Global Cybernetic Vaccine – GCV GApp

1)The born of a new virus 2019 -nCoV has caused concerns on China and the world. The World Health Organization declared the virus a Global Health Emergency on Thursday, January 30 and now countries all over the world are taking measures against this unexpected enemy. 

As a result, today the world needs a mean of coordination to prevent and solve human crisis more efficiently, and one of these solutions could be given through internet and the power of interconnectivity.

I propose the creation of a better system of interaction using the current power of interconnectivity, the use of global platforms of international governance to coordinate better challenges that could require the world coordination and cooperation of citizens (GApps). 

The GCV is the first Gapp focused on reducing, preventing and detecting more effectively human infections around the world. This app is intended to solve the following challenges:

• 1)Coordination and prevention across countries related with viruses globally
• 2)Distribution of human and economical resources
• 3)Detection of diseases
• 4)Prevention of diseases
• 5)Human actions against diseases
• 6)Faster scientific research and diagnosis around the world
• 7)Accurate information of disease and preventions
• 8)Accurate number of cases, infections, precautions across nations
• 9)Faster communication to actions, preventions, measurements

The better interaction of processes against human crisis could significantly reduce and prevent complex problems at a global scale that can compromise our current lifestyle. 

The GCV GApp should have the following criteria as features of their software:

• 1)Self-evaluation to identify individual cases of coronavirus near regions with high volume of citizens
• 2)Citizen identification of cases with high probability of coronavirus to provide better assistance of cases of coronavirus
• 3)Traction of possible cases of coronavirus based on the number of interactions that the infected citizen/s interacted to isolate cases from healthy citizens  à highly important
• 4)Means of communication, notification and prevention with the users that possibly have coronavirus to isolate from real cases
• 5)Provide international support by external institutions, organizations, or individuals in resources, ideas, funding, or other support
• 6)Additional actions that might be required after the first evaluation of the GApp in infected cases of coronavirus

Determine these cases will reduce significantly the human and cost resources and isolate most effectively the use of actions at a global scale. 

a)Before it has been detected

Image our passenger has been in contact with 100 people before having symptoms of coronavirus, in this stage the GApp can take a record of the people this user has been interacting with to have a record of the number of potential cases of coronavirus. The app has only validation of the phone of being in interaction with other phone user, without any other requirement for this stage, this is to have a number of people who they have been interacting with based on the app.  Figure 1 shows an example of user interaction with healthy cases. 

The idea of this connections is to create a network of interactions of one person in case of possible infections of coronavirus to identify the spread of a disease.

Having a path of number of cases helps to detect better number of patients with coronavirus to better assist future cases of patients with coronavirus and identify the number of future spreads. 

b)During the disease At this stage the virus has already infected other people and started to incubate in other users that will interact with more citizens. 

The notification of cases helps to validate information better.

We will use a viral case that happened in China, a passenger had to leave a taxi for presumable contagious of coronavirus. Here the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqI4uDqlByc.

1) The patent  wants to go to a hospital. With a GApp the passenger can have a mean of transportation according to their conditions. 

2) The taxi driver and second passenger commented if they should call the police. With a GApp officials are inmediately informed of the issue. 

3) We found a case!!. With a GApp we connect the contagious line and isolate it, as we only need one case to connect people. 

It does not exist an appropiate way to coordinate processes that require extensive human coordination. The use of GApps are intended to provide positive actions across nations and improve the communication and coordination of activities across their citizens.

The first GApp proposed is the GCV GApp, this global app is focused on detecting, preventing, and reducing cases of infections around the world, and the first virus proposed to be used is in the 2019 – nCoV. 

The use of a GApp could significantly help organizations around the world to organize support of three types:

• 1)Equipment
• 2)Funding
• 3)Human resources

Currently China is having a significant increase in the number of masks, protector glasses and suits, and having a global mean of communication and coordination could significantly improve the situation across China

The OMS recently emitted a request to global nations around the world for 675 million dollars to finance their plan and coordination with other nations. Using a Gapp that can provide sources, and most importantly, provide transparency of the funds provided could significantly improve and fasten the processes of global nations around the world.

