COVID-19 is the biggest threat to humanity in the 21st Century. The best, way to reduce the threat of COVID is by engaging in Social-distancing. But, We humans are social creatures — so social distancing is one the most rapid, drastic, and widespread behavioral changes we’ve ever had to make. This is especially difficult for young people, who often feel invulnerable, tend to buck the rules, and maybe infected themselves, but unwittingly become community transmitters.SoloCoin takes the technology to help measure social distance, gamifies it to recognize and reward, and wraps it together with a positive attitude to make social distancing fun!Potential Impact: - Impact to the society – It is a “small way” for citizens to do their part, be social distance compliant, and get real economic rewards and esteem awards to show they stood up to the challenge!
- Impact To Public Health Officials: Public Health Agencies can glean anonymized data insights on non-compliance from our app to help form better messaging to inform/educate the public. ‘
- Impact to Partner-Sponsors: affiliate themselves with support of community well being, getting people to re-engage the economy, and get brand exposure with a “captive audience”
- Impact to People-driven Health and Wellness: having an onboarded platform for behavioral change with people across the world will help support post-COVID behaviors, such as healthier physical, mental, and social health.Our vision is for a healthier, happier, COVID-19-free world. This platform can help re-introduce social distance practices or adopt new practices as the situation evolves (e.g., if a “second wave” comes or a city emerges as a new ‘hotspot’). Not to mention, even after COVID, this app will be relevant and keep on impacting the behavioral changes and improving the mental health using gamification.We’re planned to launch the public beta on Play Store tomorrow. We have already received 500+ waitlist signups organically and have multiple interests from govt. individuals and coupon partners to get it to a bigger scale. We have a team of 20+ open source collaborators with community member count exceeding 250 mark. All of them will be helping us get it to a global scale.
