) that "14% of families with a child in Italy do not have a tablet or PC, but now all schools switched to remote learning". The situation will be similar for other countries, or the situation will be even worse.
What it does
So let's build an app where you can easily share your surplus internet enabled devices with families with school-age children.
Interested people can search for a device in their area and also inform themselves on the website about alternatives, e.g. cheap Raspberry based computers.
How we build it
Let's make it as simple as possible! You tell us which devices you want to share and your approximate location. You activate the entry with a confirmation link that you have received by e-mail. You don't need much more.

Helping millions of SMBs that don't have access to e-commerce
Inspiration
By now, I'm sure you've already heard enough COVID-19 stats on how bad is the crisis and how the economy in every market is threatened, that the most vulnerable are the small businesses and up to 24 million people could lose their jobs by the end of the crisis.
Considering that in latam, 90 percent of the companies are SMB's and they create 61% of the jobs, we identified a big opportunity to make a huge impact.
If they are forced to close, and they can only sell over the phone or online, solution could seem pretty simple right? Well, something you may not know, is that in Mexico only 2% have an online payment method. that leaves us with 4.1 million that need to figure out how keep afloat.
As the COVID-19 crisis develops all over the world, more and more small businesses are forced to close their doors, unemployment is on the rise and could potentially reach 24 million people around the world, their only hope to survive is to sell online or by the phone. Sounds pretty simple right?
Well, considering that , the spending capacity has reduced dramatically in just a few weeks, and that's not it..
Other important data:
Up to 24 million people can become unemployed due to the COVID-19 Crisis
SMB's stand for 61% of employment in Latin América, there are around, 7 out of 10 accept cash as main payment method
Only 2% of SMB's in Mexico are doing any kind of e-commerce
That's a SOM of 4 million businesses in Mexico alone
What it does
Vendito enables small business digital acceleration by allowing them to recruit the unemployed as micro-influencers selling through the tools they already use: like FB, Whats App end e-mail. It's like door 2 door, a very successful business model for many decades in regions like latam and india, brought to the 2020
How we built it
We were very lucky to find 4 ninja devs from Pakistan, sharing similar pains, and immediately got the idea of 4 crazy serial entrepreneurs with marketing, business and commercial skills from Mexico City.
Just one zoom call was enough to get everybody onboard and excited. The first 4 hours were all about ideation, then we moved forward with defining roles and priorities and each one worked from our side of the world. As soon as we got the first version of the mock up, I posted it on social media and users didn't wait, we0ve got more than 50 registrants in 12 hours.
The last 24 hours we didn't separate from slack, going back and forth with translations, mock ups, chat bots, ideas, tests and checkpoints.
Challenges we ran into
Building the plane on the flight presents huge challenges as we tested different technologies trying to get perfect, seamless user experience, just to come back to the basics.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The team is the star in our show, everybody was very professional, owning thir thing and making things happen. Even with the time zones constraints we managed to have a good flow of communication with everybody engaged all the 48 hours

Did you know that only little bit over 30% of Africans have a smartphone?
Women entrepreneurs spend 90% of their income to support their families and communities for education, health and nutrition
(unfortunately men spend only 30-40% of their income on their loved ones) - a smartphone and internet may cost up to 20% of monthly income making it impossibly expensive.
We have been solving the problem of affordable smartphones in Nigeria, Zambia and Kenya for past 3+ years. As the Corona stopped our work there we decided to do something novel. We bridge ecologically the abundance of phones in Europe with those in need in Africa.
What it does
We make it super easy for people to donate a smartphone for a good cause.
Old smartphones receive a new life
without actually transporting them to another country. We sell them and use the sales to finance phones to women entrepreneurs in Africa.
How we built it
We built a woocommerce based online shop to sell the phones. Because of our partnerships in Africa we already have groups of
women entrepreneurs wait for phones in Cameroon, Kenya and Rwanda
. As we are live with our service in Zambia and Nigeria, those would follow. Our homebase in Africa is now in Windhoek, thus Namibia as well.
Challenges we ran into
Main challenge has been so far on mapping the user journey and getting accepted to respectable bank's electronic payment gateway. Also with little resources sometimes we burn a bit too much midnight oil...
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Although the effort to receive donations only started week ago at #hackthecrisissweden we already have been able to post the first phones donated to us. And and our web store is live!
What we learned
In short period of time one can get amazing people to support and find people in hackathons who understand that systemic change starts with women entrepreneurs digital and financial inclusion.
What's next for Smartphones4good
We need help 1) with improving the business flow and 2) the donor onboarding and submitting device for donation data (form) and 3)
strategic positioning
and the
marketing message
as a business for good, 4)
Logistics partnerships
in Finland, Sweden, Norway (other countries?) to ensure that the phones are shipped from seller/donor to the buyer as easily as possible. 5) Help us in marketing strategy > We need to sell the 2nd hand phones!
The Africa side is already there.

