One-line solution summary.

Become Organized, Healthy, Relaxed, Calm, Refreshed, and Reduce Stress with The Healthy Schedule Robot.

Elevator pitch

What is your solution?

The Healthy Schedule Robot reminds you about every minor, but important event. These include waking up at 8 AM, what to have for breakfast, where a nice not-distracting place to study would be, how long you should study for, where to exercise, how long to exercise for, when and what to have for your meals, when to sleep, and much more.

This robot works pretty much like a human would, it has the senses to see, hear, and touch. With these abilities, it has the opportunity to communicate with you and can identify if you are sticking to the schedule, however, you also have the option to change the schedule, but it does have limits.

What specific problem are you trying to solve?

The problem that this robot can solve is that 3.5 billion people, also known as more than half of the world population, do not know what, when, and where to do things that could help their health. They do not have the resources, or the services, or the money, to be able to take care of their health.

In fact, 97% of Americans aren’t satisfied with their overall health, as they don’t bother to take care of their health, meaning less than 3% of Americans are living a healthy lifestyle.

Who does your solution serve? In what ways will the solution impact their lives?

This robot can serve the 3.5 billion people who are not able to take care of their health, due to not having access to necessary resources/services, or not being able to afford it, or not knowing exactly what you should do to improve your health.

Using this robot will allow you to stick to an organized and healthy schedule that can take care of your health in multiple ways:

Become Organized
Become Healthy
Become Relaxed
Become Calm
Become Refreshed
Reduce Stress

What steps have you taken to understand the needs of the population you want to serve?

I, myself have sometimes found myself not taking care of my own health. Just with the little unhealthy things here and there, not drinking enough water, sleeping too late, waking up too early, spending time on the screen too much, eating a lot of unhealthy food, which can all end up to cause a huge difference, which is what I learned overtime.

Along with this, I am also the founder of my own health organization, Healing Hearts, which empowers to spread awareness on Mental Health, to encourage people to not make the same mistake I did. This organization mainly takes place on instagram ( @the_healinghearts ), which is where I really came to understand how many people do need to start caring more about their health. On this platform, I have seen many times (with comments and DM’s) where people do appreciate how this organization is helping them in taking care of their health.

Which aspects of the Challenge does your solution most closely address?

Our solution's stage of development:

Concept: An idea being explored for its feasibility to build a product, service, or business model based on that idea

Explain why you selected this stage of development for your solution—in other words, what have you accomplished to date?

The Healthy Schedule Robot is only in the Concept Stage, as of now, because the materials are currently not accessible. However, even with only the stage of development being the concept, it still has had a lot of thought process into it, and could realistically become true.
