Problem

According to a meta-analysis study by the British Medical Journal, only 68.4% of the population is willing to receive COVID-19 vaccination globally. That is a low figure considering vaccines can eradicate diseases and save lives. There are 2 major reasons behind this.

Firstly, people living in majorly unvaccinated areas, tend to never get the vaccine as they are not pushed by their neighbors or feel pressure from those around them.

Secondly, people who aren't aware of the correct facts regarding vaccines and immunization often believe in misinformation and myths. This leads to them repelling the COVID-19 vaccination.

Solution

A mobile app that incentivizes the process of getting people to take the vaccine. The app will provide users with redeemable credits if they can get someone from nearby unvaccinated areas to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

The app will show nearby locations and statistics regarding vaccination rates. The user can then choose to go to one of these locations and help someone over there. Once they've decided to help get vaccinated, the user can upload their vaccination certificate to earn redeemable credits.

Business Plan

The app will make money through the following streams:

1. Affiliate Commission - There would be a shop inside the app where the user can purchase slots for different vaccines. We plan to tie up with these different vaccine manufacturing companies to get us affiliate commission if someone purchases their product through our platform.
2. Ads - We as developers don't like ads and know that they sometimes ruin the user experience, although we also know that earning regular revenue for our business model is important. Hence, ads would be placed in the app if our revenue from affiliate commissions falls short.

Lasting Impact

An app like ours would lead a lot of people who were earlier reluctant to get vaccinated to go out and get their doses. As the vaccination rates increase in districts and cities soon there would be a stage of herd immunity which would mean that enough people are vaccinated for the disease to have less effect on those with lesser immunity eventually leading to the culmination of the disease in that area.

If we get our app to a significant userbase, we can continue using the verification and navigation features of the app for vaccines related to other diseases or viruses.

Flow of the app

1. Onboarding screens contain brief instructions and features regarding the functionality of the app to give an idea to the user of how the process works.
2. The login screen provides an option to sign in via a google account
3. New users are asked for their location permission and based on their location the user is asked to enter details of their country-specific identity proof which in our case is Aadhar Card.
4. The home page displays a banner on the top with a prompt to start locating as it is the initial step of the process. It also contains banners and cards for various tabs of the app so that the user can quickly navigate across them.
5. The bottom navbar display the 4 main tabs for the app: Home, Location, Verify, Shop
