INTRODUCTION

The Covid19 pandemic has caused not only health but social and economic crisis too. People are losing jobs and income, with no way of knowing when normality will return. Those below the poverty line were badly affected and couldn’t afford the basic necessities. On the other side of society, are those who are able and well to do and can withstand the financial distress when work is less and jobs are greatly at a loss. In times like this, any help from them will be an angel to those severely affected.

How do we help those people affected badly by poverty? How do we link and create awareness? Kindness begins with me and we can take action immediately. We can donate money, food, used items and be a volunteer to help out during events. We wish to help the most vulnerable of society, from the hungry to those in poverty by providing services along with compassion. We Are Family is a unique app to connect the people to help the people in need, alert, connect and spread the spirit of humanity during this difficult period.

APP DESCRIPTION

Are you worried about your next meal? For the homeless and underprivileged however, this tends to be a constant concern. Some old folk homes and orphanages face issues on the food supply due to the pandemic. A charity network needs to be formed among the community. We Are Family is an unique app to connect the people in need, alert and enable everyone to get involved.

> Live update on activities via map

This app has unique markers on the map with live updates. Many people aren’t aware of the unprivileged groups in their area. The location of the underprivileged groups will be identified. It will help to revive the network and support reach-out to the needies.

> Crowd-sourcing

This app supports the underprivileged groups of people. My app allows the well to do community to donate their items through crowd-sourcing.

> User friendly markers

My app is simple and user friendly. Every map marker is added to represent Support activities. Those who wish to donate reusable items can share their location and contacts easily. With crowd sourcing capability, the amount of reusable items can be channeled out to those people in need. The actual map location gives an overview of all the support activities and what are the items available nearby.

> Promote Caring Culture

This app highlights the needs of the underprivileged groups of people. It alerts the public and brings the joys of sharing amidst our blessing.

> Functionalities

-Live updates and crowd sourcing of the support activities in the map -Airtable as database -Users have the options to be observers or with login. -9 Support activities reveal all the markers with exact location on the map. -The information of the Support activity will be displayed. -Users can contact the donor by clicking their email address.

>Support Activities:

Second: VIBES

Kush Keswani

What is the app all about?

I have created an app that aims to give a break from “all-things-covid.” It combines the themes of Heath Care and Learning/Working Remotely. The idea behind the app is to encourage the users to strike a balance between physical heath and emotional well-being which is of utmost importance in uncertain times like these. The app is all about spreading good vibes and positivity and hence the name ‘Vibes’ seems a perfect name for it.

How does the app work?

• When you first open the app you will get a quote by Jana Kingsford. When you tap the image you will be directed to another screen Wellness, where you will be asked to enter your good name. Insert your name and click on enter, a message “Hi there, (name) + Hope you have good day” will be displayed. A series of self-care images will keep flashing in the center if the screen. At the bottom you will have 4 options to choose from: ENDURANCE, MEMORY, LANGUAGE SKILLS, EMOTION.

Endurance

• When you click on Endurance, an animated, motivating brain gif doing pull-ups will be displayed along with 4 different challenges such as: SKIPPING, PUSHUP, CRUNCHES and JUMPING JACKS. When you click on any of them, their animated, motivating gif doing the exercise will be displayed along with 4 different timer options: 30, 60, 90, 120 seconds. If you click on 30 the timer will begin along with the numbers being dictated out loud.

Memory

• This feature comprises of a flip game and tips to improve your memory option. Flip game is a card game in which all of the cards are laid face down on a surface and two cards are flipped face up over each turn. The object of the game is to turn over pairs of matching cards. When you click on Tips to improve, tips to improve memory will be displayed along with their explanation.

