We Estonians don’t know how to just stay still and do nothing in the midst of the crisis - we act and we hack! Together with Accelerate Estonia and with the big help from the community people, we put together an online hackathon in record time to tackle the Coronavirus pandemic crisis and emerge from the crisis stronger than ever. With just 6 hours we managed to put the event together, get 96 ideas, 860+ people in the event Slack and by now, we have amazing 30 teams working!
1. SafeHouse

3. COVID19 Assessment Bot (CureAssist)
A mobile application which: 1) empowers the users to self assess using a symptom checker bot & access credible information regarding medical establishments, care providers, statistics, precautions, do's & don't's & advisories 2) logs in the geo-coordinates of the user showcasing positive symptoms and presents a visual map of the places visited & people contacted in the last 14 days (heat map of sorts). This enables the authorities to zero-in on the probable cases and allocates the manpower accordingly 3) incorporates a telemedicine platform that can be used by the care providers to interact with the patients remotely.
A data-driven app that takes data from symptom logging and wearable devices to deliver timely health insights for users to monitor their risk and recovery.

6. Share Force One
Share Force One is a B2B platform for companies in need of workforce and companies whose workforce doesn’t have any job opportunities left.
In collaboration with the Health Board, we’ve made an online test based on their assessment criteria and a Cambridge research paper. The test gives people an insight into their state of health and offers them a course of action, depending on the severity of their symptoms. We give them the same guidelines and information they would get from calling the hotline, to prevent people from flooding the lines (and calling 1220).
An application using crowdsourced data from media reports and Terviseamet press releases to clearly visualize and show the spread of the disease over time as well as the number of tests conducted.
9. Agile Employment Contract Act
The existing Employment Contract Act holds back the opportunities of modern working methods like remote working which is very important in the current situation and makes decisions that could be done by the employee, for example, decide when their work is most efficient and how to arrange their responsibilities between home and work.
10. Remote work transition for corporates
Traditional coaching is a powerful tool that supports the change. Our micro-coaching solution goes above and beyond by (a) making coaching scalable and affordable, and (b) allowing everyone to be aware of what’s going on in the company through knowledge sharing and data collection. And all this was made possible by utilizing both human-led coachings via text or chat and AI chatbot tech.

The requests are posted to volunteers who have signed up in the app. Volunteers will be able to see all tasks for their area and pick the ones that suit them the best.

We also calculate the risk score for different areas in a city or even in a whole country. We are using fully anonymous data and we compress the location data so it will be fast to query while still being within 10m of accuracy. Furthermore, we enable full up-to-date information management and enable critical pieces of information from the government to be delivered to the user through push notifications.
28. Supervaisor
29. CoronaLog
CoronaLog offers a free platform where people can log interactions to increase proactive response in communicating with potentially infected interactions to increase awareness of spread and encourage self-isolation. This will help to flatten the curve through reducing your risk of spreading the virus to people unknown as it will provide clear communication to those who may need to self-isolate.
30. VidED
All schools around Estonia are in quarantine. The educational process has to inevitably be continued. For the majority of teachers, it turns out very complicated to conserve the quality of delivered education while using web services such as Skype, Zoom, Messenger or similar solutions. All this creates a real challenge for already overwhelmed teachers.
From physical products to various platforms, teams have less than 24 hours left to develop their ideas. Five best ones are selected this Sunday at 6 PM to continue under AccelerateEstonia's supportive wing. We wish the teams all the best and good luck in developing their prototypes over the course of this weekend with the help of our amazing mentors!
Join the public Slack group for general discussions and updates on the ideas as they grow into working prototypes.
