Inspiration Mizra’s years of field experience informed his master’s thesis and made me aware that #supplychains are bedrock to any disaster response - and the Preparedness Phase of the Disaster Management Cycle is core a successful and timely Disaster response: Predict, Prepare, Provide

Only last Sunday UK placed an urgent order for PPE with Turkey only to find out on Tuesday it would not be filled; 2 weeks ago an order paid for by Canada was embargoed by American for it’s own needs; both cases proving that reacting to ‘a disaster’ is a disaster in and of itself. Forecasting for the Preparedness phase of the DMC is the holy grail and a lead time of 10days the Hallelujah Choir - early (tell) Covid symptoms give that much needed supply chain lead time

What it does

CovidSafe crowdsources early (tell) symptoms like lose of taste and smell that allows for supply chain forecast modeling of potential supply hungry hotspots based in current legacy data. this last stage is off APP.

It also allows ordinary people have some small sense of empowerment in the overall crisis management response and in return gives them back information regarding their own immediate local area.

How we built it

We have two options:

  1. University to University request the API to a similar APP with more single focused goals being developed by Kings College Hospital trailing in BETA but pivoted it’s brief and is not headed for the US market

  2. Build it out with our teams at the Hub in the Technology University Dublin where we have all worked

Challenges we ran into

Security is a big challenge as if the data in APP can be manipulated this has a serious fall out Self Reporting in the population - establishing a good model for accuracy

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We survived managing to coordinate a new formed team with only previously loose connections across 4 time zones and identify our KPI’s to end game it

What we learned

Not all platforms are equal -

What's next for CoviSafe.eu
