On June 17th, there will be an additional opportunity to get to know the 11 runner-up teams and their innovative proposals. We are inviting our partner network and leading development stakeholders to connect with us during a virtual pitch event.
These are the projects participating in the event:
Project 1
Smart Care Corona Response in Eastern European countries and African countries
Region: Albania, Kosovo, Ethiopia, South Africa, Ghana, Tanzania, Nigeria
The Smart Care Corona Response (SCCR) is an open, interoperable COVID-19 probability assessment, monitoring and analytics platform. It tracks and thereby contains the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, it includes a Self-Sovereign Health passport.
Project 2
Partnership to develop the AI solution in Albania and Balkans
Region: Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia (formerly Macedonia), Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Care4covid.ai is an artificial intelligence tool that enables rapid first analysis of X-rays based on AI to provide decision support. Running an X-ray image through care4covid.ai supports fast and economic identification of suspected COVID-19 cases and helps with a fast diagnosis.
Project 5
Providing vocational training through remote learning
Region: Bangladesh, Myanmar
The solution will offer a cloud-based platform with digital tools that enables teachers to produce TVET e-learning, and students to get access to digital training courses. It will both be able to offer an immediate response, but also build a solution that lasts for many years after the pandemic, hereby strengthening the nexus between humanitarian response and sustainable development. It also comes in an offline version to be used in areas without Internet coverage.
Project 6
Insight Driven Response&Recovery
Region: Africa (regional)
This solution is focused on the problem of highly fragmented and decentralized data and systems across countries, agencies and donors. It is based on three modules: The first module is designed to deliver Outbreak Insights based on ‘Data4Development’. The second module, Response & Recovery Action is designed to ensure compliant, effective and efficient interventions. The third module, Impact Assessment focuses on compliance and lessons learnt, closing the feedback loop between action taken and impact on stakeholders.
Project 7
Covid-19 post-quarantine emotional support for indigenous children and adolescents in Guatemala
Region: Guatemala
The burden on children in rural areas is multiplied as domestic abuse and exploitation are common. Together with Plan International, the Triumf Health evidence-based digital therapeutics platform for children provides age-appropriate support during the crisis and beyond. This digital tool provides mental health services to areas, where they are not accessible.
Project 8
“Podcasts For Education” in Tunisia by Rayhana Association
Region: Tunesia
The solution is a combination of “no-tech and low-tech” and will produce podcasts, videos and educational games that are aligned with the national school curriculum. It will create an interactive platform based on existing solutions. That platform will host all the content as an interactive repository. It can be accessed freely by children and their parents even under low bandwidth conditions.
Project 10
