PreventVirus Program.

Viruses and arboviruses grow rapidly without prevention. The Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated this. Government actions and all efforts have not been able to prevent the world from advancing. Possibly after the peak of this virus, natural relaxation in society will occur. Promoting daily attention to individual care is everyone's obligation.

We propose to simplify means and bring the citizen closer to these care with good robots, capable of dynamic interactions in the individual's preferred channels. Punctual warnings and alerts in a consensual way, with the aim of promoting preventive and corrective care, making it automatic. One-off recycling, with decreasing frequency.

It will make it possible to measure people's level of commitment and will generate important insights for the future from a perspective not yet addressed.

Action on a scale, with its due adherence.

Covid-19 boot the world. It also created several solidarity efforts. It gave rise to several important civil society movements to fight the virus and to promote information and assistance to people from poor communities. An example is the project Hands of Solidarity, sponsored by the Northeastern Peasant Youth Association. The initiative has already formed around 500 Popular Health Agents, supported by the Archdiocese of Olinda and Recife and the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) and several social organizations. There have already been 5 neighborhoods in a city of 1.6 million inhabitants.

The objective is to train leaders in Recife communities that will act voluntarily in the care and mapping of the basic needs of that population. "They are agents who will strengthen the support network, to take care of your street, your neighborhood and whoever needs to fight the coronavirus and in defense of the Unified Health System - SUS. The goal is to train around 10,000 agents across the city ", pointed out the general coordinator of the project, Paulo Mansan.

The platform will start with these 500 agents to promote assisted self-preservation, as an additional protection in the daily lives of these volunteers.

Social networks, messaging apps, geographic location, push notifications. The technological world is in everyone's hands and everyday. Information, business, data ... everything is generated on these channels. They are there, available to a significant portion of humanity. These will be used to massify the assisted self-preservation program.

Good robots innovating with a proactive role in people's daily lives. The platform will promote interactions of an educational nature via the channel most used by the user: whatsApp, sms, telegram, social networks and audios. Simple and fast communication, generated by Al chatbots with a focus on daily prevention. Questions, tests and gamifications. Warnings, reminders and tips. Alerts of contamination risks in areas with agglomerations, via geolocation. Tools aligned with official protocols updated continuously and with specifics for each location. A program pre-defined by the user with approaches on the routine of regular hygiene, attentive to eminent risks of contaminated.

The platform will attract users through various means. You will perform the consent form and start the program through the preferred channel of the individual / family group. It will provide insight and valuable guidance to build a new culture of personal care.

The coronavirus initially reached the most educated, most enlightened citizen, also wealthy social classes and more developed countries. It may seem counterintuitive to appoint these individuals as the initial target audience to receive daily and specific guidance on their self-preservation. But the choice is part of a larger strategy that aims to reinforce attention to this problem and promote a coordinated mobilization that could bring further benefits to the most disadvantaged population.

The pandemic brought important reflections and perhaps a unique opportunity for human beings to look at each other with more empathy and practical actions of responsibility and the common good.

Organized society and more favored social classes will be able to contribute to the sustainability of the initiative at scale, since the success in assimilating the most uninformed population will depend on much more effective strategies and on the economic contributions necessary for these individuals to join, massify and engage.

Starts in early July with the paid platform previna.co

Prevention, health and life. A new normal. Some changes in the contemporary world are imposing. Without many choices. Life was a bargaining chip for many who were surprised or who were not prepared to deal with new coronaviruses. Prevention precedes health with the strengthening of personal care in people's daily routine.

The alignment of the problem, a solution and the public is at a unique moment now. Without much resistance and counter arguments. Bringing these interests together in a common effort can help prepare people to deal with new pandemic crises.

The best technology is one that simplifies things. Connects the user to what he needs, with quick and familiar access.

Making robots proactive in order to promote a common good within a specific scenario is something that can be considered innovative. There are hundreds of platforms and services that offer robots for interactions with humans. Most companies using AI bot technology are focused on promoting a consumer / company business relationship. In the research carried out, we did not identify a performance with the characteristics we bring. There is an army of robots available to do good. Robots never forget. They can be programmed to have the regularity and punctuality that the moment requires.

Redefine the meaning of robots that interact on the internet. Create virtual assistants to support daily care. They can be programmed to have the regularity and punctuality that the moment requires. They can help people in their daily lives. They can help prevent imminent risks in specific situations. This is an innovative action.

Integrating citizens with the most used tool in their daily lives is our means of simplifying communication. The user chooses the instant messaging application to perform the interactions. WhatsApp, Telegram, social networks and others that will be activated to facilitate the planned dialogues.

