Millennium Fellowship Project: Kshema
Kshema, is an app designed to ensure adherence to standard protocols meant to be followed during this pandemic. Led by Millennium Fellows Manasa S, Keerthana R and Aditi Shankar, this app offers a fun way to follow protocols, which also has an added benefit to keep people safe. Kshema was born out of pure concern to the society after witnessing the storm that is COVID-19. As of now, the platform is built to operate within the city, with the potential to expand, which can be used by a commoner to a person body politic. Presently, the management of the pandemic is in a top-down, whereas Kshema sets out to reach a higher success rate of compliance of SOPs by adopting a bottom-up approach.
Adherence to protocol presents the opportunity to earn points, which can be redeemed for incentives. Breaking protocol, identified by using a location-based algorithm, would result in a reduction in points. Along with gamifying the platform, it ensures that the user will be reminded of following it.
