Inspiration

Within the last weeks, we have seen healthcare systems around the world facing the same issues. No matter where, there is always a shortage of the same essential medical equipment. For the control centers that are in charge to distribute the essential resources, it is difficult to find companies willing to help provide equipment. KapaMonitor helps to make the coordination of those resources and therefore succeeds in providing an added value for both, control centers and companies offering help. We want to give hospitals more time and better protection with the fast and easy supply of medical reassures.

What it does

KapaMonitor provides a central system for control centers, medical institutions and companies to search for demands and offer necessary resources needed in the recent crisis. Those resources can include equipment like protective suits, respiratory masks, disinfectants and gloves. Other resources can also be requested as required. Only a short registration is necessary for all parties involved. KapaMonitor is not a commercial platform, negotiation about prices and conditions are bilateral between the two parties of a match. The project is open source and designed for a countrywide use, applicable for other countries outside of Germany or Switzerland as well. We can relieve and support hospitals and control centers helping them to save lives.

How I built it

We provide an open source platform where resources can be monitored. It is a WebApp.

Challenges I ran into

It is very time consuming to develop such a WebApp. Also it is difficult to find customers who trust us.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are already in contact with the German Red Cross and move forward in customer acquisition day by day.

What I learned

What is possible with a few people who want to make an impact :)

What's next for KapaMonitor

KapaMonitor wants to have a carrier who helps us with a legal frame.