Language

• This option consists of two things: one being 30-day language challenge and another being ted talks. When you click on 30-day language challenge, 30 different tasks will be displayed along with check-boxes. When checkbox 1 is ticked, only then checkbox 2 will be enabled and when all 30 check-boxes are ticked and Finish button is clicked you will see a notifier congratulating you on completion of the challenge. Along with that you will hear a voice congratulating you on for the same. When you click on Ted talks a list of options will appear and when you click on them you will be directed to a YouTube video of the same.

Emotion

• This feature consists of a self-care checklist and again a 30-day happiness challenge. In the first option you will see 12 different tasks along with all the days and their check-boxes. When you fill the report and click on generate results you will get your score out of 420. A notifier will be displayed and along with that your result will be voiced out. Similarly, the happiness challenge has 30 different tasks to encourage you to engage in emotional and mental care. When checkbox 1 is ticked, only then checkbox 2 will be activated. The completion of the challenge will be accompanied by the notifier as well as a voiced out message for the same.

So, this was all about the technicalities of the app. Hope this app succeeds in fulfilling its motive of spreading positivity and enabling people to create joy for themselves by delving into self-care routines especially during delicate times like these. Thank you!

Third: W.A.U.D (What Are You Doing)

Linfeng

Everyone, please allow me to ask you a question. Have you missed your friends as you can’t meet them during the lock down period? It is funny that even though we are living in the same community, but we can’t see each other for so long!

I really missed my best friend, Oscar. As I am still young, I am not allowed to text my friends or call them to check on what they are doing. But sometimes, I’m just dying to know how they are doing. I really don’t wish our friendship to fade. I want to invent an app that solves this problem.

After much thoughts, I have come up with this app called W.A.U.D. It is actually a short form for what are you doing. The main feature of this app is to update us on what our friends are doing in real time by updating their status in the app. For example, if a friend of mine is playing Minecraft, he can just click on the Minecraft icon, and the rest of us will know that he is playing Minecraft.

The objective is simple, I want all children at my age to be able to stay connected with their BFFs.

If you want to download my app, you may need 2 phones to test out the real time function. There is also a help icon on the home screen that it will tell you more about how my app works. Download my app today to stay connected with your friends!

First: Safe Bite

Team The AlGIRLrithm

After months of quarantine because of COVID-19, restaurants are slowly reopening. Yet how do customers know which restaurants best follow health regulations, especially for individuals at higher risk?

SafeBite addresses this dilemma by providing a platform for customers to review restaurants’ compliance to the Center of Disease Control (CDC) COVID-19 safety guidelines. Furthermore SafeBite is an important tool because the most popular food review apps – Yelp, Google Reviews – have not adjusted to the unique demands of COVID-19. Our app addresses this demand by complementing existing sources and providing users with specific information about physical distancing, sanitation, and other safety measures restaurants are using that are crucial to keeping customers and employees safe during the pandemic.

When you first open SafeBite, you are welcomed with a browsable list of restaurants near you. Each restaurant’s individual page will include a rating that focuses on COVID-19 safety criteria based on the CDC restaurant reopening guidelines. On the screen you will find a breakdown of the restaurant’s safety rating based on 3 major categories – physical distancing and environment, sanitation measures, and additional safety measures. Finally, once users decide on a restaurant, they can easily copy its address and find its exact location in their favorite map app.

All ratings are user-generated; to leave a review, simply click “rate” and check off the criteria that the restaurant meets. The scores are derived from the average of 15 criteria within each subsection and then presented to the user as a value out of 10. Users can also leave additional comments in the comment box and then press “submit” to see their review. All restaurant data, including names and addresses, are gathered from RapidAPI’s free Trip Advisor Restaurant Web API. MIT App Inventor’s location sensor component is utilized to display results for the “Search Nearby” function. The color palette and graphic designs displayed in SafeBite are all original creations of the alGIRLithm team. They are perfectly catered to the overall app experience, allowing for easy transitions between screens, as well as a simple, user friendly navigation system.

