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.

Near despite isolation

Summary

The application that will be created will fight the negative impacts that related to isolation. The user will have two choices the first one is to play the game. The second choice is to take a quiz to define its psychological state to determine which game will fit him. Also, if he wants to speak to some people there will be a room that will collect the people that have the same results in one room and it will allow to them to speak with each other call or video.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Loneliness during the COVID-19 outbreak has become a major concern as more and more people are hunkering down in their homes in isolation. Connectness is important to all humans, so I think we are all at risk (of loneliness during quarantine). Connections to communities are going to be essential so we are trying to build them up now. For some professionals, social distancing is a normal practice, but for countless people, the experience of isolation is a new and perhaps challenging experience. So our app is addressing this challenge and very effective tool in reducing social isolation and enhancing connectness, especially among senior citizens as it connect people in a way that benefit them in real life and add to them good values. Artificial intelligence, through the psychological test which determines his emotional status and recommends him an activity or game, connects the user with people who will do the same activity that he will perform on the application and form team. The teams created will be offered various games and activities due to their psychology case. So he overcomes loneliness, depression, vulnerability, and subsequently to negative health consequences. The NASA space agency has looked for the conditions of the astronauts and their isolation for periods that may extend for decades, and have come up changes in their lifestyles such as their sleep rate, health, etc. Based on that, we used their tips and investigation in building and developing the application, as it makes ordinary people deal with social retirement naturally. He will utilize his time to memorize and do something modern and valuable. His cooperation with people to finish the game in a specific time will add to him the spirit of enthusiasm, activity, and stimulation of his brain will thus overcome the negative effects of quarantine and can communicate with people in the same psychological condition from all over the world and understand each other.

How We Developed This Project

Quarantine has some negative influence on health and mental. We mean that everyone stays at the home for a long time has some problems that make him sad. From researching the results of social isolation and quarantine, we found a lot of negative impacts on work, sleeping and health. And we inspired our idea from our experience these days. We are exposed to some loneliness and depression due to less communication which makes us think seriously about how he can solve this problem.

Most people like playing games, speaking with other people and reading, so we can make them communicate by using one application. As the user will have 4 options in the application. For example, as we mentioned before he will answer some questions related to psychology as we knew from NASA resources they make some quizzes to determine the personality of the persons by showing them some emotional pictures and cartoon figures to choose their answer. After the user submits his answers he will be able to choose the people who have the same result to speak with them, so he can make friendships. Also, the app will offer him some books related to his personality. This application will be derived from the (AI) and MIT app. To make the app accurate in determining the kind of games which user want to play and the persons who have the same personality like him.

If this application applied it will decrease the stress and improve people's health. In addition, it will increase the communication between people and support them to make friends that have the same personality from around the world. Also, the application will show some games, books that breaking the barrier of loneliness and psychological fatigue.