The HEALTH_ID system
The concept of HEALTH_ID
HEALTH_ID user interface
Inspiration
All over the world countries and people suffer from covid-19. Isolation is one answer to the crisis. But it only adresses one problem: The health problem (while economy and social life are collapsing!). We can only save our economy and our social life by getting back to normality. Even if some countries may flatten their curve drastically - Fact is that one infected person can start the whole problem all over again. That means that our rights will be ristricted for a long time from now! We cant get back to normal because we don´t know who is a threat for other people. Immune people might get back to normal life but those people simply cannot prove their immunity! That´s where HEALTH_ID enters the game...
What it does
HEALTH_ID proves the immunity of a user in everyday situations without intriguing their privacy. HEALTH_ID connects your normal personal ID-number with your covid-19-health-status. Nothing more, nothing less. Depending on your country the ID-number is a simple sequence of numbers that don´t carry any further personal information. Therefore the best tool to connect it with a sensitive personal information such as your corona-immunity-status. Only someone who sees your id-card can check your health-status. It´s like a credit card that in fact shows very sensitive data as well. If you don´t show it to anybody, nobody can harm you. Only people who know your id-number can check if you are a threat to them. Just enter a persons id number into the HEALTH_ID input field and get the state back. This certificate can be verified with a QR-Code.
With this super easy tool you can prove your immunity in everyday situations (with a QR-code) or online (by simply typing in your ID-number). With our built-in API third party platforms can check your health-state as well. Examples can be:
Digital:
Booking a flight online (The airline can check your covid-19 state with our API)
Requesting a visa online (The government can check your covid-19 state with our API)
Booking a festival/concert/theater/cinema ticket (The manager can check your covid-19 state with our API)
And plenty of other situations...
Everyday situations:
Admission and entrance controls of festivals/concerts/theaters/cinemas/shops/restaurants/hotels
Police controls
Border controls
And plenty of other situations...
Note: health and test data is provided by certified facilities such as laboratories/hospitals and doctors. The HEALTH_ID can be owned by a state or by a trustworthy non-profit-organisation.
HEALTH_ID is 100% free, 100% voluntary and 100% useful!
The only way to fully get back to our normal life is to differentiate between immune and non-immune people. Think about it! It´s so obvious!!!
How I built it
The best and secure system is a simple system. I`ve developed a front-end website (
https://www.global-health-id.com
) and a back-end database. As I´ve discribed it further on top it is simply a connection between a personal id with a state of health. The information exchange on the user side is done with a qr code which can also be scanned and verified within the HEALTH_ID platform/website. Therefore I´ve taken some board-libraries for qr-code-scanning and -generating and combined it with a database. HEALTH_ID works from EVERY smartphone that has a camera in the world via the internet. It´s made for a everyday mass-use. Even people in slums have smartphones!
Challenges I ran into
While developing the concept I put the highest emphasis on simplicity and privacy. While other countries come across a lot of apps that truly intrigue users privacy this one doesn´t. I figured out that people need 5-10 minutes to truly understand the concept behind it and then - without a doubt - realise that HEALHT_ID can be very useful.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Creating a dead simple concept that works.
What I learned
Creating a good concept is one thing. Convincing others is super hard.
What's next for HEALTH_ID
Obviously for HEALTH_ID to work health data is needed. Health_ID needs fast and reliable immune tests for millions of people and a facilities with special certificates. Nevertheless Health_ID can start small and verify immunity of few hundreds at first. This means that more and more people can go back to normal life. The economic and social problem is solved.

A lot of activities were moved online due to COVID-19 and quarantine. Meanwhile, a lot of people are losing or holding their jobs due an economic crisis. It means, that a lot of people will require to find a new job and in most of the cases to do this remotely. Indeed, Skype/Zoom/Teams/you name it can help to schedule an interview but it will be mostly impossible to manage all applications within a short period of time.
That's a good time for automating some processes and moving online. That's why we would like to introduce Chatty, a conversational platform for conducting structure and bias-free interviews.
What it does
Having job requirements, Chatty will automatically create a perfect job interview pipeline, conduct an interview and highlight important insights from CV/answers.
How I built it
That's a cloud platform built on Microsoft Azure platform. We are using the best practices and our huge experience in business process automation.
Challenges I ran into
In some cases we've got a feedback like "ok, just one another chatbot" which is not true. Chatbot is a
tool
not a
goal
.
Also, a lot of people were not super excited to use remote tools. But it's significantly changes during the pandemic. We hope this project will help a lot of organizations to continue hire people with less cost.

Covid-Self-Report
Flatten the curve, right?
We know that the state of the spread today will actually impact the society in a few days. Testing and isolation are the two main strategies to then forecast or reduce this impact. Isolation hits the economy bad. Testing is expensive, not widely available, and in some countries limited. Anyway it is near to impossible to test everyone in the planet.
We want to allow communities to self-report their health status, and allow decision-makers to get a picture of the spread in 'real-time' to close that time gap between infections today and the next few days.
This platform is crowd-funded all around. The platform needs the support of people to be relevant for the people in need of this information, and it was created by the people who are in lockdown in many parts of the world.
The project was initiated by Swiss developers Nicolas Uffer, Christian Müller, and Guillaume Hochet. They open sourced their code so that many other people could join and spread the idea around the globe. This motivated an international team to extend their solution to developing countries like India and Mexico.
The original idea is self-checking for reporting, but once home tests are available it will become even more relevant. When we team together we can achieve anything! Anyone is welcome to join our team. If you don't see your country listed, join us and lead the effort to make it happen.

What we learnt:
Anything is possible if we stand together and work together.
Development Issues:
The web app was initially developed with Switzerland traffic in mind, but the developers quickly adapted the application for countries 15 - 100 times the size, thanks to the cloud technology. Now the web application backend runs on a serverless platform. Different countries use different postal code systems. For example, in Mexico we could not apply the same principles of postal code system as in India. People in Mexico are not accustomed to use their postal code as in Europe

During the past 3 weeks, new major epidemic foci of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), some without traceable origin, have been identified and are rapidly expanding in Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East. Due to this sudden uprise of the pandemic , health services have been affected the most. It has become increasingly difficult to continue the supply of important/necessary medication to required patients due to lockdown implications. We, as a team of technical professionals, believed that we could use our expertise and build a robust solution that will surely help the authorities to tackle this problem. We are trying to do our part by giving back to society in these difficult times of crisis.
What problem are we trying to solve?
There are people who are vulnerable to pandemics - the immunocompromised folks with heart disease, diabetes, etc. How can we identify the medical needs of geography to effectively manage our supply chains during a crisis?
What it does
Our system offers a common platform for the Government, pharmacies, local authorities and people with medication needs to tackle the shortage of essential medicinal supplies during emergency lockdowns.
It allows the Government to collaborate with pharmacies and medical institutions to maintain records of medical supplies, patient history & prescriptions.
It will also allow the people in need of medication to request & have it delivered.
The system will help the governing bodies to understand the region-wise requirement of different essential medicines and fulfill them by working with nearby pharmacies & medical institutions.
The system will also help them to track the nation-wide inventory of medical supplies. This will also allow the users to digitally access their health records and list of prescribed medicines.

