Health & Hope App

Rare deseases cause terrible suffering to peoe all around the world. The way to fight this illnesses is by reserching. There is another way: we want to help people improve their health avoiding all those products that contain heavy metals that can be the cause of many rare deseases.

We are going to develop an app to scan every barcode of any product that can be food or chemical cleaners so that people can decide the healthier and, at the same time more respectful with our environment.

This is a global multilingual project that is going to be in English and Spanish in the first five years of the app. The app is going to have a very affordable price and 50% of the proceeds are going to be donated to research on rare deseases every year.

Everybody wants to have a healthier life. Our app is going to be a very easy to use tool that is going to help people decide the best products to eat or clean their homes.

Fully Working Ideas is an innovation company created with a global scope, focused in solving many problems and challenges that many times need other alternative solutions besides expensive research.

The team's leader is Juan Navidad, a person that has been durning more than 30 years creating innovative solutions for cultural, internet content projects and literary/publishing to cover in many cases a lot of individuals that have just a few resources to reach their projects and goals. During 5 years, for instance, between 2014 and 2018 he has organised more than 50 cultural events, most of them bilingual (in English and Spanish) not only in amazing places in Manhattan, like the Soanish Benevolent Society or MoMA but also very innovative communitiy garden events in Brooklyn or also in The Bronx.

The philosophy of FWI is always democratizing culture, knowledge, health, contents or opportunities because we all have the right to access it all no matter our race, status, credit, origin, etc.

We need to scale up to reach more people and the resources of the prize and/or the contacts we can make when we pitch it in NY can be fundamental for us.

I have many years collaborating with/supporting families with individuals and children with a rare desease. Some or them could not survive. They are the inspiration and the reason why we have created this solution.

The innovation of this project lies in its simplicity. It can provide information that can reduce significantly the amount of people who suffer a rare disease.

Besides, our solution is also environmentally friendly: if people decide to use less food and products with heavy metals, Nature will be benefited from these decisions.

Juan Navidad has been living in NY since 2009 to 2020. Now, in Spain things are quite different. It is very difficult to access to finance and resources. For this reason, for us would be very important to be in NY in September to have the opportunity to pitch this solution.

Our project has the potential of improving the health of millions of people around the world. If we can reach five years of operation the potential users of our app both in English and in Spanish are more than 1000 million people just in the American Continent and Spain. I think it is worthy to try this project and help so much people prevent themselves from suffering a rare disease.

In the future, we can partner with consultancy companies like Nielsen who can help us extend our data base of products and exponencially reduce the amount of people who skips from be patients  of a rare disease.

Our project has the potential to help benefit most of the 17 goals. For instance:

1.-NO POVERTY. A helthier society of healthy individuals is undobtely prone to have less poverty. 
2.-ZERO HUNGER. In a family when there is a parent or child with a rare disease it is possible to be closer to hunger.
3.-GOOD HEALTH AND WELL BEING. We are talking exactly about this. If our project improves this life is much better.
4.-QUALITY EDUCATION. A healthy child is going to be a better student. Let's start from health to reach all the rest.
6.-CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION. The use of heavy metals worsenes significantly the quality of our water.
8.-DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROUTH. A healthy society can have better workers with much better quality of life.
9.-INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRAESTRUCTURE. Our app moves companies toward more innovative and healthier products.
10.-REDUCE INEQUALITIES. If we are all healthy we can all enjoy life and acquire more freedom and equality.
11.-SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES. With less use of heavy metals our cities are also healthier.
12.-RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION: when our food and cleaners are better our consumption system improves.
13.-CLIMATE ACTION. Undoubtely a society with less heavy metals should have a better climate.
14.-LIFE BELLOW WATER. Under the seas and oceans life can improve with less heavy metals.
15.-LIFE ON LAND. Landscape and ecosystems improve when we use less poisoning chemistry.
17.-PARTNERTSHIPS FOR THE GOALS. This project can move many other companies towards a common goal: health for everyone.

It is a fact that most people do not know what they eat or the implications in the use of certain products that can affect their health and lives.

The first target that we have is increase the awareness.
The second is taking action and decissions that can help their lives.
The third is to create a community, this is, a group of people in many countries to help us gather all the information: barcodes and ingredients of all the products.
The fourth, last but not least is that we are going to give 50% of our income to research projects on rare disease.

Our app working process is quite simple nowadays.
Just using the cellhpones of the users they can scan to see the information we have gathered. In the event the product has not been included in our database the app asks the user to take a photo of the barcode and also another clear photo of the ingredients.
We process all the data and using scientific evidence the data give every product a degree of healthiness.

There is a CEO working full time and another 4 other people working part time.

Six months.

Our project, as all the previous that Juan Navidad has created in the past three decades is completely community oriented. With this app, we are providing education, information, awareness towards a healthier life.
