# Overview

LIFE - a Swasth alliance, open source project has partnered with various initiatives and alliances to solve challenging problem statements around COVID-19.

LIFE (a Swasth initiative), CRIA and other partner initiatives/alliances are working together to build an **ecosystem of smaller taskforce teams**/projects working on independent problem statements. Some of these problem statements are towards - Database aggregation, Content support, On-ground relief efforts, Telemedicine, Technology solutions (citizen and B2B matching) etc.&#x20;

The objective of this umbrella initiative is to bring about coordination and consolidation within and between large-scale high-impact initiatives that can make a difference.&#x20;

# Covid Relief India Alliance

CRIA - Covid Relief India Alliance is a COVID volunteer coalition to integrate covid relief resources database initiatives into one backend API that can power frontends.

## What do we do?

We directly partner with initiatives based on the kind of project they are working on. Our primary focus is on ensuring that we enable an ecosystem of database-related initiatives. We envision a world where verified information sitting on one database is made use of by every other platform providing help. By [joining](https://forms.gle/zAx3G4bdDT2XGCD16) the alliance you ensure that a larger number of people are benefitted by getting access to your verified data across multiple platforms through our integrated [API ](https://life-api.coronasafe.network/)project.&#x20;

## Projects or themes within CRIA

1. Integration of **databases** into one
2. Oxygen **centre** pilot in Bangalore
3. Demand supply prediction, **matching** model
4. Tertiary **support** - procurement, logistics, funding
5. Technology innovations through an **open-source** community
6. **Content** oriented efforts to guide citizens, initiatives, caregivers, volunteers

## Our ecosystem

We aim to build a **universe** of grassroots organisations, NGOs, citizens that are providing Covid Relief and empower them to sustain, amplify and accelerate their efficiency. By using the force of consolidation we aim to remove redundancies, silos that exist in our covid relief efforts.&#x20;

# Value proposition

Build the most valuable enriched open-source database that is accessible across initiatives and channels (website, bot, apps). Help people get right data at the right time, anywhere (across channels).

### **Value proposition for the initiatives that onboard the integrated database efforts:**

**Help reaches far and wide:** Your data gets linked to the [API ](https://life-api.coronasafe.network/)being used by many initiatives to display covid related resources to their reach. You get an opportunity to pass on the knowledge of your verified leads to someone who wouldn't have been able to otherwise.&#x20;

**Access user feedback:** With the help of our frontend feedback systems we will be able to give you specific data on which information has been reported by the public, which contact has been downvoted significantly as not helpful. You could then get your volunteers to check, remove, or update the same.&#x20;

**Access the wider pool of database:** You can use our API to integrate other verified data into your website, bot, google sheet etc. This way you can provide a larger database to your team.

**Database generation:** Once we allocate a particular database division to you (for example - Oxygen+Bangalore) in case we come across relevant information from any other database, we pass on the data to you regularly to add to your database. You could use it as a raw lead, which could then be verified. This will be absorbed by the API and will be shown on the website.&#x20;

**Volunteer-Ops automation:** We could provide you with several options to automate your internal verification operations. Instead of having to give access to your entire database to a large number of volunteers for volunteers. We could provide you support in the form of an app that will absorb your data and give only unverified leads to volunteers to verify in a self-assist, self-serve manner. You can then have as many volunteers using that app to reduce your backlog of unverified leads.&#x20;

**Access resources to support:** We could connect you to volunteer providers, fundraising organisations, tech resources, marketing and amplification opportunities and any other support as and when you may need from us.&#x20;

**Inter-initiative learning curve:** Coordination between initiatives will help us learn from each others' experiences. What is working out where. We could use the network to innovate and come together in a better manner, instead of working in silos. To facilitate better exchange of information.&#x20;

**Cheerleaders for your cause:** Our community of folks from all around the world, reputed organisation are proud of the work you have achieved so far. We will be your biggest cheerleaders and advocates. We will connect you to anyone who is looking out for a similar initiative that may help them.&#x20;

# Ongoing projects


# Demand-supply

A number of volunteers (product, software, management backgrounds) are trying to build a model to predict how Oxygen demand will shape. When supplies improve, they wish to be able to help agencies distribute to the correct places, logistics issue as you might imagine. There is a model they are trying to build but too many unknown variables/uncertainties.

We are trying to build a model to predict demands on covid relief resources in coming days. Whenever supply side opens up (it will), we need a good way to distribute the supply to fulfil the demand. Here are the resources we should predict demand for: Oxygen cylinders, Oxygen refillers.&#x20;

## Supply-side bot

To get direct updates from suppliers on the availability of resources like medicines, oxygen, hospital beds etc.&#x20;

## Action plan (evolving)

* These predictions can be made at various zoom levels: Country  , States  , Districts  , Ward  , Hospitals / care centers.
* Build what if scenarios based on next few weeks and make recommendations&#x20;

  * What if some districts, state manage to curb covid outbreak&#x20;
  * What if one hospital doesn't have medical staff any more&#x20;
  * What if covid spread increases&#x20;
  * What if +ve diagnosis to hospitalisation ratio changes&#x20;
  * What if lockdown happens partially?&#x20;
  * What if virus transmission rate changes?&#x20;
  * What if quarantine rate changes?&#x20;
  * Impact of vaccination (reducing or increasing) spread.&#x20;