The support provided by institutions worldwide could be improved with volunteer support across nations that require activities in different areas. Thus, having a platform where individuals compromised with the global challenge could benefit the resources and support of different areas.

The GApp is an app that has additional benefits to support international threats around the world. It uses the same components that an app will use, with the only difference that collection of data is not linked to a specific network of organization, but redistributed and reorganized to different organizations. 

This is a new perception of apps that can be implemented to avoid hacking of data, stealing of information and misuse of information. Attributes have been widely used in blockchain technologies and can be implemented as an alternative to support technology. The full description of the concept of Collected Learning of Interconnected Data (CLID) can be found here: https://docs.google.com/docume...

The networking technology is highly used by clients and companies around the world. As an example, Facebook uses this network to connect users around the world in terms of seconds. The CLID is only the concept of networking interconnection applied without the need of data from the organization, but across countries, so that data becomes part of the institution that collects it, not the middlemen that uses the data. it is a safe alternative to protect data from users, using the same technology available in a more efficient way. Here a link of the use of networking technology: https://learn.org/articles/What_is_Networking_Technology.html 

The idea of cybernetic can be discussed as “the scientific study of how humans, animals and machines control and communicate with each other” Wikipedia the free encyclopedia. Thus, the idea of communication and control at a global level has a significant importance when it comes to deadly viruses and diseases.

Now, for vaccine, it is described as “A biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease” Wikipedia the free encyclopedia. If we incorporate this concept at a global level it could be described as a global human preparation that provides active acquired protection/immunity to a particular disease.

Therefore, the idea of a Global Cybernetic Vaccine could be described as an efficient mean of communication, coordination, and preparation to provide global protection and/or immunity to a particular disease or virus. 

Finding paths of the number of cases could help to prevent the spread of the virus at a higher range, and could isolate and control better diseases to coordinate with the population

Hospitals could prioritize lines of people who have been with closest interaction of coronavirus, as it has a higher likelihood to have coronavirus than further lines. Ex: Second generation preferred than third generation to be treated. 

With a unique and trusted mean of communication, it could be easier to coordinate actions that require measures, prevention across communities, and call of action. These are some of the benefits that the GApps could provide in communication:

• 1)Provide to citizens across nations relevant information about progress of vaccines, proper treatments of virus, and other to better inform of the situation with international institutions
• 2)Notify to the population cases of coronavirus close to the area to prevent contagious of more patients
• 3)Notify to the pertinent authorities’ possible cases of coronavirus to better provide resources, treatment and better procedures of cases
• 4)Communicate to medical centers, hospitals and other health institutions the patients in critical conditions who required urgent medical assistance

Once the virus has been detected it could be properly treated/isolated by the population, the cases found can be reduced as user’s confirmation to be positive according the range of infection

It is a concept that can be easily implemented with the current technology. With the right investment in tech products and means of communication including WHO and global tech companies it could be delivered in 2 to 6 months. The GCV could save around 2% of the population according to the mortality rate of the virus in one year and be implemented for all users of the affected countries in one year. In 5 years it could be focused on detecting pandemics and deseases around the world, saving millions of lives and serving around 70% of the population. 

Within this year the goal is to stop the virus around the world. Basically to impede that the virus becomes a global threat (pandemic) and affects the economy of the world. In the net five years the goal is that the GApp becomes the sanitary protector against diseases at a global scale, so that finding viruses, and preventing processes become easier and faster. 

A GApp has the advantage and disadvantage of international connectivity.A software with that characteristics should have strict legal policies to operate in different countries. Therefore, the GApp should find an alternative to be able to operate in different countries without the problems of interconnectivity and privacy data. Another important issue is the network connectivity, for countries like China where internet adoption overcomes the 95% of the population a solution like this is easier to implement than countries with less connectivity. 

The GApp can operate without personal information, as it only requires to identify a case and connect possible cases around the found case. Data is only collected when a confirmed person with coronavirus is confirmed, and only to the countries with the problem to protect users data. If internet connectivity is the problem, then we could create an offline version to interact through sim cards and send primitive information, so that it still works with the implemented information. 