In addition, while many restaurants have changed their serving method to outdoor dining, takeout, delivery, order-ahead, or curbside pickup, it is unclear what specific services restaurants offer. To combat the confusion, we plan to implement the information convenientinently on the restaurant page. In the future, we will add user authentication and profiles for users to view their activity.

SafeBite will greatly benefit reopening restaurants by providing customers with reliable information that restaurants are being safe and following CDC protocol. While many people are still skeptical about purchasing food from restaurants, we hope SafeBite will ultimately ease their concerns and lead to a healthier, happier, and well-informed community.

Second: Take-A-Microbreak

Team The IdeaRoot

We got the idea for this app when we saw our parents developing health issues by sitting in front of the computer all day long for their office work. My mom started getting chronic back pain while my dad’s blood pressure shot up to the point where he had to go to a hospital.

Our app provides the following microbreaks:

  1. A walking break to stretch.
  2. An object hunt that takes you around the house looking for the objects asked for by the app. The more items you find, the more points you get.
  3. News channels to scroll through, that show only positive news and have you feeling positive.
  4. Peaceful pictures to calm your mind.
  5. A chance to meditate with some soothing music.
  6. A stress relieving ‘poke balloon’ game
  7. A treasure hunting game.
  8. A therapy bot to confide in and share with others

Our app uses the following additions and special components:

  1. APIs like the unsplash API and the google chart API
  2. The ai.look extention for image classification
  3. Various options to share messages with your family and friends
  4. The web viewer to view different news channels

So use this app to TakeYourMicrobreak!

Third: Our Aid

Team TALOS

In Greece, it often takes a long time for an ambulance to arrive, so we decided to create an app which, if you encounter someone in immediate need of care will call someone with first aid training to your location. This app is meant to aid the community by creating a network of people with first aid training, that could provide assistance to injured persons until E.M.T.s or doctors arrive at the scene. This application can be used by both people with first aid training who would be willing to provide aid as well as individuals who want to be ready an emergency situation.

This app is supposed to be downloaded by multiple people. If one person is in need of first aid he can press a button which will notify all the people who are nearby and have stated that they are capable of providing first aid. They will receive a message and then they can rush to help the ones on need. Also one can read first aid instructions, however the app is not targeted at that.

We have created it using the CloudDB so that the people can be notified if they are in close range, which range is determined using the coordinates that we get for the Location Sensor. We have taken care so that even if it used simultaniously by people on different places of the globe there will not exist any disfunction. We have used innovative ways to store the data on CloudDB and we can assure you that even when our code seems ineffective and unessecerily complex, that happened because there was absolutely no other way to achieve our desired result. That is the case because, as you well know, there are certain limitation in the App Inventor that one must find unorthodox way to avoid.

When the SOS button is pressed, the application on people’s, who can help, phone’s check whether their position is in close range and if it is a notify is popping up and their phone number is sent back to the phone of the person needing help, for an SMS to be sent to the helper. The helper can choose to accept or decline the call for help, and if he accepts it, his position is sent to the one needing help and is displayed on the map and a number of how many people are coming to help is displayed. Also if he accepts he is directed to a map showing the position of the one needing help. One can also retract his decision to help and the number of people coming to help is decreased.

Multiple variables and controls are used in order to ensure that everything works properly and that no confusion will be caused if two or more people push the SOS button simultaneously.

In order for you to discover the potential and use our application as it is inteded to be used, you should install it and run on 2 separate devices. You should run it at the same time and press the S.O.S button on the one and watch for the notifier and the SMS on the other. Please make sure that the text on the top of the application screen states the Location Sensor is working properly, since depending the device it tends to lag and not work properly. Also, please restart the application on both phones after you submit for a single time the info in the initial page, because there is an error displayed, when the SOS button is pressed, that although doesnt affect the operation, is annoying. You should do that for only the first time you use it after the installation.

The app can work when kept open on RAM, but will not work in the background, as no app created with App Inventor can do that. But not to worry, there are plenty of applications allowing you to force run apps in the background that can be used to keep it working on the background and for the people wanting to help to be informed. So yeah it can absolutely work in real life.

