Who are you serving?

Social conflicts like racism, oppression, and violence exist across cultures. Yet to date, there have been no concerted efforts to explore and visually represent the psychological and cognitive underpinnings of these conflicts.If we capture unique mental and behavioral profiles of communities, then we can design better interventions for social wellbeing, conflict prevention, and mental health. Fundamentally, our brains affect our societies, and the health of our societies affects the health of our brains. For example, neuroscience literature indicates that dehumanization, bias, and empathy gaps increase the likelihood of conflict, and on the other hand, trauma, stress, and conflict subsequently affect information processing, memory, and inter-group cognition and perception. People are affected with social media. We are offering to share individuals positive stories of general people. This individual will motivate and can change the mindset of people. Our vision is through this platform, citizens of Bangladesh; especially youth will find inspiration from the success stories & achievements of Bangladesh Government. In order to create value assets that brand Bangladesh with pride and support the 2021 vision for Bangladesh. Users will contribute this because their will be reward options depending on their stories and connectivity to the positive vibe.

What is your solution?

A nation branding campaign aimed at western brands and consumers, rooted in the positive values Bangladesh would be known for globally, will deliver the promise for decades to come. Yes, innovation and leadership will have to be strategist, created and delivered. You need to deliver the promise. But the gains are not limited only to competing on price. The practice of Nation Branding aims to measure, build and manage the reputation of countries. Nation Branding means the creation of the applications of corporate marketing concepts and techniques in the interest of enhancing the countries' reputation on the global stage, and thereby raising the awareness of the country among potential future business partners globally. This is also referred to as the country-of-origin effect. Innovation is the process of translating an idea or invention into a good, or service, which creates value, or for which the consumers will pay. In the business world, often innovation occurs when ideas are applied by a company in order to further satisfy the needs and expectations of its customers. Leadership, on the other hand, sets the direction and elevates the leader and others to develop a business, service, or good. To succeed, leaders create an inspiring vision, motivating and inspiring internal teams to reach that vision which impacts external customers to purchase the goods.

More about your solution

Describe what makes your solution innovative.

While there has been tremendous innovation in portable and deployable technology for capturing neural, cognitive, and physiological data over the past decade, most of these technologies are either exclusively utilized in lab settings, or are utilized in the context of response measurements. Very little has been done to leverage such technologies as predictive measures of conflict, and furthermore, this technology has not yet influenced the humanitarian or development sectors. Bangladesh is positioned as developing country and in developing country many issue is created and many times government being unable to provide support to people. We are creating this options to make the people aware about the opportunities and become more aware about their living place, about their happiness, mental health, government positive works, individual successes and know about more of Bangladesh. This culture will create using technology to practice in society and help to people peace with good mental health. Using technology and real-time data drive we make a unique solution that will create the culture of positiveness.

Why do you expect your solution to address the problem?

Technology is only a part of the puzzle in developing robust, accurate, and actionable psychological profile. The production of these data driven deep consultation with local communities and experts in those contexts, in addition to technical and academic expertise in the brain and behavioral sciences. Conflict dynamics and neural processes, to a certain extent, are culturally-influenced, so communities in the developing world must be brought into the process of designing and brainstorming indicators to capture data that predicts and maps conflict drivers. The solution comes with different type of events, grooming and consulting with the general people. Awareness to the people about their mental health and keep it good according to their mental health. In Bangladesh women are victim of various social issue that are not be there and they also dont know about the mental health issue. The process of this create some output using activities and then outcome the positive thinking culture will be practice.
