Film your elevator pitch.

What specific problem are you solving?

As infections grow globally, a big section of asymptomatic COVID-19 patients will need to be managed with efficient self-quarantine protocols to free up hospital capacity. Government and health authorities need a reliable platform to track, locate and engage with self-quarantined patients in real-time in order to ensure effective quarantine.

Post the immediate crisis phase, as global travel start limping back to normal, there will be increased quarantine procedures at borders,port of entry. Simple, reliable ad easy-to-use self quarantine management systems will be critical to ensure cross border travel can commence sooner.

What is your solution?

Using Bluetooth (BLE) devices couple with Smart phone application, government authorities can quickly deploy an effective self-quarantine protocol that can be monitored remotely in real time. Using the meTrack platform, all aspects of patient engagement, management and reporting can be performed seamlessly at enterprise scale.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?

Effective self-quarantine will ensure that only critical patients are sent to hospitals for treatment and ensure bed availability. Similarly, self-quarantine will be a critical element of all future cross border travel in the short-term.
By leveraging meTrack platform governments can effectively perform elf-quarantine along with some level of oversight on the quarantined patients. The platform provides easy-to-use IoT hardware along with personalized communication channels for quarantined patients to ensure that they continue to received critical support during the self-quarantine period.
The collective features of meTrack will make self-quarantine a seamless experience for patients, without compromising patient care as well as government oversight.

Explain how the problem, your solution, and your solution’s target population relate to the Challenge.

Self-quarantine will become a new normal in the short-term future while the COVID-19 crisis phases out. However the self-quarantine process will be relatively new to whole segment of the target population.

Corona being a global pandemic, the target population is diverse. Hence a cost-effective and reliable technology platform that can serve these diverse target population is essential
The meTrack solution hence leverages cheap, reliable technology that (most) people have ready access to (like Bluetooth + Smart Phone + Internet) along with a enterprise IoT platform that can process data at scale for the benefit of providing effective self-quarantine globally.