As for the way one can use it you can watch the video and we believe that our code can be understood. We hope that are code is not too messy for you to understand it. Pleas keep in mind we created it wth nothing but a wish to help our community.

Team WildTeam

Our app is part of the help we can provide to people who may not have the necessary support or company in these times of lock down. Even for those people who are not usually too tech-savvy, either because it gives them respect or simply because they don’t like it, video conferencing has become a very useful tool for staying connected with family and friends.

But not everyone has their friends in the digital world. Some people may find themselves able to use a video conferencing app like Zoom, thanks to the ease of use, but not having any interlocutor on the other side to talk to. We do not have any affiliation with Zoom and the users of our app can use any other platform if they wish. It is designed for people who want to kill time, or who want to learn something new, or make new friends. It is an application that can be easily installed on any electronic device and that everyone can use, since it is clearly understood.

The first time you walk in, it makes you choose a nickname that you want people to see, the language that you want to speak in video conferences and the country where you live so that other people know your time zone. If another day you want to change something in your profile, you go to settings and you can change it.

After saving the settings you enter the main page. The next times you enter you will go directly there because your profile will already be saved and will not ask you again. The last questions that people will have asked will appear in the center of the main page. If you tap on any question, the profile of the person who created it will appear, how many score stars it has, the category of the question, the level of difficulty and finally, the person’s schedule. At the top, a search bar will appear so that you can search for a term and only results that contain it will appear. Next to the search bar is the options menu. If you open it, you will get the options to change your profile (as we have mentioned before), go to see the meetings you have scheduled with other people or go back to the latest questions that people have posted.

Finally, at the bottom is the option to create a question. You should fill out the following form: what is the question (eg how are tomatoes grown?), What category is it (eg gardening) and what difficulty do you think it has in your opinion (eg easy), since you could be an expert in gardening and wanting to talk to another expert like you; and fill in the schedule that works for you (e.g. from Monday to Friday, every afternoon) so that the other person can make you a proposal during that time.

Second: Let’s Live Together

Team MakersDuniya

In this social era where everyone is getting separated from each other and joint families are turning into nuclear families, we, The Team Makers Duniya has developed an app to bring back the separated families together again and to help the old and the needy children find the affection they need.

This is the key idea of our app, Let’s Live Together. To start with we have given an idea of what is the need for Living Together and also to know how to analyze the situation so that it leaves a great impact on the user. We have also included GPS systems for locating old age homes along with orphanages. We have tried to spread awareness through various games and quizzes. If the user wants to know about the developers they can go to the screen on about us. We have also made a section named vaccine tracker. In that app we have a total of 4 screens, the first screen has 3 options- vaccine tracker, vaccine registrations, and vaccine passport. The second screen(vaccine tracker) also has 3 options- vaccine phases, vaccine tracker, and vaccine data. The third screen (registration) will require you to fill your detailed information about vaccination by uploading valid proof as mentioned on the form. The last and the final screen is a vaccine passport where you can show detailed information about vaccination in the central database.

In case your name is written in the database, then on your passport is shown having green color in the background whereas, the passport is red if you have not taken vaccination. The vaccine passport will be inside this app which will be very useful while traveling and visiting any social gathering.

It gives an idea to all others about your vaccination status. At the same time, it is a very useful and handy tool to carry in your mobile.

The app also has some other games which will teach you a lot of basic morals of living together.

Third: LivingTogether

Team Segfault

Our app, LivingTogether, focuses on helping to keep the peace between roommates who are now around each other more often due to COVID-19. It helps families and suitemates keep track of whose turn it is to do what chore as well as when others may not want to be disturbed because of calls or meetings on the Today page. If food, snacks, or supplies run out, they can be added to the shopping list on the Shopping page so the next person who goes out shopping already has a list of what the household or apartment needs. After returning home, they are prompted with the Coming Home protocol, which lists the steps they need to take to reduce the risk of transmitting anything they have picked up while they were out to the people they live with.

