I called 800 numbers over last few days, connectivity rate < 3%, felt utterly helpless and saw friends and family losing loved ones... decided to work on alleviating the 'information chaos' with CovidSOS.online. #CovidIndia#VerifiedCovidResources
- We ingest data from various public data sources
- For someone in need, autodialer (thanks @airtelindia) attempts calling all relevant service providers
- Automated verification of service providers basis connected calls and IVR feedback
- Service providers’ numbers are masked
- They can activate or deactivate their availability
- Manual verification via volunteers is not required - this further decreases call congestion on service providers and allows needy to reach them faster
What we *really* need help with -
- The system is as good as the data it has
- If you're collating any sort of covid help/ suppliers' data, please share it with us on datateam@covidsos.online
- Please submit any leads (verified or unverified) here - bit.ly/covidSOS
Wouldn't have been possible without @garwanaveen, Yogesh, Vishal, Jigar, Ankit, Munna, Reddy, Kumar, Pramod, Amey, Shubham (goel, meena), Pawan, Prabhat, Aakash, Amogh and a bunch of other volunteers. Keep fighting!! Share feedback - feedback@covidsos.online
