Food for Thought

Your challenge is to consider the journey of food to your plate, determine how disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic are affecting the food supply locally and globally, and propose solutions to address these issues.

Avoid Line

Summary

Avoid Line is an application of virtual queues to help companies to resume activities, prove that they take covid-19 prevention actions, avoid agglomerations and encourage customers to socialize, using compliance and blockchain technology for compliance and auditing of information

How We Addressed This Challenge

Our solution fits the challenge 2 Light the Path because we believe that it improves communication between commercial establishments and their customers, avoiding crowding, enabling and encouraging people to leave for work, social life and activities in public spaces in an orderly manner and safe.

How We Developed This Project

The need to return to day-to-day activities, even in the presence of the Coronavirus. The problem is the need to resume the economy, leisure and social life, which makes it essential to control the number of people in public and private environments, avoiding crowds, as well as providing this information in a transparent way for the actors involved. (customer, employees and supervisory bodies).

We have assembled a set of requirements that a probable solution to the proposed problem should have, they are: 1 - Maintain a personal temperature control that can be used by the client and the employee to diagnose Coronavirus and / or other diseases. Being able to report other symptoms in case of fever. 2 - Maintain social distance in lines. 3 - Keep the customer informed about the temperature of who made the food. 4 - Keep the company informed about the health of each employee. 5 - Maintain an auditable database that gives the commercial establishment subsidies to demonstrate that it is in compliance and taking the preventive and control measures. 6 - Give the customer a sense of security about the care that the commercial establishment takes with its customer and employees. 7 - Give subsidies to government agencies to control the spread of Coronavirus and other diseases. 8 - Include the client in preventing and fighting Cororavirus.

We intend to use data from NASA SEDAC Application Puts Current Global COVID-19 Data at your Fingertips at the following address: https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/mapping/popest/covid-19/ to show information related to Coronavirus in the area around the commercial establishment using our tool.

A Node.js server project will have libraries to generate QR codes, websockets for real-time communication and SDK for communication with Blockchain. The client application will be developed with the help of front-end frameworks for Node.js and the data stored in Blockchain, through a Hyperledger Fabric project.

We arrived at a final product that pleased all team members.
