| Popis: | Whenever the world is faced with a devastating outbreak of events, technology innovations have proven to be a go to solution that expedite the recovery process. We propose a mobile application rapidly developed as a contender to the TechForce19 innovation challenge, a backing of the NHSX offering $\pounds$ 500,000 to innovators to develop digital solutions for supporting vulnerable in the community during the coronavirus outbreak. Our solution would allow people who are in self isolation to ask for help and enable a fast, secure support by the community within 15 miles radius. The solution would allow volunteers to recognise the precise need in the community and how they can support. Within two weeks, we built a state-of-the-art support application that is deployable, but with security caveats that required local authority support and resources to ensure the vulnerable are not exploited through the app. |
