With the onset of the vaccination drive in India, the Government of India has taken a very decisive action of centralising Covid-19 vaccination through the Co-Win portal.
However, being an online service, it is still is out of reach of millions of people who do not have stable internet connection. We aim to build a tool that empowers the common man to book vaccination slots without internet connectivity.
-
Soch will bring this population of decentralised offline users to the Co-Win system, to help gauge the reach of the vaccination drive and to regulate the industry to make sure that the common populace doesn't need to resort to black marketers.
-
Soch will employ good data practices to make sure sensitive data sent via the solution aren't open to exploitation.
-
Soch can be used to make intelligent contact tracing apps and SOS services in the time of this dire pandemic.
