Inspiration

Social distancing idea.

What it does

“Reopen” aims to slow down or prevent possible virus infection while reopening the economies. Reopen is an application for smartphones used by both individuals and businesses, such as restaurants, bars, stores, and many others where visitors might harm others due to overcapacity. The application will prevent large crowds of people existing at the same place which can harm the health of others as well as further spreading the virus. This platform will significantly help minimize the risks of reopening the economy and a possible second wave of the virus.

Use for businesses: A business admin will be able to set hours and visiting capacity to limit the number of visitors. In addition, admins have access to visitors’ database (name and contact info) to notify them in case they have been encountered with COVID-19.

Use for individuals: In order to visit certain places that are participating on the same platform “Reopen”, a user must sign up and reserve a time slot for visiting. The application regularly asks users to update their health information in regard to any COVID-19 symptoms. A user can add registered family members and/or send an invitation to friends for visiting a certain place.

Functionality example: A person visited chili’s last week and tested positive for the virus yesterday. He/she would declare this in the app which in turn sends notifications to all places that has been visited by the same person in the past 14-days. Business admins will receive notifications that “a person visited on dateTime___have tested positive for COVID-19; please notify all visitors who may be encountered with this person at the same time”. The application gives suggestion to notify a specific group of visitors, visiting at the same date and time. Individuals who might have encountered the virus will receive the notification that they have been “encountered with COVID-19, please isolate yourself for 14-days and watch for any symptoms”.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Developing the brand and the prototype of the idea.

What I learned

I learned that it is possible to reopen the economy safely with the help of Reopen.

What's next for Reopen

Reopen still has a large potential for many features. It can manage a smooth flow for businesses in the cause of any natural disasters where most stores run out of essential products. Reopen can provide an equal opportunity to acquire certain items.