Some key features of the app include a messaging page and groups. The Message page allows roommates to communicate with each other within the app. This helps with reminders of payments such as their share of the grocery bill and rent/utilities, letting each other know about some current pet peeves, or just chatting and planning. Each household/apartment using the app will have a group. When the user first opens the app, they are prompted to sign in or create a new account. After this, they can either create a new group for their household or join an existing group. After joining the group, they will have access to the shared shopping list, today page, messaging page, and the coming home protocol page.

Haksung Kim

This is an application that helps you find lost items. This application allows users to register acquired items or search for lost items.

When registering acquired items, we use image analysis technology. When the user takes a picture of the acquired object with their camera, the application analyzes the object and names it.

The position of the user-acquired object can be registered through the position sensor. If the location sensor does not work, you can enter the address directly.

You should also describe how you can find lost items so that you can contact someone who has lost them.

The information you have registered is stored in the storage of Google Firebase and in the realtime database.

The person who lost the item can search for it in the list picker on the main screen. The location of the item is shown on the map. Click and hold the marker on the map to view detailed information about the item.

Second: Traductor Mbya

Team EscuelaDeLaSelva

Mbya guaranies are the native inhabitants of the North-eastern region of Argentina, as well as Paraguay and South of Brazil. They have their own culture and language, which are strongly related to the search of the “yvy mara’ey”, land in harmony with all the elements in nature.

Currently, 8223 mbya guaranies live in Argentina in more than 120 different villages. Most of them still choose natural environments to live in, committed to their roots. They grow their own crops, build their own houses and usually give birth to their children in the rainforest. However, when the aid of Argentinean Health Care System is required, language becomes a huge barrier as physicians are Spanish speakers only.

In here, we present an App that will be able to help Health Care professionals working in intercultural areas to provide a humanized, warm assistance to mbya guaranies attending a Hospital Service. Doctors will have the App on their phones so that they will be able to translate simple questions and common medical expressions to mbya guarani language. The App will display the translation as an audio message in return, so that the patient can listen and reply. The patients will reply yes/no questions as well as those answered with counting fingers or by pointing. Especially for children and teenagers that have been raised in the wildlife, Hospitals can be perceived as a bit hostile. In these cases, being able to understand what the person (stranger) in front of you is trying to say or not being able to, can make a big difference.

Given the heterogeneous nature of mbya guarani language (related to geographical factors), the App was developed in a way every one willing to participate as a translator can help the app to grow. This way more dialects will be included and more people will feel themselves familarized with the app.

Third: Accompany with Memory

Team Accompany with Memory

Design background and ideas:

According to the global dementia report of 2018 by Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI), there were about 50 million people globally suffering from dementia disease with growing rate of almost 10 million people per year. The same crisis also happens in Taiwan and there will be increasing 36 people with dementia disease per day in the future 47 years.

As found in some studies, the incidence of depression for family caregivers of dementia patients is around 40~50%, among which 20~25% is diagnosed as severe depression (Lavresky, 2005). In Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), a research found: 176 pairs of “dementia patient” – “family caregiver” during 2007 and 2012 that the mental health symptoms of the family caregivers play a critical factor to predict the mortality of People with Dementia (PwD) (Lwi, Ford, Casey, Miller, & Levenson, 2017). On the other hand, once the PwD die, the family caregivers usually fail to get out of the bereavement grief. Therefore, to cope with dementia disease, though the first thing is to slow down the deterioration of the disease, it’s also important to pay attention to caregivers’ mental health and their grief adaption in case of post-deterioration of PwD.

Reminiscence Therapy (RT) is a kind of non-drug psychological therapy which could slow down dementia, social isolation and decline in happiness by evoking personal life experience and emphasizing the retention of mental intelligence rather than existing obstacles. This APP is designed to combine the “connection” between PwD and caregiver with the effectiveness of RT with the expectation to help promote the mental health for both PwD and caregiver.