Our inspiration comes from the experience we have in immersive multi-sensory technology to achieve healthier mental states such as relaxation, clear focus and good sleep. Biometric real-time feedback, immersive color therapy and VR transformational content are tools that we all can use in our homes (on their smartphones, tablets, laptops or event project in their home walls) to train our minds to be more calm and better prepared for this stressful confinement times.
What it does
The platform is a repository of all this content that generates individual content for our users according to their biometric mental health indicators. We can track the indicators of our users with their phones and a small biometric device attached to it and and run a arousal\stress diagnosis accordingly. Then the specific content is retrieved to the user.
How I built it
We have the biometric devices and the content already we just need help on developing the web-based platform and some scenarios in Unity for VR. We would also need some help in ambisonic sound and binaural sounds for some specific content.
Challenges I ran into
The biggest challenge is to be able to have people to have our little biometric sensor in their houses or all the people to have a VR headset or a cardboard with them too.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We successfully gathered a community of therapists, content developers and small wellness companies to help us on developing the most differentiated content.
We also have very strong biometric data processing algorithms and symptoms clustering routines with a big percentage of validity.
What I learned
I have learned that the more engaging the content more time people continue using it and in this type of therapies continuity is key to improvement and successes.
What's next for TRANS-LATE In-Volution
Next for TRANS-LAte In-Volution is to build a strong community of content creators for wellness and wellbeing and transformational practices.

Inspiration
Experiencing the personal impact of the corona virus pandemic has inspired and fueled the team to create this solution to help provide an overview of the situation.
What it does
The service provides a website for citizens to report on their current status and actions in preventing the corona virus. The user is encourage to update their situation continuously if there is any changes to their status ex if symptoms are changing.
The service takes into account your current position when registering and the user may register past location after first registration. You may register on behalf of other people and define your family/household.
We have established multiple analytical tools to continuously build new and follow the development of the registered data.
The solution is based on user consents and highly value your privacy based on European legislations and laws. A user may withdraw consent or decide that the information is not to be passed over to health authorities.
How I built it
The platform and service is built based on Microsoft technology, in Microsoft Azure with different application and services. It is built on asp.netcore and angular 8 front end. different authentication mechanisms based on open ID connect, IBM cognos analytics, facebook integration, Microsoft maps and google maps to acquire position and register previous places, integrated with the Covidu messenger chatbot
Challenges I ran into
With a high focus on providing the service we now face the challenge in gaining the necessary attention with government official based on the solutions credible technological foundation and quality. Similar, but non - Comparable simple solutions is prompted to the market from medias and minor initiatives finding a "quick fix" with anonymous reporting and low security. By identifying users, continuous updates and quality assured datasets the data provided can be credible in terms of analyzing and getting an overview of the situation, but also in using the data in providing help to given individuals in need based on their reporting.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Building an amazing and highly qualified team working extremely well together in a "sprint on speed" track.
We have been acknowledged by experts we have worked with and gained tremendous support from our partners contributing with expertise, technology and funding!
Selected as 1 of 19 solutions in the Young Sustainable Impact Global program (YSI).
What I learned
That with a unique purpose that drives you - everything is possible in a limited amount of time. - And network, honesty and respect is important to achieve speed and reach.
What's next for World Citizen Report
We now need more features, actions and partners that triggers a viral usability and in contact with government officials. We will continue at high speed, but we will need to ensure a range to obtain the basis of the registrations reach globally. We have several ideas on how to proceed, and hope to find more great team players, partners, supporters and such in this program!

The coronavirus pandemic caused people to isolate themselves. A long stay at home causes a problem of low mobility, physical and mental health weakness. Physical exercises could help in this matter. However, the uniformity of exercises in a confined space can also adversely affect the mental state. Unlike fitness and other usual physical activities, dance improvisation involves research work aimed at studying the relationships in the body. One square meter is required for the lessons.
What it does
The program uses the improvisation method by
Rudolf von Laban
to introduce a person to his body. The user enters three parameters or uses randomly generated ones corresponding to the level of experience with the system. Further, the system composes a personal training program for him and displays in the form of audio commands that the user can perform in his own improvisational style.
Three input-forms represent the input data: 1) a combination of codes from Laban system (a string of numbers), 2) the number of repetitions), 3) delay time in seconds for rest between dance actions. A button under these forms controls the output. When you click on the button, the audiofiles sequence starts to play. This audio files are comands ot a virtual trainer.
Short YouTube video to understand what Laban Movement System is:
How we built it
Using a popular programming language will allow other contributors to join the writing of open source software. As a result of work on the project, we want to get a ready-made working application that will generate the necessary sequence of actions for dance improvisation controlled by a speech synthesizer. Now the
original program
is only available on the local computer as a console application. The task is to create a web site to make it available to other people. Now we use only HTML, CSS and JavaScript to make demo-application on website.
What's next for Laban
First of all, we want to finish what we did not manage to correctly implement in the current representation of the site: JavaScript code (with frameworks instead of pure JS) and design. Next, we want to provide the site with instructions in more detail so that it should be clear what someone can to do using the site: more examples of movements for people with different backgrounds. When we have a good presentation of the site, we want to add the ability for users to save information about their dances, to make it like a game with awards. In order to make the process even more interesting, we will expand the functionality of the site with other dance improvisation techniques and exercises, so that visitors will have a choice.
What kind of impact are you expecting to have with this solution?
We want people to become more physically and mentally healthy. This is especially important now. A physically unprepared body has poor immunity, and so many people do not like physical exercise because of their uniformity. Even those who do not like physical exercises can perceive Laban technique as entertainment with useful consequences for their well-being. Indeed, for their implementation, only one square meter is enough. We want to create such a system so that users participate in challenges related to the funny dance performance improvisation, communicate through the dance, get acquainted with their own body. Despite the fact that this happens at a distance from each other, people will be closer to each other mentally.

