Inspiration
N.A.I.T.R.A as it means "eyes" in regional Hindi language , we wanted our app to help the society by providing important information about the global pandemic. At the same time to help the police department in enforcing the law with the help of responsible citizens.
What it does
- It makes the user aware about important knowledge like general information , symptoms prevention etc. of COVID-19 / coronavirus
2.Allows the user to know whether his current location lies in a containment zone or not and gives a covid tracker map about the containment zones for detailed information
- The current situation in India is to avoid infection spreading due to mass gathering. So naitra enables the citizens to report any mass gathering events by uploading a picture of such events to our application website. The site processes the image for metadata and sends the image file to the nearest police station which makes the local police force more aware about the areas which are left in there blind spot. ( To mimic the sending of files to different servers the app creates different folders with post code as folder name (resembling different area police servers ) and store the image image file according to its post code in respective folder )
N.A.I.T.R.A is an application which is deployed on google assistant and hence does not require any external installation
How I built it
The 2nd and 3rd module mentioned above are created using Python and deployed as API on a server. The Google assistant is developed using Google Dialogflow and trained to respond the queries generated in the 1st use case. The agent utilizes the API hosted for successful execution of the use case scenarios.
Challenges I ran into
- Exploring image analysis and metadata extraction from image.
- Data generation for the containment zones use case.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
- Overcoming my challenges.
- Learning new technology stack and integrating them through out the development process.
What I learned
- Image Analysis using python.
- API creations in python.
- While doing the background study for this application we came to know the seriousness for the global pandemic situation and understood that this solution could help our society in curbing this spread of infection.
What's next for N.A.I.T.R.A
- Currently N.A.I.T.R.A can be deployed on only android smartphones. We plan to further make it cross platform available through deployment on other user voice AI such as Siri
- NAITRA helps the people to report the violation of one of the law i.e. Mass Gathering . We plan to cover a wider scope of complaints to be registered from the citizens and make the people more vigilant about the situation.
