Ignite session: COVID Helper
COVID-19 pandemic hit us hard during the winter season and caused many tragic outcomes. People were going through difficult situations without easy-to-read and helpful information in one place. During these challenging times, the online tool Covidhelper.sk, that was visited by 60 thousand people during the first month of its operation, was created to help. 92 percent of users rated the usefulness of this simple IT solution developed by 5 volunteers during their free time with 4 or 5 out of 5 stars. But the mission of CovidHelper is not over yet - 8 to 10 percent of patients who recovered from acute COVID-19 suffer from long-term consequences. For this group of people, we have developed a health management app offering tips, guidance on home excercie and community support.