I am the only solver in this idea. I am doing this project because I am only interested in helping organizations to solve the current challenge of the Covid-19 as it can be a more serious problem in the future. I did a whitepaper of the idea, for more details you can follow the link. https://drive.google.com/drive...

I am currently working on different projects of infrastructure in Ecuador and Canada. I am sharing my idea as an alternative to the current solution that the world is facing. If I were selected with this idea and eventually received funds, I will decide to pursue this project as it is an immediate need for the world, giving my current experience in startups around the world. 

Also, as an interesting fact, I am a university student, and according to the statistics from Forbes, the likelihood of success for entrepreneurial students is around 79% at my current age and still I have experience with startups around the world. If you are interested to know more, you can follow the link: www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-nara... 

Regarding this project I am not working with any organization, but I have connections with incubators in Ecuador and Canada including Velocity, Communitech, The Founder Institute, and Next 36 that could be beneficial at the moment of developing the idea. Right now I am focused on other projects, but if there is a international commitment on pursuing this idea, it would be a pleasure to developing it from scratch.

1) Government institutions uses the GApp as a way of collecting data and supporting national processes. 

2) Healthcare institutions uses the GApp to provide treatments, medical support and proper distribution of equipment. 

3) News and Media uses the GApp to properly informed the community about the coronavirus (sometimes being uninformed it is more dangerous than the actual virus)

4) Doctors and experts around the world can use the GApp to collect data and support studies of coronavirus more efficiently accross nations. 

5) Means of trasportation such as airports, cruise ships, buses and taxis can use the GApp to have a better control of points of overcrowd population more efficiently. 

6) Healthcare corporations and startups could use the GApp as a selling point of a vaccine, masks, equipment, according to the requirements of WHO and national institutions. 

7) Global organizations around the world could use the GApp as a middle point of raising funds for organizations.

As one business model of many available we could make a small commission   of use in transactions between organizations and clients. Adaptability of idea and changes could be implemented in the future. 

The initial investment is crucial. Achieving an initial investment of the concept will certainly increase the number of interested investors in the project. Having media exposure for a competition will provide better chances of investment from different incubators and accelerators. As long as this project has an initial validation, receiving support of institutions becomes a feasible option. I have a network of investors that I made in Canada, so I will start a capital fund raise across Canada finding some investors to support the project as it continues growing. International institutions like WHO could have some interest in a project of this magnitude, as it is less expensive and more feasible than the current measures taken so far. 

Recently I received a message from Solve asking my help to fight the coronavirus (of course it was to all the members at Solve). I want to help to the affected population because I see it is a global threat that involves many aspects of our current lifestyle, including health, economy, job opportunities, etc. I am applying to Solve with this idea to know the real impact and potential, as I enjoy creating startups from scratch and proposing disruptive ways of solving problems. If Solve believes this is an idea that could help solve this problem, I will definitely be up for the challenge behind that problem, as it is an actual problem for our society. 

Execution is what makes the difference in this type of projects. With the right exposure and initial funding this idea can easily receive support of other istitutions. The thinking behind is simple, as coronavirus is a global threat that involves many companies, investing in an alternative that could improve the solution will eventually help big companies with global values involved (Apple, Samsung, Google, etc) and the companies affected with this problem. Investment certainly seems to be the less difficult part for this project if there is the support of an international organization interested in taking the initial risk.

I would like to partner with WHO, they are the ones that need the technology with more urgency as having a resource that could prevent cases will be the best alternative to prevent a pandemic. The organization recently asked to the world to raise the amount of 675 million dollars to fight coronavirus. For an organization that has the support of different nations would be a potential alternative to have a project done for 10 million dollars as a expensive estimation. Even in this case it is less 15% of the total amount requested by the institution, which could even be less than this value. In the worst of the cases that WHO does not invest, having their network and easy interaction with global organizations around the world will be enough to receive support for institutions and corporations.
