Make healthy alternatives accesible and appealing to the young population by creating engagement through local communities and democratizing the opportunity to thrive

Complex issues require multi-factorial solutions.

Thus, improving mental fitness in the general population requires a systems-based approach and will only be solved if everyone participates.

This platform could enable connection and empowerment generating a collective action and a greater impact. 

We will be addressing:

1. People (mostly young) to actively participate in building healthier communities by promoting social activities that avoid sedentarism and binge eating/drinking. This will also allow them to be una state of mind and health that calls for emotional expression and mental disorders prevention. Communicating internal emotions and affective states, and sharing it with other people of your age, is really important and helpful for mental fitness.

Stigma-free culture will be highly emphasized in this project, as we are all human beings after all. Suffering in silence doesn't help. 

2. Change makers working towards the same goal will be connected to catalyze their efforts. 

Multi-sector partners working to make the healthy choice the easy choice will be united and aligned to have a grater impact on society, which will be the ultimate goal for all partners involved. 

This strategy can be applied worldwide by implementing the approach while building local communities working towards this goal.

Currently, there is a lot of pressure imposed by social media writhin the young population,which is increasing the prevalence of insecurities and reduced mental fitness. 

Simultaneously, there are more and more people working towards making healthy choices accesible by sharing their own journeys and personal achievements. This is generating an excessive amount of information (disinformation) that is very difficult to interpret and apply appropriately without a scientific, critical thinking approach, which is not common within the target population.

it is well known that cooperation and joining forces to work towards a same goal implies achieving a greater impact and making more efficient and powerful changes. It is a reality that being conscious about our lifestyle and the impact that it has in our health is getting more and more common, so having the possibility to unite all this well-intentioned movement could actually make a real difference by boosting the positive aspects and minimizing the negative ones. 

using Mobile app platform and digital systems to identify and build local communities working towards the same goal in order to maximize their efforts and make it easier for the general population to get updated rigorous tips and directions  for a healthier lifestyle.

this solution is mainly centered in involving all the people as part of a community so that they can feel they are members of something big and meaningful for their personal development. It will be very specific to generate positive experiences and avoid people feeling embarrassed to express themselves. A healthy lifestyle implies being comfortable and able to verbalize your emotions. 

a simple, efficient platform will be available for all communities that join the initiative. A cost-effective membership fee will be applied for participants.

we have been thinking about this as a side project to submit a solution to this challenge, so currently all the members in our team have other businesses for financial sustain while this solution is scaled. Team is currently composed by two engineers and a pharmacist. 

it is a very ambitious and challenging project than involves collaboration and partnerships over which we don't have full control of. It is highly dependent on collaborative action. 

I consider myself an inconformist, curious and ethusiastic girl. I highly believe that joining all the little positive actions and convening outstanding people that are willing to change things, it is possible to actually have an impact if you put the amount of work and effort required. This is easier if you manage to create a great team working towards and specific goal with no further interests than pursuing whatever is that you believe in. That way, you will put so much love and hard work into your project that success will come as a natural consequence. 

I had a bunch of unconnected ideas towards this goal, and I decided to ask for help to some more analytical-minded people: civil engineers and mathematicians. So together we have build this still very basic plan, but with a clear idea behind. 

To the best of my knowledge , there wouldn't be any direct competitors
