Our platform will generate data around the locations and contact info for retailers so people can access PPE without leaving home!
Thanks for your question Isaac Jumba ! With the support of OpenIDEO and the Vodafone Americas Foundation, we believe that we can pivot our platform and operations to map out 10,000 healthcare outlets in 12-16 weeks. A brief timeline below:
Weeks 1-3: Building and implementing changes to our existing platform (app and web). This will allow us to use our tech stack to generate data specific to COVID-19 and PPE shortages.
Weeks 3-4: Testing platform and initial outreach to community groups and partners
Weeks 4-12: Data generation using our pivoted platform. For Lagos, this coincides with the end of social distancing measures (from the info available today).
Weeks 12-16: Data verification, cleansing and publicising: Here, we would ensure that all data corrected is accurate, verifying each outlet and PPE information. We would then amalgamatae the key attributes of this data and build a simple, easy to use map, accessible by the publc, for the 20M+ citizens of Lagos to access whether it be for the COVID-19 crisis or any future healthcare needs.
Hope this helps answer your question, and feel free to let me know if you have any others!