Our new prototype of no-rinse soap that we want to develop thanks to the sales of our upcycled soap with used oil.
Several test have been made to confirm that our soap is safe for skins and health
Used cooking represent one of the worst water polluter in urban areas of Madagascar
We use molds of recycled materials soaps (here a pot of yogurt)
We also add essential oils to our soaps (Niaouli, Ravintsara) and coconut oil

The problem in facing COVID-19 in Madagascar: limited access to soap and water
Our country is considered among the poorest countries in the world - it is not only being affected by the increasing numbers of COVID-19 patients [104 individuals tested positive until now] , but Madagascar is also a place where other infectious diseases like diarrhea is still one of the main causes of death among children. Washing your hands is an important act of protection against these diseases. However, according to UNICEF, 3 out of 4 people do not have access to soap and water. Nearly half the population of Madagascar lives in severe poverty.
The number of people in urban areas is growing at around twice the rate of the rest of the world, compounding challenges already caused by a lack of sufficient water and sanitation services.
Two thirds of people in the capital Antananarivo live in informal settlements, none of the city’s waste is treated effectively and only a small area has sewers. This has a huge impact on the health, safety and dignity of those living in low-income communities.
The number of victims can be multiplied very quickly exponentially in this context. We need a solution!
Our Solution
At Green N Kool we have developed a soap that will be distributed to the most needed people in Madagascar during these difficult COVID-19 times. We have developed a solidarity system:
1 soap bought = 1 soap given to vulnerable people, associations, NGOs.
Thanks to one partner, we will also add a mask given from free with the soap in the next few days.
We're also glad that a dozen of NGOs and associations are already motivated to join us in this initiative.
Environmental benefits: the soap is eco-friendly
During the past few months our team has tested and developed a soap made of used cooking oil that is affordable and safe for skin.
Indeed, waste oil spilled in the environment presents a real danger to our environment. Thrown into water, the oil freezes and forms a film on the surface. Accumulated oil can clog pipes, especially in winter. The film formed by this oil prevents the circulation of oxygen in the water. In the pipes, this corrupts the bacteria responsible for the purification of wastewater. In nature, it is harmful to aquatic fauna and flora. Wastewater treatment plants are also victims of the presence of waste oils in the pipes. These are the source of an alarming additional depollution cost. Burning oils has disastrous effects too. Performed in poor conditions, the combustion of the oil causes toxic fumes to be returned to the atmosphere and the release of carcinogens. The oils thrown away with household waste cause damage to the incineration oven. However, in Madagascar, there is no public collection or recycling system plan to fight this source of dangerous pollution.
As our sales increase we will start investing in our new prototype of no rinse-soap.
Why us? And our next steps with the Global Hack
Our social business, the Green N Kool, launched in 2016, is recognized for its commitment towards waste recovery, promotion of sustainable alternatives and empowerment of vulnerable people.
While developing our eco-friendly soap during the past months, we have simultaneously proven that more and more restaurants, individuals and companies want to contribute now to our solidarity distribution system.
In order to facilitate the collection of used cooking oil, we thought about an
app that will facilitate our collection routes, encourage people to contribute and that could also indicate a collecting point. A national mobile provider is ready to help us in this awareness campaign to promote the app and our project.
Other digital bonus
In addition to the app we are working on during this Global Hack, our challenge is also to :
-- will include a quiz which will guide each client on a soap according to their needs and skin type.
develop a website that will include on online game (and more to come) : each gamer will earn points by winning that could be converted into free soaps that will be given to one of our partners (associations/NGOs). This measure is mostly towards the people not living in Madagascar but who want to contribute to our project in a fun way.
A wonderful team : Green Warriors
We have different profiles in our team : social workers, environmentalist, waste management specialist, chemistry engineer, project manager but also vulnerable people working on the packaging of our soaps.
Thanks to the Global Hack we also have now a team of 7 developers who contribute to our project.
Challenges we run into
Prejudices against used cooked oil from a few customers
Access to raw materials during confinement. We have to find alternatives and new providers.
Accomplishments that we are proud of
A few days ago, our project Alt. Soap won the 1 first prize at the Madagascar national hackathon on COVID-19, Hack the crisis thanks to the prototype of no-rinse soap we created.
The Green N Kool has been awarded as Best Social Startup for Madagascar at Southern Africa Startup Awards 2019. Its founder and CEO, Ms. Marie Christina Kolo was also chosen as Female Role Model of the year at the same competition and was 2nd runner up at the 2018 WWF Africa Youth Awards representing Madagascar.
.
What's next for Alt. Soap
We would like increase our Soap production (up to 10 000 soaps per month), sell them in supermarket shelves and reach more vulnerable people for a greater impact through our solidarity soap.
Our model is simple but it is pragmatic and is responding to an urgent need.