The reason why the name of APP is “Accompany with Memory” :

  1. The memory of the past is the reminiscence nowadays while the current shared experience construction will be the memory in the future;
  2. With the dyadic relationship between PwD and caregiver, they can accompany the counterpart with memory in the past/present/future no mater they are at each other’s side or not.

Features and purpose of “Accompany with Memory” :

This APP is made to be the first APP as an intervention on mental health for both dementia patients and their family caregivers through the construction process of sound memory (via text, voice, and images) and the records of psychological/mental tests, which combine technology and humanity, to effectively promote the health state for both dementia patients and their family caregivers.

Applicable users of this APP:

  1. People with Dementia and their family caregiver
  2. The elderly and their family caregiver
  3. Dementia research related organizations and researchers

Due to the time limit and technique restriction, there are still certain directions for further improvement and development in the future.

1-a. In this version of APP, we can only use “Role Selection” to identify who the current user is, PwD or family caregiver

1-b. Future improvement: To include the matching mechanism of identification and coding, such as the Pwd and family caregiver of dyad XX, into the login process.

2-a. Currently, the all types of data or files collected in the APP are stored in different database.

2-b. Future improvement: Based on the data property, plan a specific Cloud Drive and database for data access in a more streamlined way to simplify the programming.

3-a. In current version, there is no function for user to edit or delete the data/file sent. Besides, no messaging function designed.

3-b. Future improvement: To add various editing functions. Furthermore, add function for Pwd and family caregiver of the same dyad to have a more convenient way to make interaction and sharing.

THEME OF APP : Health Care and AI

APP NAME: Covid19_AI_app

OBJECTIVE OF THE APP: The main theme of the app revolves around the most famous COVID-19 virus. My app is for general population that is suffering from this pandemic and there is uncertainty everywhere. People hesitate to visit hospitals for their check-ups and in return, winds up having acquired a deadly virus that may lead to their deaths due to lack of awareness and I used AI in my app for object detection that detects mask and sanitizer. The app also consists of a Doctor Bot that interacts with users/patients and he answers the questions of the patients. The demonstration of spread of virus is also shown in the simulation where blue balls shows a healthy individual whereas the red ball represents an infected individual . If an infected individual interacts with healthy individual the virus will spread more quickly.

HOW DOES THE APP WORK? There are multiple screen function Covid19: a simulation about how covid19 spread Update: update about covid19 doctor screen: video for doctor Precaution: necessary precaution for everyone to defeat covid19. Classify: classify image mask and sanitizer and tell what they are. Chat with doctor: tell your condition of your health about covid19 and find solution. Translate: tell your symptoms in your language.

Third: All In One

Saanvi Jain

‘’There is food for everyone’s need not for everyone’s greed’’ this was once said by Mahatma Gandhi. In this social and economic era everyone is getting separated some are poor some are bullied and discriminated, I Saanvi Jain have developed an app to bring back what are world is known for which is Unity and no discrimination. This is the major idea if my app, All in one. To start with I have created an app including 4 topics: living together, racial justice, health care and ending poverty. I have also added how to analyze the situation so that it gives a huge impact to the user. I have also added a lot of games, tasks, quizzes, information and much more to create awareness on my various topics. In the application there are a total of 15 screens. The great thing about my application is that through clicking on just one button the user can access a lot of information, play games and test themselves through quizzes. Even if the user wants to know more about me they can quickly click on the ‘About Me’ button and can email me if they want to learn more about this application. You can also go ahead and click on ‘Helpline Numbers’ to help the user to call some important person who can help you and solve your problem! At the same time, this application is very helpful, useful and unique and handy. I hope you all enjoy it and that is very important. I want to make all the users of my application to be happy. There are many games that children can play and would have a lot of fun…This app can be really useful for all ages.

