Inspiration

Our inspiration for this project was to help people during the Coronavirus pandemic. People coming together for a cause has always been a powerful tool in the tackling of a problem, we thought to add our contribution to the fight against coronavirus to the best of our abilities.

Problem Statements

Since the second surge in the number of coronavirus cases in India in past months, the availability of resources and access to healthcare facilities has been a point of concern for all . We feel that a lot of the people do not get access to these publicly available resources because of the following reasons:

• Since the first surge of Covid-19 in India , people have to quarantine themselves for breaking the chain of infection, resulting in people being locked out of many healthcare facilities for self care.

• Granted , there are sites for resource availability but most of these sites fail to cater to a majority of the requests from smaller cities. Most of the people in these cities have to resort to other social media platforms such as twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp etc. which often leads to larger response times where speed is critical. We have tried to tackle both of the problems using our Covid resource and healthcare management webapp – ‘Doc-On-the-Go’ .