A device that provides powerful lighting for all types of vehicles by using lights tubes with Nanotechnology to control of dazzled light.
There are contacts with the United Nations, the WHO, the World Bank and the International Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety.
Inspiration
As the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak continues to impact our lives, Towards helping countries in Africa and South Asia get ready now, we can save lives and also slow the global circulation of the viruses—is focused particularly now on developing countries. These are the actions that leaders should be taking now. There is no time to waste.
What it does
Manufacturing an invention of the actual application of vaccines and treatment of diseases for all persons in isolated far areas which affected the poor to reach hospital,.
The transition by security is the first engine of a society that is sustainable to preserve people's lives for easy communication between developed peoples, marginalized people and the poor in remote areas away from large cities because there are not enough paved roads to allow movement from a large number of people. Because the construction of paved roads with lighting costs the budgets of these countries large sums of money that these countries cannot provide to promote health awareness, help to treat diseases, Educated and healthy woman and children will lead their communities out of diseases and poverty, build the thriving nations of tomorrow. According to the (UNFPA) globally, 800 women a day die from pregnancy and childbirth without access to safe contraception, women are left vulnerable to pregnancy, often when they are too young – with horrific consequences, A teen girl is twice as likely to die in pregnancy and childbirth from as older women.
Also, there are no bright roads that allow safe overnight travel of specialized medical personnel to carry out full disease immunization operations to raise health awareness and complete immunization against all infectious diseases
as the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak continues to impact our lives, HIV and Ebola among these poor communities that do not have the money to travel to hospitals in big cities, Especially sick children and elderly people who cannot move and pregnant women who cannot afford to travel on unlit rough roads at night are extremely crowded during the day, and they also make sure that women have access to life-saving medicines during childbirth.
As will for long-distance road travel at night where there is no lighting, for vehicles equipped for blood donation. It contains laboratories for blood quality analysis and conservation and then returns to blood banks in major cities to reach blood donors in communities that live far from civilized because they have little money to travel to blood donation banks in major cities, which contributes strongly to increase the blood yield and save many lives.
How I built it
I have two inventions were implemented to develop the night lighting system patents No, 26771/2011 and No, 29238 / 2014 (A device that provides powerful lighting for all types of vehicles using lights tubes without dazzled) Issued by the Academy of Scientific Research in Cairo Egypt.
To develop the installation of the current lighting detectors in a very narrow area just in front of the vehicles, it is not allowed to install a device to control of light away from the eyes of others, causing extreme confusion on vision since the first invention of 1886 till now, where Light flows by speed 300,000 m/s to strike the force of human and animal eye nerve and the uncles temporary he the main reason for the increase of incidents the night.
Is done by installation inside of body vehicle to the rear is far from the front (An invention of a device that provides powerful lighting for all types of vehicles using lights tubes without dazzled) to control such glow on, then redirected to the front for radiate through the Tubes of lights within it a nanotechnology-treated lighting element, to support and increase the power of lighting without dazzled, with the diffusion of light at a near-Earth horizontal level in all directions, they are installed inside the projector at specific angles and degrees to control the direction of light away from the vision of others, by optical sensors, one mounted at the driver's view level and the other above the light exit slot, They communicate with each other a special mobile device system(The ‘mobile edge)’ to signal a motor that moves the projector from the rear up or down to change the angle of the light output from the front at a specific level of the light sensor installed in the vehicle by the driver below the eye level automatic 200 meters after which the dazzled light is lost, for steering the light is far from the other driver's vision level to prevent light dazzled interference traditional. (There are also other elements that will be explained later)
Challenges I ran into
The invention controls at the dazzled lights when approaching the cars each other the strong headlights become very painful because they cause severe interference to the vision, as they approach each other, leading to a complete loss of vision and forcing the two drivers to turn off the strong lights and walk only in the light of small lights so that each car can Is a way away from the collision of the two vehicles and without disturbing the vision of the road to each of the leaders of the two vehicles to the other where this causes the loss of focus into making a safe decision.. As will light orientation control stops the diffraction and of light reflection from snow when it falls and covers everything on the roads with a white crystalline layer, considering that the crystalline ice property becomes a powerful reflector of light from everything on the road collides with the strong night lighting system now used directly in all vehicles where it starts the light is a random force in all directions without control and the road becomes ignited, causing severe interference to the driver's vision and all those on the road, The practical solution available now is to control the steering of the light in front of the vehicle only, at a level near the ground to reduce the reflections of light on all places covered by snow; this is only available at using the invention, Also when the fog suddenly falls, the powerful foreground lighting used in all the vehicles becomes very confusing because the fog is made up of small atoms of water vapor, When the light collides with it, Which consists of contiguous straight photons at speeds of m/s 300,000 to collide with steam atoms and move them between them at the same speed and as a result of the heat of friction between them are divided into parts moving very quickly to become a curtain prevents vision, So we find the fog (water vapor atoms) moving at the brightness of light at the same speed of light and then evaporates, Therefore the invention controls the high level of light from the Earth so that the movement of fog water vapor atoms) is far from the level of view of the driver and others.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
There are contacts with the United Nations, the WHO, the World Bank and the International Global Alliance of NGOs for Road Safety.
I have received more than one invitation to attend international conferences, The last attend I received from; 3rd Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety: “Achieving Global Goals 2030”
Considering to the importance of the invention that was made on the international arena to reduce the accidents of night vehicles due to the problems of night lighting system that is now used in all vehicles, The last attend I received from; 3rd Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety: “Achieving Global Goals 2030”,,,, Dear friends of road safety, On behalf of the Government of Sweden, and in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), I have a great pleasure and the honour to invite you to participate in the 3rd Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, "Achieving Global Goals 2030” that will take place on 19--2 February 2020 in Stockholm, Sweden. Likewise, I received an invitation to confirm to join the SDG World Festival, which will be held from 1-3 April 2020 at the World Conference Center in Bonn, Germany. Where each of the festival leaders is an active participant, contributor, and participant in the creation of important content and talks that will take place in the event. The SDG Global Business Festival is a flagship annual event supported by the United Nations SDG Action campaign with support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the German Federal Ministry of Foreign Office. (Attached is a copy of the invitation)
What I learned
The SDGs are a bold commitment to finish what we started and tackle some of the more pressing challenges facing the world today because all 17 Goals interconnect, meaning success in one affects success for others. We need to go the last mile on ending hunger, achieving full gender equality, improving health services and getting every child into school beyond primary, The SDGs are also an urgent call to shift the world onto a more sustainable path.
Billions of dollars now spent to curb illegal migration and human trafficking, if spent on new innovations, will open up new jobs for people after that, no one will think of illegal migration and death or imprisonment, Africa has been hit particularly hard by the global road safety crisis. Also, security and transport are two sides of a single coin, called sustainable development society, because the spread of security among people requires rapid movement everywhere without accidents, as will reducing transport accidents contribute strongly to facilitate the movement, workers, goods and all the necessities of life, A 50% reduction in road accidents can increase a country’s wealth by 22%.
What's next for Actual application of vaccines
Manufacturing 100 searchlights Laser or LID Bulb and photovoltaic tubes work with a light sensor connected with a small motor to move the projector inside the vehicle from the rear to change the angle of light exit from the front to control the direction of light away from the eyes of others based on contact with other optical sensor, is adjust at other vehicles by the driver of the other vehicle and control by level Height of the center of the eye,
The price of the one searchlight is $10 thousand, this price is expected to decrease by 20% when producing in commercial quantities and manufacturing all components by ourselves.
Demonstrate the positive results of this advanced lighting on the vehicle manufacturers to be implemented in all new and used vehicles now, because they are interested in searching for solutions to the problems of the night lighting system currently used in all vehicles.
Build up a partnership (B2B) with those interested in installing this new lighting in their vehicles.
Present the positive results of this advanced lighting on vehicle insurance companies to partner with them in order to reduce night accidents to decrease amounts paid for night accident compensation due to interference of vision.
Presentation of the positive results of innovation on the United Nations Road Safety Trust Fund, which was created specifically to support these new innovations on 12 April 2018.
Demonstrate the positive results of advanced lighting on All international road safety bodies such as the U N, which issued a resolution in 2011, signed by all countries to reduce road accidents by 50% until 2020 and civil society organizations interested in reducing road accidents, and push for concrete action from our governments in the lead-up to the Third Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, to be held in Sweden in 2020.
Also international road safety bodies such as the (W.H.O), NGOs and bodies involved in light pollution control and environmental conservation, to order to implement active participation with all measures taken to demonstrate to The relationship between vehicles strong lighting at night, with environmental pollution for lights, Because an important element at global warming based on international scientific reports working on the limit of this pollution and did not touch one of the night lights of vehicles because there is no alternative.
The invention proves the close relationship between strong vehicle lights dazzled at night, which violate darkness of the sky with environmental pollution of lights and global warming to reduce climate change and pollution caused by the spread of optical dazzled have a direct adverse effect on human health, Because of the lack of attention to this pollution has devastating effects on all life and increase the climatic changes and natural disasters as the report, Short-lived climate pollutants, such as methane, black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)and tropospheric ozone have a powerful effect on global temperatures and many are also damaging air pollutants for example; methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming impact 86 times higher than that of carbon dioxide over a 20-year time horizon, It is also the largest precursor to ground-level ozone a major component of smog, which can worsen bronchitis and asthma and damage lung tissue, Troposphere ozone exposure alone is responsible for an estimated one million premature deaths each year. All these pollutants increase strongly when exposed to strong lighting and evaporate to rise in the Earth’s atmosphere. Also, have a direct adverse effect on the natural environment for the life of insects working on the pollination of crops for continued agricultural production without the cost, such as bees endangered and poor production of food is very important for human health.
What is Light Pollution? Most of us are familiar with air, water, and land pollution, but did you know that light can also be a pollutant? The inappropriate or excessive use of artificial light – known as light pollution – can have serious environmental consequences for humans, wildlife, and our climate. By joining IDA you can make a difference in protecting our Planet, saving billions of dollars in wasted energy, and connecting future generations with our legacy of starry skies.