First: Climate Catastrophe - Earth in Dearth

Team MIT-y-warriors

Ever noticed that it is getting hot at the wrong time of the year, it is raining too much in some place and too less in others, farmers are finding it hard to grow crops and animals are finding it difficult to look for food.

Unprecedented wildfires, flooding from glaciers, stronger hurricanes, fiercer snowstorms, and harsher droughts are being commonly reported. Many natural and human induced factors have led to this. But if we ponder and pause, we find that there is a common thread running through all these mishaps.

SO MANY SYMPTOMS. ONE BIG PROBLEM. CLIMATE CHANGE.

Our App is a humble attempt to protect the planet – an appeal to show up and make a difference.

This App is created by Ayush Sankaran and Jashith Narang, two 10 year old boys from Mumbai India who are very passionate about coding and making a change in the world!!

This App is a step towards encouraging and urging everyone to undo the harm and save the planet.

This App is an effort to educate kids about Climate Change and its repercussions.

This app is an endeavour to inspire kids through interactive quizzes, engaging games, advise vis-à-vis carbon footprint and a tribute to the young Climate Activists.

Lets Wake up,
Lets Show up,
Before the time is up,
And Let us Learn, Test and Play the App- “Earth in Dearth”!!!

Third: Earth & I

Team Mutatio

This app is called Earth & I, and it was developed by Maximo Antonini, Pedro Salinas, and Zoe Tizza, three 16-years-old students from Buenos Aires, Argentina. We wanted to build something that could be useful as a multi-themed concept, and so we did. The categories we are addressing are Climate Change and Mental Health. We live in a constantly evolving world in which, as each day goes by, new things begin to have a more important role such as meditation or contamination. We focused on connecting living the present via meditation and breathing exercises and envisioning a better future via the carbon and water footprint we generate within each meal and when we use any means of transport. Now, one may ask themself, what do these two terms mean? Carbon footprint is a measurement to see the amount of greenhouse effect gases, mainly carbon dioxide, released into the atmosphere by human-related, or not, activities. It’s basically a tangible way to see how much a portion of food, activity, or person/family contaminates in a determined space and time. And, water footprint is how much water a food, fuel, or activity demands on the process of manufacture. The app: our aim was to create a minimalist and simple design, something that was easy to use and meant for everyone. On the future tab, the app divides into two programs, one that, as I have previously mentioned calculates the water or carbon footprint, on the first one, the user selects the alimentary category that best fits the food he wants to check and introduces the amount or, portions. The program will show an approximated amount of water liters. On the second one, the user can either input the time or turn on the chronometer when he begins the trip. After he finishes the trip, he must press save and the measurement will show along with if he chooses to, a random comparison in order to have a more tangible way to see the impact of this. It’s a groundbreaking concept with measurements that have been present for quite some time and gaining more attention year by year. On the screen, there is always a button to return to home, in which the user selects “present” or “future”. Now, as regards the present side, the user can choose among some advice to meditate and relax or even a 3-minute meditation created by us. One may ask themself, how do these two things articulate? We firmly believe that in order to make a change we shall first live and understand the present, the small actions we do every day that altogether have a great impact. We are in front of a global climate change crisis and in order to make a change, we need to understand what we are doing wrong, where we are missing, and contaminating.

This app is meant for everyone and anyone, in case you want to contact us we have created a google site in which we have attached a google form(https://sites.google.com/colegiosanlucas.edu.ar/mutatio/home ). Creating this app has been a very enlightening challenge and a great way to help and be the change. Thank you.

Mixed Team

First: Let’s Live Together

Team Prateek Agarwal

In this social era where everyone is getting separated from each other and joint families are turning into nuclear families, we, The Team Makers Duniya has developed an app to bring back the separated families together again and to help the old and the needy children find the affection they need.

