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.

Be Engaged and Get Paid

Summary

We have conceptualized an idea of a website to be launched by an authentic body. Basically, this website engages people via providing various fortnight challenges and access to help desk. In a fortnight challenge, the participant will accept a challenge and invite more people to do so. Top 20 Participants with a maximum rate of acceptance will be rewarded. In the help desk, people can share their stories and access to inspirational videos.

How We Addressed This Challenge

The main problems associated with isolation are economic crises which brought about different physical but most importantly mental health issues. Our idea will provide people with different challenges like physical fitness, arts, creative writing, rooftop farming and kitchen gardening. It will engage people in productive task. Since, participants who include most of the people on such task will be financially benefited, it will cover mass population. On other hands, individuals in need of urgent help regarding mental health can have access to help desk. Help-desk provides various motivational videos as well as platform to shares ones story of anxiety depression and how they overcome it. People with similar issues can connected and get inspired by one another and feel cared. Each individual task has its own benefit i.e.  Involvement of populace on kitchen gardening and rooftop farming will promote self-reliance in agricultural sector. Similarly, arts and creative writing will enhance efficiency and circulate positivity among participants.In this way, this website targets to touch as many lives as possible to restore mental peace through engagement and financial assistance.

How We Developed This Project

Our current unemployed, bored and broke situation; similar regional and global scenario realized us an urgent need to address spiking mental and economic crises which inspired us to conceive this project idea. If there is any way to earn and engage fruitfully and get connected socially during isolation days, the current crises can be somewhat pacified. This brought us designing a website that can give shape to our concept. We have used Ms. PowerPoint to explain our project ideas. Firstly, we have faced difficultly to concisely depict vast idea within a website. After, long discussion and study, we have finally come with presentable idea. Our project idea got appreciated and considered for future application in our municipality by authority. Regarding the NASA data, we have gone through various sources .Our main reference is Isolation/Confinement sub-topic under article Gravity, Who Needs It? NASA Studies Your Body in Space on NASA example resources which shows that spaceman faced various mental and physical problems during prolonged stay on space in isolation. Conditions are verisimilitude in case of isolation due to COVID-19. Also, the data relating to suicidal tendencies were taken via news and article on cnbc and New York's times respectively.So, we attempt to find solution that approach to solve mental, physical and economic crisis brought by pandemic.
