Neghlbouh

Seeing our country, as well as the whole world, having a battle against the Coronavirus has made us think of any possible way to help overcoming the situation. However, inventing a cure or a vaccine wasn’t something that we, the IT engineers can do. Being stuck at home made us realize that maybe this is the best way to help our contry. If everyone can respect the rules and minimize the movement and getting out, we can reduce the outbreak and slow down the spread of the virus. But how so? This is when the idea of “Neghlbouh” popped up in our heads. The project is a platform that organizes the people who get out of their homes and a bracelet to supervise sick people in the lockdown. We provide a bracelet designed to track people’s movements. It allows the authorities to make sure that everyone coming from abroad or having contact with someone coming from abroad is respecting the quarantine. Equipped with GPS module, the bracelet is fixed on the hand of the person and sends an alert to the police in case its owner leaves the house. Alongside with the bracelet, we have a website and a mobile app that helps the users to identify contaminated areas, to submit a request in order to go out to a public place, and much other functionality such as calculating the probability of getting infected or frequenting a sick person if going out to that place. Making the concept of the bracelet was never easy especially in this current situation: we had a hard time trying to get the tools and the electronic components we need since every shop in town is closed and we cannot move between the cities. We had to make a prototype with what we had at home in the first day, until we finally got the chance to buy online what we needed and we feel lucky to receive it just in time. Another challenge we had was updating our platform since the internet was slow and we had some problems in the first days of quarantine in Tunisia. Thankfully and with the hard work of everyone in the team, we have overcome every difficulty. Speaking of the accomplishments we have done, we are proud that we have upgraded our idea to be what it is today. At first and before getting into this hackathon, we have already thought of a website that can be used to make requests for going out. But thanks to the competition, we went really far and we felt challenged to make something bigger and to add the bracelet idea and the function of calculating a “danger rate” in our platform. We learned how to make a prototype from what we have at home, how to work together with distance and to maintain the spirit of the team work despite everything. Last but not least, we learned that the love of our country can make us do magic. What’s next? We aim that our project can cover to 80% of Tunisian land, and we want to move to the production of the bracelet. Neghlbouh will grow to be a national platform for every Tunisian subscribed. Until then, we will work on other functionalities such as helping sick people to buy groceries and need while they are at home.
