Problem Space

Over 3 billion people around the globe are quarantined. One of the problems we are encountering is the need for physical distancing which helps slow the curve. This can have a negative impact though on the health and well being of individuals.

While people can, of course, Google information, there isn’t a centralized place to find ways to make staying at home easier and more enjoyable for the vulnerable or people who are suffering from boredom and feeling powerless.

The Solution

A mobile app that provides a portal to various resources related to COVID-19 during quarantine time.

 

Q+ gives people a centralized point to find unique entertainment, positive news, health, and wellness activities all while encouraging people to stay inside. While doing this they will be earning points they can use to donate to a positive cause giving them a sense of empowerment. This will impact people in a number of ways.

​

Helping to reduce virus transmission, improving overall wellness, educating users, and empowering people to feel like they are making a difference.
