This project aims to provide scientific knowledge, in a clear, objective and free way to society. A digital platform will be developed, with the availability of scientific material obtained through search and a judicious collection, in addition to clarifications on information that has not been scientifically validated. This content will be obtained by registered users, researchers, trained and with scientific knowledge, who will pass on the information in simple language, for everyone to reach. Scientific editorials, videos, podcasts and e-books are some of the contents that can be accessed, in addition to a communication channel in which the non-accredited user will have the opportunity to request help from the scientist about his scientific area of interest. The information contained in the resources available by NASA, ESA and JAXA may be integrated, enabling the creation of the platform and all its content, providing current, reliable and relevant knowledge; it will be possible to measure the level of social isolation, one of the pillars for minimizing the spread of the disease, and to foresee areas that may suffer the greatest impacts; and measure the shock that the pandemic has been causing to the ecosystem. In this way, the platform will be able to inform and help the entire population, in addition to making it possible to plan financial and health resources worldwide.
Our team was inspired to choose this challenge because it knows how determinant knowledge is, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, where there are countless contents without scientific validation being linked, generating more insecurity and fear in society. Knowledge is transformative, and we want everyone to have that power. Our mission is to allow this knowledge to be accessible to everyone, positively impacting the course and resolution of the disease and its consequences. We are thinking about the development of an easily accessible digital platform, with the availability of scientific material obtained through search and judicious collection, by registered users, researchers, trained and with scientific knowledge, which in addition to the previous selection of the content will pass on the information in simple language , for everyone to reach. Accredited users will carry out a bibliographic search for the elaboration of content based on the material made available by the World Health Organization, US National Institutes of Health / National Library of Medicine, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, US Food and Drug Administration, US Department of Agriculture, NASA Data Pathfinders, NASA COVID-19 data pathfinders, NOAA - Climate.gov. Epidemiological mapping will be possible through the use of the SEDAC Global COVID-19 Viewer. With data from NASA Giovanni, JAXA for Earth and JASMES Portal - Solar radiation reaching the earth's surface (photosynthetically available radiation), Cloudiness, Snow and sea ice cover, Dryness of vegetation (water stress trend), Soil moisture, Wildfire, Precipitation, Land and sea surface temperature, etc., it will be possible to predict climatic periods of greater susceptibility to contagion from Covid-19. With the LANCE: NASA Near Real-Time Data and Imagery, it will be possible to measure the level of social isolation, one of the pillars for minimizing the contagion of the disease, and to predict areas that may suffer the greatest impacts. Through NASA Earth Observatory, it will be possible to measure the impact that the pandemic has been having on the ecosystem. In this way, the platform will be able to inform and help the entire population, in addition to making it possible to plan financial and health resources on a worldwide scale.
For the development of the prototype, we used the following tools: website- HTML, CSS, Java Script; templates- 46graus.com; development tool - VSCode; browser- Google Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge; software for creating the layout, icons, templates and treatment of static images; Adobe Photoshop; Adobe Illustrator; Adobe Lightroom; Adobe Premiere Pro; Adobe After Effects; software for video development. Hardware: Intel Core i5-8365U, Memory: 8GB, HD: 250GB, Windows 10 x64 - v1809, Intel Core i5, Ram: 6GB, SSD: 120GB, Internal HD: 500GB, External HD: 1TB.
Our team went through some challenges for the idealization and delivery of the project, such as short term for its elaboration, and difficulties in the management of technology platforms, since all the team members are from the health area, and not from the technology area. On the other hand, we were very satisfied and fulfilled by the involvement of the entire team, with delegation of the division of tasks, advising mentors and facilitators.
