Abstract

Whenever the world is faced with a devastating outbreak of events, technology innovations have proven to be a go to solution that expedite the recovery process. We propose a mobile application rapidly developed as a contender to the TechForce19 innovation challenge, a backing of the NHSX [35] offering £500, 000 to innovators to develop digital solutions for supporting vulnerable in the community during the coronavirus outbreak. Our solution would allow people who are in self-isolation to ask for help and enable a fast, secure support by the community within 15 miles radius. The solution would allow volunteers to recognize the precise need in the community and how they can support. We briefly describe and reflect about the pandemic in the world with a focus on UK as an Introduction. The Background is a summary of related work from other researchers and innovators to support the community overcome the virus. The motivation for the solution is highlighted under Problem statement shadowed by Proposed solution, Requirement elicitation, Implementation, Evaluation and discussions, and Conclusion.