Robots interact through the citizen's preferred channel. Notifications according to your location. Before leaving home, on the way to work, after leaving work. Or anywhere relevant to the user. The platform sends relevant messages provided for in the program to allow permanent care. Valuable warnings, alerts and tips.
A set of technological solutions aimed at providing more attention and security to minimize risk in people's daily lives.
Periodic insights with the level of engagement and responses made in the program.

Robots are massively widespread in people's daily lives. They interact in different ways and channels, often without the user noticing. Using virtual assistants to support users is also not new. Redefining the meaning of robots that interact on the internet with preventive actions is something that can promote an important difference in conversation and AI technologies.
An action of public utility and with proactive action in a punctual and coordinated way to guide, remember and inspect daily care, in a consented way.

Prevention is on the rise. All are preserved today. Some with total discipline. Others with less care. Several so many with no care.

In general, everyone is aware of the reality of the moment. It has become a genre of first need to prevent. To prevent. To prevent. Washing hands is the main means of prevention.
The big problem is that the human being is not a machine. It is fallible, it often forgets. You already have in your personal life a series of activities, duties and concerns that can bring risks in the daily application of this demand. Any carelessness and contamination will be present, in this pandemic moment.
After the most critical phase, the tendency is for everyone to relax naturally. Covid-19 brought to light a highly contagious and easily transmitted virus. Quiet and fast. It stopped the world in a few months. Great potential for lasting behavioral changes.
Offering robots as virtual assistants to assist in the personal care of individuals would be something of very little adherence in other times. Allowing daily inquiries, accepting reminders, warnings and so many other precautions would not bring great adherence. Today, this adhesion has good chances of acceptance among people. Assisted monitoring, in addition to contributing to the necessary care, can generate important behavioral data in users who choose this tool.

Governments and various organizations will be able to devise better strategies for dealing with eventual situations such as the one we are experiencing in this pandemic.

It currently does not serve any. It is projected to serve a few million and a year. In 5 years it will be able to expand operations to a few tens of millions.

The platform will start operating in the first half of July 2020. With two focuses: free services offered to specific groups. The option pays attention to the ordinary citizen who can afford it. There will also be a paid version with plans for the business and government segment. In the corporate segment, an assisted prevention program was designed to resume activities more safely. For governments, it will offer services to public servants and the general population with data monitoring and engagement statistics.

The platform will serve other viruses and arboviruses that reach cities and countries in the world annually. It may be adopted by several nations as a preventive education tool, inserted in people's daily lives in a natural way, since it will use usual channels and will simplify communication more and more. The initially proposed program may be adapted to different situations with specific and scheduled actions. Periodic. Bonus strategies, gamification, monetary incentives and other means of bringing the user into the program.

There are, of course, several barriers. We haven't addressed this topic yet. However, the main barrier we see is the challenge of making the platform more visible to the general public, reaching as many people as possible. The financing will occur in a modest and natural way with each adhesion of the private public. We have designed various actions to prospect supporters in the business and government sectors.

We did not detail this topic in our planning. We have a signal from several partners, after offline consultations. Today there are major mobilizations in Brazil aimed at helping to combat Covid- 19. Financial support and provision of technological infrastructure. We are going to attack this niche strongly.

One strategy we adopted to make the platform scalable quickly was to use companies with expertise in bots and AI. They will operate the chat services, applying a cost pricing for the platform's free initiative, allowing an affordable value to make the program viable in the adoption of registrations.

Not applicable.

Two full-time employees.

The platform was conceived in the pandemic period. José Santana, CEO of PreventVirus is an entrepreneur with experience in the third sector and several private initiatives.
Tayná Cloosterman, student of international relations - Coimbra Portugual.
Afonso Carvalho, experience in the commercial sector.

There are no partnerships. We are in the prospecting phase.

There is no way to wait.

We will start the paid platform aimed at people who can afford a small amount and start the program. We are also initiating business plans to serve employees of companies in various segments, as well as governments.
Everyone automatically becomes funders of the free version, as part of the resources make it possible to provide access to the free version.
We also created a strategy to continuously seek out supporters / financiers.
Brazil is experiencing a time of great empathy and sensitivity with the less fortunate and the fear of an exponential increase in cases. Great mobilization of business groups and the Brazilian middle class to change this reality.

The platform has monetary goals in its paid section. This section will finance part of the free initiative. Free access will also receive support from the private sector and governments.

Opportunity to give visibility to the initiative.

By taking the initiative with greater user support, important behavioral data will be generated to contribute to public policies aimed at the safety and health of populations. This action will bring more partners and there may be more and more adherence.

We have not yet addressed this issue in our planning.
