CovLocator

1. The problem of not knowing wich places are more dangerous to visit. Where people gather to buy like supermarkets . So the users know which places have less people to do groceries and wich places avoid where there is infected people.
2. An smartphone application where users can see the aproximate locatios (for security) in real time of people infected (red circles) and not infected (blue circles). So they can plan a way of avoiding places with high cincentrations of people or infected cases.
3. If scaled globally, it could help people navigate more safely in case they need to go somewhere. It could help avoid more cases because they could have an idea of how much an stablishment or place is populated at a certain time and they could avoid said places. They could avoid places whith infected people.

Well... the problem is that people keep going to places and they dont keep a safe distance. They dont know where the cases are, with this application they will see a map with realtime information about the locations of people infected and not infected, aproximately. So they will know for example when the supermarket is less populated so they can have a better chance of being at a safe distance. Many people are afected with this and many are afraid. With this, they could know wich places to avoid, in case they need to go out.

I have searched for something loke this but I did not find anything. Any realtime information. So definitely it could help to detect places that are points of infection, and prevent further cases.

My solution is a smarthpone application with an intuitive user interface and easy to use by everyone. In this application they see an interactive map where real time locations of infected people and not infected are displayed in circles. Red for infected, blue for not infected. It uses the phone gps with a complex algorithm to show an aproximate location that changes in each cycle. That means that the current exact location of the users is not showed, so they can be sure that their location is secure.

Many people need to go out to work or to buy groceries. They are the most vulnerable and the first to spread the desease, because if they get infected, they infect their families. This is for all the people who wants to know when the supermarket is less dangerous to go. Or where they should avoid incase there is an infected person. So they can do their duties more safely. This way the virus can be defeated in less time. This information could save many more lives, the information that users will help to share.

We must fight the virus, I am providing a way to help solve the problem of the virus spreading. And thus helping to keep alive more people. It's a challenge in this times keep people healthy and without the desease. With this, the challenge becomes less difficult to achieve.

Currently I dont have competitors, but i know that as soon it's out there will emerge competitors, but we will have an advantage to be the first. This application uses current technology to address a problem that I dont know why other people have not think about. So my solution is now unique, you can try to find other but you will find only cuntry wide red areas where there are cases, not in a precise way and only infected cases. People dont know if there is a supermarket with less people a few bloks away from the ones they go to buy.

As I wrote before, the technology is the gps location with an algorithm to keep the location of the user secure in a randomly generated area around said user. Using a map in the app the users will see in real time where the covid cases are and where people are gathered most.

The tecnology that I use is widely used in maps, in for example the uber app, google maps, and many others, so its a reliable technology that I am going to use for the purpose of saving lives.

This is simple.

First the app goes to the users, they get information about locations with infected cases and locations of interest (supermarkets) with high density of people, in real time. They avoid this places and go to buy to a less populated store, and they have les chances to get infected. They continuously get safer by knowing where and how to go to work or places, they avoid infections and the virus starts to fail, we start to have less infected, and soon everything goes back to normal. The economy don't suffer for longer quarantine periods and everyone is happy.

Currently: 1

One year: 4 billion people.

Five years: between 0 and 500,000. The desease will no longer exist.

My goal is to give people this app so they can start having better chances to avoid the virus infection, so they can live more than a few days if they get infected. The first year is to get this app to everyone in the planet, if the virus is defeated then within 5 years i will be happy to know that this helped save millions of lives, even if the app is no longer used. It can be repurposed of course but for now, I want the virus to be defeated so people and economy no longer suffer from desease and quarantine.

I plan to achieve them by geting the help of media so the world can know this and use it, the faster the better. My main plan is you, at mit solve that have conections and partners, you are my plan to get to the entire world faster.

The main barrier is that i dont have the money to get to the masive media, to publish this app. Thats all, because the app is ready but I dont even have money to pay the google play developer console fee, to publish it on google play hehe. But I know i will somehow get it and get the app where it needs to be, in case you cant help me.

In five years I hope there are no longet a use for this app, because it would mean that we defeated the virus. In case that we didn't defeat the virus, then I would improve the app to meet the requirements that surface from the pandemics.

With help and with reason. And with money.

Only me.

I have a physics mayor. I learned Java in 2 months. I am aware of the curent situation and I wanted to help save lives. I always find a way to solve problems. If i had the money I would research for the cure, and not only covid-19 but other deceases, and world problems like pollution and new forms of energy, space exploration and all to make a better humanity. For now I can help with this app, if in the future i get money, i will build a lab to research everything.

I don't know yet the busines model, but I think that in app ad revenue would be the best chioce.

Donations, because the expenses are little. The main difficulty is to program the app, but is already done by my self so only to get to the store and to use facebook and other media so people know about it's existence. Also writing to the masive media and goverments about the utility of the app so they can use it too, they can donate to improve the app too. That way the app is used by more and more people.

Because it's a platform where many people tray their best to solve world problems, so here i might get more help than in other places. Monetary or by just sharing the use of the app.

I need help to choose the best business model. The funding and with legal matters. Also with marketing and media, so the idea can have the most and fastest impact. I want to help the world so the fastes the people uses it, the fastest we defeat the virus.

Google, they have the technology that I use on the app. I would like to have access to their premium storage and use of the platforms so the app have no limitations.

I want to help humanity, not only with this app, but with science. Cure deseases, reduce pollution with new energies, improvement of human well being with new technologies. I wull use the prize to improve the app and to work with other projects to help humanity and the beautiful live in the planet.

I like to use sciense and technology to improve human lives, health and nature. I plan to use AI and machine learning in the future to control some of my ideas, that require a level of precision hardly achieved by humans.