My partner Ed and I were making an AI powered Grab and Go system for retail 2.0 when COVID-19 hit. Ed was sheltering with his father to help him out and realized there was a need, as COVID starts to spread, to sterilize surfaces for fomites. We decided to pivot and use our startup's manufacturing contacts to make smart UV sterilization enclosures that could be mass market. We're looking to design something during the hackathon that will ship flat pack and be assembled like Ikea furniture.
What it does
Sterilizes packages and tools with Ultraviolet light. We want to empower people with a tool to sterilize what comes into their houses, so they don't need to treat with consumables like alcohol. We want to eliminate the fear of fomite transfer of disease from things like groceries or other purchases.
How I built it
We are adapting our designs for our grab and go system to build this sterilization unit over the course of the hackathon. We made this decision yesterday, so we have built nothing for the hackathon yet.
Challenges I ran into
Supply chain right now is brutal. We are sourcing everything in the USA for the US market currently due to shipping issues from China. That said we may not receive all the parts we need by the end of the hackathon. We are working to find some overnight suppliers of the UV sterilization bulbs.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm a Roboticist at Brown University and a TED Senior Fellow. Ed has 20 years experience manufacturing retail displays and enclosures. Cat studied epidemiology at Harvard School for Public Health and is a professional photographer. Shawn is the technical coordinator for the Brown Arts Initiative.
What I learned
Over the course of the hackathon we hope to learn more about sterilization times with UV.
What's next for Avendly
We're going to run and indiegogo campaign to do our first production run and will be looking for investors to fund the development of the product for industrial supply chain use.

Inspiration
In times of crisis, priorities change, and that was precisely what we felt the urge to do.
To support the fight against this pandemic, we adapted our platform allowing you to keep track of your health state by adding this one extra step on your quarantine routine!
What it does
With Nevaro4COVID you can, for free, register your vital signs, figure out how they align with the healthy threshold, visualize their evolution throughout time, receive alerts in case of variations that suggest anomalies, namely the symptom severity, as well as get in touch with specialists of our network of partners, for clinical and psychological support!
How do you know if this is for you? Nevaro4COVID is available online, no need for installing, and you can use it on your smartphone, tablet or computer,
Whether you are at home quarantining, or in the frontline fighting to ensure that our world keeps moving; whether you belong to a risk group or just want to be vigilant; if you’re not Portuguese and are finding it hard to navigate in the national health system, or if your institution (health entity, senior residence, …) wants to be aware of everyone’s health indicators progress.
Nevaro4COVID was developed by us, to all of you!
How I built it
We adjusted our base platform of Nevaro - physiological acquisition and monitoring platform - for COVID. Specifically, we used Google's Firebase, which runs in Angular.
Challenges I ran into
Front-end development.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Having developed an alpha version in only 2 weeks, and having already several partners and interested users!
What I learned
To pivot!
What's next for Nevaro4COVID
Improve the front-design, improve the back-end (institutional dashboards, notifications, other features), and launch the service!

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/procurement-firestarter | Problem
PROTOTYPE:
https://firestarter.bonamore.ee/
The creative industry companies just like others are applying regularly for tenders and procurements.
Covid or any covid-like crisis puts emphasis on procurements since they become a valuable source of work for many companies trying to survive in difficult times. Unfortunately, many organizations take advantage of a slump in the economy and tend to prepare tenders unfairly, having high demands for no or little rewards. This reflects eventually on financial losses for companies seeking a valuable job.
Improving this process by simplification, digitalization and transparency will eliminate the “bad” examples and will get us one step closer to fair business. The tool in mind would make it work better for both sides: the procurement maker, assuming she’s working in good faith, has often little knowledge of the format, the requirements and expectations on the designer’s side. Creating a good framework for formulating an assignment and accumulating good practice (both in shape of templates as well as benchmark cases) would make her life easier – and give an equal starting ground for contestants.
We decided to tackle these areas of the problem:
• Lack of transparency
• Low digitalization (uploading small-sized files... )
• A huge amount of paperwork
• Repeating useless steps in the preparation process
• Too much work for too little money ( demanding spec. work )
The goal would be to set up a digital platform/tool providing a service for the institutions preparing procurements for creative industries.

