Aasha (Hope)

The solution focuses on reaching out to different people of all strata and age group; enlightening them about brain health. A regular brain check-up and expressing feelings with people is the main goal.

There have been a lot of issues regarding brain health. Mental illness in India is considered a taboo. If a person who is mentally ill goes to a doctor he or she is considered mad. People fail to understand the importance of brain health.

The solution which i have proposed has 2 stages: 

• The first and foremost thing is to enlighten people about brain health. If people become aware of their mental illness they can take the necessary actions.

We can do this by keeping health camps in different areas especially those who cannot afford medication. Also with the mental health camps we can set up a full health check-up camps to reach out to many people.

We can also make it compulsory for every professional to undergo a mental checkup along with their health checkups.

• Now a very important issue comes up, that is

How will we reach out to many people?

One way to reach out to the crowd is through camps and the other way is to keep 5 to 10 days workshops in offices, colleges and schools.

We can first start by aiming at the professionals and the students as they are under enormous pressure or work or studies respectively. We can go to different MNCs or banks or any other work place , schools, colleges and talk to every professional or student present (one by one). Also we can recommend them to take yearly brain health check ups along with their full body check ups. This way we can keep track of the patients illness if there is any.

The key elements of the solution focus on mainly 2 things:

• Awareness

The solution focuses on improving the awareness about brain health.

• By setting up camps or workshops in offices, colleges and schools.

Once we start interacting with people and tell them the cons of not taking care of their brain health they will come forward for check ups in hospitals.

The solution I proposed may not be the best solution which you may have got or may be it may not be unique ; but it's a solution which will work for sure.

At some point of time many of us would have gone through depression. I too did( not a serious one, but a little experience). The only way out of it is to talk to people and try and get out of the cocoon. 

Not everyone who has a brain health issue is rich enough to become stable again.But those who are should learn the value of it. 

1. The impact of the solution will be that people will be more aware of their brain health and also seek to solve the brain health issues.

2.All the professionals, students will surely benefit from the solution.

3. It will be deployed to them through the institute they work for or by the school or college

track the people - 10 health camps check up

talk to individuals and also recommend scans or medication if required. - 10 workshops

we can check if brain is working properly or not. - using scanners or robots that can scan the brain

1. My solution is innovative as it uses the most ancient ways of solving the problem i.e., bu interacting with people

2.It not unusually new , it's a tried and tested method which uses as less technology as possible.

Technology has its pros and cons. But people are becoming slaves of the same technology they built. 

So, the solution i proposed doesn't involve a lot of technology. It's more human to human interaction.

1.The solution will be deployed by camps that are free of charge.

2. If people can invest in their regular health check ups they can spend a little on their brain health also.

By connecting to different hospitals and NGO's the team can sustain itself.

Time:

Not everyone has time. People have to make up some time. Which i am not sure if they will readily agree for.

1. Through solve i can reach out to many people.

2. I hope that people become more aware of their brain health and also take care of themselves. 

M alone as of now.
