Covi

Describe the problem your solution addresses?

Our solution addresses the stigma surrounding sharing Covid-19 stories, whether it is your own or a family member's experience. Platforms like Instagram and Facebook are not built to create communities for Covid-19 survivors and family/friends of those with Covid-19, but Covi strives to create said communities.

Why did you pick this solution and how does it address the problem?

We chose the solution of creating a platform in which people can create community and share their own stories because we thought it would help people connect and empathize in an isolating time. Covi addresses the problem by destigmatizing talking about having Covid-19 or any mental hardships that come from Covid-19. It allows users to relate to others' experiences, support each other, find ways to cope, and truly feel as they are not alone in what they are going through.
