ABOUT THE PROJECT
In accordance with Ireland’s Covid-19 restrictions we are all doing our bit to reduce the number of cases by staying at home, leaving only for groceries or to collect medicine.
But what about the more vulnerable members of society? People-at-risk who may live alone and cannot leave to get these essential items?
As part of the Covid-19 2 day innovation challenge at Verizon Connect my team looked to address this issue. We developed "Neighbourhug" a simple app that connects those who need help with those that want to help. The app allows those who may live alone or cannot leave their home to request help for specific needs like groceries or medicine from volunteers within the mandated 2km radius of their location.
USER FLOW
We created a user flow diagram to map both the volunteer and vulnerable user interactions required to achieve their goals.