This is the key idea of our app, Let’s Live Together. To start with we have given an idea of what is the need for Living Together and also to know how to analyze the situation so that it leaves a great impact on the user. We have also included GPS systems for locating old age homes along with orphanages. We have tried to spread awareness through various games and quizzes. If the user wants to know about the developers they can go to the screen on about us. We have also made a section named vaccine tracker. In that app we have a total of 4 screens, the first screen has 3 options- vaccine tracker, vaccine registrations, and vaccine passport. The second screen(vaccine tracker) also has 3 options- vaccine phases, vaccine tracker, and vaccine data. The third screen (registration) will require you to fill your detailed information about vaccination by uploading valid proof as mentioned on the form. The last and the final screen is a vaccine passport where you can show detailed information about vaccination in the central database.

In case your name is written in the database, then on your passport is shown having green color in the background whereas, the passport is red if you have not taken vaccination. The vaccine passport will be inside this app which will be very useful while traveling and visiting any social gathering.

It gives an idea to all others about your vaccination status. At the same time, it is a very useful and handy tool to carry in your mobile.

The app also has some other games which will teach you a lot of basic morals of living together.

Second: COVID-19: Rumo à Vitória

Team Guardians of the code

This application was developed by Team Guardians of the Code in July 2020 and it has three main objetives:

  • Present COVID-19’s data in the state of Rio Grande do Sul-BR;
  • Display guidelines for prevention according to health organizations;
  • Display news about the disease.

These three contents are based on state government websites (if the Portuguese language is chosen), World Heath Organization (if the English language is chosen) and third-party APIs that are opened and properly cited within the application itself. The objective of the project is to gather information and present it in a practical and accessible way for the population of Rio Grande do Sul. In addition, it is understood that information is the main form of prevention against the virus, because a vaccine, until the first half of July 2020, was not avaliable for population. Moreover, if this application be useful for at least one person, the goal and satisfaction of the developers has been achieved. The union in this critical moment of the world history is essential.

Third: Health Surveillance

Team InvisibleTeam

Components for the the poject. dht Temperature sensor,MAX30105 sensor (To use as oximeter and bpm),Grove-GSR sensor,HC-05 Bluetooth Module,Arduino nano. Those who aren’t physically strong(May be patient or elderly person) and need to be monitored all the time will use sender app.Various data of his body will be uploaded to the server and there will be a receiver app who will monitor the data from anywhere of the world.I’m going to describe in brief.

It is mainly health monitoring system remotely.If you can’t monitor your dearest person physically (who may be a patient or physically disble), our app will help you !

01:At first all the components should be connected (Connection details are available in arduino code which I’ve uploaded in the media section of the aia . The file name of the code is:”ArduinoCode.ino” If your sensors don’t work unexpectedly but have just a arduino, you can still whether my app is worthy or not.I have added another arduino code if your sensors crashes(just random analog value as sensors valu and bluetooth code).That arduino code file name:Sensors_Crash_Code.ino

02:dht temperature sensor will get patient’s body temperature in farenheight,beat per minute and oxizen saturation from MAX30105 and body condition whether he is excited or normal from gsr sensor.

03:As bluetooth is connected with arduino,data from the sensors will be sent to the sender app. Sender app will get data from the sensors within 0.01 milisecond. So you are getting real time data in the sender app.

04:Then all these data is shown in sender app.In this app one can know his location.

05:If the patient’s body temperature is greater or equal to 102 degree farenheight then a messege “He has fever” As his current location is known,in the message his location will also be added. As a result the receiver can know where the physically weak person is.Again this proecess is also if heart beat is greater than 120 as for a normal person heart beat is around 70-80 beat per minute.If oxyzen saturation is lower than 80% than there is also a message.

06:These data are uploaded to firebase real time data.These data are retrieve by another app:receiver app

07:Here receiver means the person who wants to monitor someone. For example you can’t monitor your elderly father all the time physically but also want to know some kind of unexpected thing occurs to his body. This app will help you tremendously!!
