WHO has outlined key actions for managing pandemics; testing, tracking, tracing, isolation and quarantine. Governments around the world are applying these key actions to cope with the spread of disease but appear to be inadequate with the scale of the outbreak. We as individuals can play a substantial role in combating this outbreak. With the help of modern technologies, we can realise these actions effectively.
Developing a tool targeted for government, authorities, communities, and individuals are all acceptable. Teams with the winning prototype will automatically get a āwildcardā placement in Sunway iLabās Super Accelerator program to realise the prototype at scale!
We understand that we all have different levels of skills and experience. We have teamed up with couple of experienced mentors to cater to participants of all skill and experience levels. Book your session with the mentors session agenda. Note that the agenda are still subject to change, and all the session are one to one.
