With this app, we can help people overcome the psychological problems increased by the social distancing. Helping them since their daily routine to professional help. 

How We Developed This Project

One off the most important things that lead us this challenge was the interdisciplinary skills in the team, seizing everyone's abilities.

How did you use space agency data in your project? We used the data to get an inspiration for our solution, mostly using the idea of the journal that astronauts use in space. And as a foundation for the other solutions.

What tools, coding languages, hardware, software did you use to develop your project? For this project we developed an Amazon skill for the presentation. 

What problems and achievements did your team have? As problems, we first had to talk about our solution even whith a team so diverse and whith diferents backgrouds. When we overcome that we could create a  tangible solution for a lot of people around the world.