Our Logo and slogan
Inspiration:
There was a girl named Kanto in the rural region of southern Madagascar. She lived with her grandmother and father. Unfortunately, her mother died of an illness that was unknown. Kanto and her family lived in an area very far from the city, where the road is so impassable. One day her grandmother fell ill and Kanto decided to go to town to find help. That's the purpose of SAFE drone delivery , helping families like Kanto's family in order to allow them having access to the essential drugs they need. In fact , not less than 50% of the Malagasy people do have access to medicines they need to survive. At the other hand, we have also worked in the national drug purchasing center in Madagascar: We noticed that despite the efforts made to get the medicines to all the regions of Madagascar, difficulties persist because of the bad roads and the landlocked areas. So we tried to find a solution to overcome the problem: that's how SAFE drone delivery was born.
What it does:
SAFE is initially specialized in the distribution of pharmaceutical products (drugs, vaccines, blood bags, lab tests) by drones , but in the context of the fight against COVID-19, we would like to extend to other vital goods like hygiene products or foods for example in order to help people face the COVID-19 Pandemic. So people will continue to receive the goods they need in allday life rapidly via drone delivery but at the same time the social distance will be respected and minimizing the contraction of COVID-19. In order to reach each region, we plan to build step by step drone centers , but for now we are transporting the drones and goods via vehicles until a certain reachable geographic point and from there, guiding the drones to the final destination.
How we built it:
SAFE is searching and working with aeronautical engineers in order to conceive the drones and an application which allows the customers to contact directly SAFE for their commands and locate geographically. We are also working closely with potential customers like pharmaceutical wholesalers ,International Institutions and business accelerators such as Orange in order to sustain our quick development. Therefore, we take part at a maximum level of competitions as well for increasing our chance to get the necessary funds.
Challenges we ran into:
The drone is supposed to travel hundreds of kilometers and bring medicines and other goods safely. It is a challenge that we will take up with courage. In addition to that, conceiving drones is not easy, finding the right people and convincing them to take part in the project as well is tough. SAFE is a big and long term project, so finding funds for running it and especially constructing the drones is a hard work too. But it is priceless because it is about saving lives. And life, like health, is priceless.
Accomplishments that we are proud of:
Prizes during national Hackathon and Competitions , one concerning the fight against COVID-19 in Madagascar and Africa #Hackoragnavirus
What we've learned :
The simple little things in life are most important: health, family and smiles as well as the recognition of the people you serve with your heart.
What's next for SAFE drone delivery:
We already have a partnership with a company that can produce the Safe drone. Our first step is then conceiving and finishing our first drones. After that, we will proceed to fly tests in specific regions chosen by our potential customers, In fact, we have already tested our product towards potential customers such as pharmaceutical wholesaler and International Institutions like Population Service International, and they are willing to contract with us. Then, we could launch our first drone delivery. Apart from the pharmaceutical wholesaler, we also want to attend other provider of vital goods (foods for example) in the context of the fight against the COVID-19 Pandemic, that's why we are working on our advertising side too. In addition to this, we will set up devices to communicate quickly with the areas that need our drones the most, for that , we are for example projecting to build drone centers in each province of Madagascar first and then maybe extending to other countries within the next years.

Inspiration
The Novel Coronavirus is one of the most contagious pathogens of our time. It's crucial that we understand the current spread of the virus, so that we can adequately prepare ourselves by sending medical equipment to regions with high numbers of confirmed cases. To help battle COVID-19, we wanted to make a website where it would be easy to access county and state-level data for the Coronavirus.
What it does
There are many features on the website that visualize data, including:
Maps of active cases, confirmed cases, and deaths
These maps give the option to view snapshots of the spread on different days
Ability to make a custom line graph based on your country, state, and county
Option to show daily change or use a logarithmic scale
Timelines of the Coronavirus spread based on the first day of arrival within each country
See how many confirmed cases, active cases, recoveries, and deaths there are been
Data tables based on country and US state that show the daily increase in confirmed cases
For any location, predicts the future number of cases using LSTM
How we built it
We used Flask and SQLite 3 for the backend. For SQL management, we used a library called "SQLAlchemy". We had to make an API to download the most recent data from Johns Hopkins, and process the data for each country/state/county. For the App, we used React-native, and for the website, we are using regular Javascript, and we will eventually migrate it to React-native as well. We also used Pandas and Numpy for preprocessing time series data. We used Keras for modeling.
Challenges we ran into
It was difficult to have the server automatically download the data and process it, because there were many edge cases in the data that we needed to take into account. It was also difficult to code the Javascript backend for the website, because we had to use many libraries and APIs that we had not previously used.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're happy that the map works, and that we were able to develop this website to a level where someone could really use it to see the spread of the virus over time.
What we learned
We learned that data can often be difficult to work with, and we gained experience with developing websites with React-native and Javascript libraries for maps and charts.
What's next for Corona Vision
In the app, we also plan to add notifications every time new data is added, so you can stay updated in recent coronavirus cases in your county/state/country.

