The COVID-19 pandemic infected millions and claimed hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide, prompting a complete global lockdown and halting bustling economies, with an estimated economic loss of nine trillion dollars. Social distancing and lockdown measures were the primary methods used to slow down infection rates globally, including in India. Governments struggled to coordinate responses effectively, as traditional technologies and fragmented approaches proved inadequate in managing this unprecedented crisis.
Me and my team worked on this solution for the COVID - 19 National Bio Informatics Hackathon organized by the prestigious Anna University in collaboration with Spoken Tutorial, Indian Culture Project of Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay , DERBI Foundation, Madras School Of Social Work (MSSW) and Climate Smart Technologies.
We were awarded the state level citation (View Details) and were among the top 30 teams overall and top 50 in Android App Development amongst 10000+ teams at this national level hackathon.
As part of the awards, we ended up being offered a fellowship to collaborate in national and international projects by development of applications under the Academy Industry Innovation collaboration fully funded by Climate Smart Technologies.
