Our project meets the challenge by providing a solution to an important human aspect: engagement with protective habits as a result of the knowledge about the problem - caused by underreporting issues. By knowing the problem real size, people will be more engaged. Besides, it will create a safe feeling to see your area as a safe zone.
Brazil is facing a huge underreporting problem, but, as many news shows us, other places are facing the same problem. Thinking about it, how could it be if everybody knows the real size of this problem? People don't want to know just about the country, or about the state.. they also want to know if they're safe to go to groceries, or they must stay home. And they want to see it easily, right on their hands. So, if everybody wants to know, and everybody has a smartphone, we have decided to provide an easy solution: an app with a heat map of your area.
We're using NASA data to check if the user's data is according to the current parameters based on incidence per habitant. With the result, we can tell if there's an emergency zone (above those parameters), or we can calculate a score, based on the number of cases per status, dates, and geolocation. We are using REACT NATIVE to develop a multiplatform app and an Azure database to store our data. Our application will process the data and plot a heat map as real-time output. We also used Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe XD to prototyping and create the pitch presentation.
We have had a big challenge to plan and execute every step in a few hours and watch every webinar. Our team had a strong collaboration feeling, and we got some excellent feedback!
