Inspiration
COVID introduces to new challenges. Challenges that no one knew how to deal with. Challenges that brought down people on their knees. Challenges that broke people inside and out. Challenges that introduced the new world of 'Work from Home'. Therefore, it order to overcome these challenges Cova Dragon was developed. The idea revolves around the increasing the mental health and increasing the productivity of people in tough times of COVID
What it does
Cova dragon is an app that helps people to know about COVID and it's challenges. It helps people to overcome mental stress and boost confidence during mental breakdown. In addition to it we have also created an assistant not which interacts with people to give them information about COVID and also help them overcome the feeling of loneliness.
Functionalities of COVA DRAGON
The COVA dragon has a lot of functionalities but I will go over the main ones first
-> It connects you to local grocery store, so that you don't have to worry about your groceries anymore during COVID or any other time. You can easily get them delivered to your doorstep which helps you to focus more on your work rather than domestic work. It can also be extended to domestic services such as finding electricians, plumbers, etc.
-> It can also connect you to a local GP or a doctor.
->One of the main features is the connect you feature, According to Good therapy when people shared same feeling they are able to reduce stress with talking to people who share the same feeling. So our app is able to connect them with and help them reduce mental stress. This is very helpful for elderly people who feel lonely and abandoned.
-> One of the interesting features is that we were able to able to develop an assistant bot which could interact with people and them overcome the challenges during COVID
How we built it
We have build the prototype of the app using Figma and the assistant bot with IBM WATSON Cloud services
Challenges faced by us
One of the main challenge was linking during the Figma prototype. It was complex and took a lot of hours to develop it. Second, was to take out the time from the busy academic schedule
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We as a team are proud that we were able to complete most of the things that we had planned out. The communication among team members was perfect.
What we learned
We learned several things from this project. First one would definitely be time management, creating deadlines and making sure that we do stick to that deadline. We learnt how to use the cloud software and it technologies
What's next for Cova Dragon
We are planning to take this to next level by adding more functionalities such as -> Yoga subscription to increase mental and physical fitness -> Social night with randoms to reduce mental stress (1 on 1 Video Calling) -> Introducing the Enemy COVID bot -> The Steve Harvey Column (for motivation)