Inspiration
As the crisis hit around the world I found myself really needing to find answers and help people with their fears and concerns. This lead to a lot of research where I noticed that the countries most successful in combating the spread of the virus were using technology as a major part of their strategy. I knew in the US we would not force people to allow tracking so I thought maybe a social media style app that rewards people for "checking in" and "updating their status" regularly could be a good solution. I made the app a crowdsourced information app so that the public and decision makers alike would have access to very useful information that could inform better decision making faster, because it doesn't require the overwhelmed medical comunity to keep up with reporting. I also felt that adding a gamification and messaging feature would increase adaption and longevity with users so we have added those app style features.
What it does
The primary feature is an interactive map that displays user supplied data about health status and needs. You share your current status with the app, you get access to an anonymized interactive map featuring all other users statuses. We've also included a feature where you can identify yourself as in need of assistance so that local communities can connect with their most at risk citizens more effectively. It also gamifies healthy decision making rewarding achievements to people who repeatedly check in from the same location, regularly update status, invite other users to add to the data pool, and help people in need. Finally it provides a community chat feature so that you can connect with other concerned people in your area even when other channels have limited communications.
How I built it
This app is currently a progressive web app built on the AWS framework. We are prepared to launch IOS and Android versions as well if we find the right partner to make that possible given the current limitations on publishing Covid related apps.
Challenges I ran into
Covid related apps are not allowed in app stores unless you are a government agency or healthcare facility right now so that is not currently an option for us. However, we feel the flexibility of a progressive web app is actually better because it helps eliminate some of the technology based age and income gaps since it can be used on any device and accessed from anywhere with an internet signal.
Other than working normal bugs out across various devices and browsers beta testing has not shown any major challenges to date.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
our team pulled this off extremely quickly from idea to valid application, fast enough that with the right support it could really make a difference. I'm also proud that we were able to do this while keeping costs under control enough that funding has not been an issue yet.
What I learned
simple solutions are often the best. Keeping this simple yet effective and building on existing platrorms allowed us to quickly create a viable solution that is also completely expandable to meet all future needs of partner organizations as well as future health crises. A tool like this could be a real game changer as a data aggregator, early warning system, and tool for the average citizen to make smarter decisions under any health crises the world faces.
What's next for InPlace App
We are working to get through beta testing as rapidly as possible while also finding the ideal launch partner that can support the funding and social proof required to effectively launch an application like this.
We are also really excited about the potential this app has to really help every day citizens and decision makers alike.

9,854 | https://devpost.com/software/flatten-2o6rlq | White label solution for rapid identification of infection chains
App prototype:
Adobe Xd
Whitepaper:
PDF
Short Summary
Our project can be used by all responsible crisis managers and citizens worldwide. It describes a complete white label solution for anonymous tracking of citizens and the coordination of test stations and health authorities:
Data-protection-compliant, anonymized tracking in real time
System works as mobile app as well as without a smartphone.
Infection chains are identified in real time and potentially infected persons are directly transmitted to the system in anonymized form.
Systematic organization of people who need to be tested via dashboard (own login for health departments)
Automated system that is monitored by health departments in order to use the existing test capacities 100 % effectively
People who need to be tested receive perfectly customized information
Potential opportunity to support the revival of economic systems
The project is 100 % open source and can be reviewed at
GitHub
. The concept illustrated in this paper represents a basic possible version. It is a variably adaptable concept. Please regard the inserted screens and explanations as a white label solution, which will be individualized to your situation.
Virtual Handshake
To create contact chains our solution uses "virtual handshakes":
There are three possibilities to do a virtual handshake:
Smartphone to Smartphone
Every citizen has their own QR code, which is permanently stored in his app and will be shown for scanning in a contact situation. Alternatively, the citizen can also scan the QR code of their contacts. This way a "virtual handshake" will be created, which is stored in both of their "handshake lists". Thus there is one person scanning and one that is being scanned for each meeting process.
Offline QR is scanned
For people without a smartphone there will be printed out QR-Codes which contain their offline IDs.
All "offline citizens" permanently carry their printed out QR code with them. Citizens with smartphones scan the "offline citizens" so that the encounter is recorded in the system for both.
Check-In-Point
Supermarket employees (etc.) scan QR codes as people enter and leave, so that they will be tracked in the system. This can be realized directly by all companies and institutions. It is possible to automate this manual work process with a built-up scan station. Citizens with smartphones can check in by themselves.
This is a huge opportunity especially for companies with several offices. They attach such check-in-point (in the form of a printed QR code) on each office door. If an employee has been tested positive for Covid-19, then only those employees who were in the same office-rooms at the same time, will be tested.
Additional possibillity:
Offline meets Offline
In case two offline citizens meet, there is the possibility to use lists where they can put their offline-IDs, so that possible infections chains can be identified later as well. However, it is most likely a better idea to initially allow younger people more freedom of movement. In this case it can be assumed that offline-to-offline-encounters will be rare and thus the whole system can provide a very good coverage.
Reports
If a citizen has been tested positive for Covid-19, he uploads his test results in the app which will be confirmed by a health care manager. Users without smartphones use an automated phone hotline of their health department in order to report their results.
Alternatively test results can be put into the database directly by laboratories. In this case a tested person will get notified about their results. If there is a positive result, all people linked to the infected person‘s contact chain, will be notified without revealing the identity.
Dashboard - Health department coordinates tests
The responsible health department receives the test results of the infected citizen and verifies them. A dashboard anonymously lists people who have had contact with infected citizens in the last two weeks. They are sorted in descending order according to their current health status, which is documented by a health diary of each citizen in a side area of the app. Here, further variables can be defined, according to which people can be sorted and prioritized for the test places (and possible treatments). For the assignment to test stations, a dashboard is displayed, which shows the current capacity utilization of the respective health institution, so that all institutions can be coordinated and thereby they are equally utilized.
Potentially infected citizen is advised to get tested
Citizens who have had contact with newly infected people in the past two weeks, will be informed via a push notification in the app. They will receive information about a test point to which they are supposed to go. The citizen then logs in with his QR code at the test point and the test will be performed.
Overview: Process Diagram
Technologies in comparison
We thought a lot about which technologies to choose in order to have a working corona tracking app, which is accurate, compatible with a lot of devices and even works without smartphones for older people as well. Also privacy protection is a huge issue, which only can be solved in a satisfactory way if we use QR-code-scanning. This might not be the case everywhere, but in Europe the rules and guidelines are too strict for passive tracking of all movement profiles. To sum up and futher compare, we provided this comparison graphic:
Whats next:
We hope that our solution will have great benefit in the process of getting back to „normal“ life. This was our motivation to get as far as we are right now. If you are interested in this project, make sure to check out our complete whitepaper and feel free to contact us if you have further questions or feedback. Make also sure to check out our project on GitHub. If you want to support us further, please let us know or spread the word about this project, so we can go as far as possible and hopefully finalize it even after this hackathon. Stay healthy!
