The Isolation Solution

Social distancing policies enacted the world over during the COVID-19 pandemic have left many people socially isolated. Your challenge is to develop innovative solutions to combat social isolation.

Isolation Save Room

Summary

Our challenge is to propose a solution to deal with the negative effects created by the social isolation generated by the new coronavirus pandemic. Our proposal for a solution involves a website with the ability to provide communication methods between isolated people suffering from different problems, a path to coherent information about the effects of isolation and recreational activities, all with the aim of giving the necessary support to most of possible connected. It is important because isolation has affected a large number of people negatively, impairing our collective capacity to act together without internal conflicts and to combat the situation.

How We Addressed This Challenge

If done correctly and reaching its imagined potential, this project has the capacity to have a great positive impact. It could prove to be a great support for those isolated from the pandemic with access to the internet, helping in the socialization, information and referral of users in need of greater support for professionals and scientifically valid databases. Although not completely, it has the potential to influence many. The project, despite not standing out for being the most creative and innovative, seeks to unite existing technologies and concepts in a new way. And, more importantly, it is a project that seeks to be scientifically valid, creating a friendly and beneficial environment based on scientific knowledge, being fully plausible to be positively executable in real life, even more so in the current context, during social isolation.

How We Developed This Project

As the idea behind the informational part of this environment created by us is based on presenting truthful scientific information in a way that can help people affected by isolation, we intend to use the following data as follows: - From information taken from the page NASA "Social Isolation in Space" (https://www.nasa.gov/hrp/social-isolation), we intend to use data and information about the experience of astronauts in the isolation of space and the effects of that experience on their performance, and both , mental and physical health as a basis for analogies that would help people isolated because of the pandemic. Although they are different scenarios, the isolation and its effects remain the same. -In particular, NASA information "Social isolation in context" (https://www.nasa.gov/hrp/social-isolation/in-context), is intended to be used as a basis for identifying tips on how to deal with isolation and ways that the latter can affect their behavior, analysis based on psychological analysis based on the experience of confinement of astronauts, recorded in their diaries.
