Work in Progress
The topics to work on are constantly added on www.codevscovid19.org to avoid duplicates and to enhance efficiency during the hackathon. Topics are about novel public information and rescue systems, methods of infection detection and tools for medical support, logistics and operations, distancing and e-learning tools to facilitate social interactions.
The results of #CodeVsCovid19 are dozens of open-source prototypes, developed online within 72-hours, starting on 27 March, 5 pm CET. The prototypes and solutions provide innovative approaches for the most pressing health, social and economic challenges of the current coronavirus crisis and beyond. They aim to make the lives of any affected parties easier, prevent further damage and manage the current challenging situation. Solutions will be awarded and published online to be further developed and implemented thereafter. Further editions of #CodeVsCovid19 will constantly follow if needed.