## Immediate goals

* Estimate total Oxygen supply needed for Bangalore based on current data (no forecasting)&#x20;
* Ward / hospital wide distribution of Oxygen when supply is available

## Model

Excel [model ](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tI4j2jnoprMfPn1vg66mN4CEpVv-hFNLR1kX0XMB7ZI/edit#gid=1130088558)made so far

## Demand data sources

Supply data sources:

## What we need:&#x20;

1. Data Science folks: Relevant forecasting/demand prediction experience could be immensely valuable. We can share whatever data points we have. But most people in this sub probably already know what this entails.

# How you can get started

Everything you need to know to get started on the integration of database with ours.

## Do not know anything about us?

Apply [here ](https://forms.gle/zAx3G4bdDT2XGCD16)to join the alliance. Onboarding and Outreach team led by Dr. Pallabi and Aditya Shetty would help you to get an overview.&#x20;

As part of the Onboarding team, we reach out to partners (local, national volunteer groups) who have expressed interest to work with us. Our job is to connect with these people and integrate their database of suppliers of covid relief.

We have two kinds of leads, 1. Partners who filled the [form ](https://forms.gle/zAx3G4bdDT2XGCD16)& 2. Partners we need to reach out to. We start with 1, and then go on 2. Currently, due to the influx of interest, we are only reaching out to partners who have filled out our [form](https://forms.gle/zAx3G4bdDT2XGCD16).&#x20;

## After onboarding

Data and Coordination team will help you to understand the process of migration into the system. There are several steps, we need to convert the format of your google sheet into ours, to enable seamless integration with other sheets and the [API](https://life-api.coronasafe.network/). Ashiya Ghosh from our team is the right person for this. &#x20;

# LIFE - Database

LIFE is a swasth alliance bringing together intitiatives in data, technology and reach to build and provide an open source solution to solve the information crisis in India.

[LIFE ](http://liferesources.in/)majorly aims to **provide information** on **where to go, who to call** and **what to do** in *any stage of the covid crisis situation* you are in. Instead of building a 1-on-1 system of taking requests, we want to be able to build a **reliable** source of information you could **trust**. It is this sense of trust that we work with while dealing with our partners, alliances and volunteers. Come join this network of trust that we are building.

We believe in **open-source** and collaborative **volunteer-driven** efforts. Our **community** is open to any and everyone who wishes to contribute. LIFE was a merger of **Coronasafe**, **CovidFYI** into the **Swasth** alliance to use synergies and focus on smaller taskforces for each workstream.&#x20;

Aggregation across initiatives is happening through the **CIRA - Covid India Relief Alliance** founded by startup founders looking to combine strong forces to join hands. We are working as one team with several overlaps in projects, connecting people and organisations. Major reputed MNCs, Consulting, Startups, Covid relief organisations are directly a part of the network. We have been working on this since Mar-20, thus we are well connected to the entire ecosystem.&#x20;

## Are you official?&#x20;

No.

## What are your sources? How is the data gathered for this project?

We are collaborating actively with multiple database initiatives to obtain the best quality data. We also obtain significant data from crowdsourced channels like - forms submitted by viewers, twitter data, database submitted by independent organisations etc. Partner initiatives engaged in similar list creation have merged efforts with us to share their verified information.

The data is validated by a group of volunteers and published into an [API](https://life-api.coronasafe.network/). [API ](https://life-api.coronasafe.network/)is available for all. We work in the spirit of Open-Source.

## Where can I find the data for this?

All the data is available through an[ API](https://life-api.coronasafe.network/). Do file an issue at [Github](https://github.com/coronasafe/life/) if you have feedbacks / want to report a bug.

## Who are you?&#x20;

We are a group of dedicated volunteers who collaborate across initiatives to aggregate data with equal partnership. We empower the regional and niche initiatives who are doing a great job at creating, maintaining, verifying data. This is a cross initiative team that came together with one goal to create a unified database of highest quality to provide help to the BEST of our capabilities in such hard-times. If we are able to reduce the time taken to find a bed, oxygen, or any other support, if we are able to save lives and empower those who are on-ground trying to arrange resources to help others, our motive would be served. &#x20;

## What we do not do?

1. **Plasma donor list:** We never collect or expose any personally identifiable data regarding the patients.
2. **Requests management:** We do not do 1-on-1 handling of cases.&#x20;
3. **Profit or revenue generation**: We are an open-source volunteer-driven initiative. We operate entirely out of credits bestowed by generous organisations. No money is taken by us or our representative.&#x20;
4. **Endorsements:** We like to stay independent. Thus we avoid endorsing a particular product, initiative. Only to be fair to the 10s of initiative who are a part of our alliance network. We love all our partners.

## How often do you verify your information?&#x20;

We verify information periodically, however, due to the size of data, please accept our apologies in case you do not find what you were looking for. We will continue to add, verify, clean the data. Since we are only as good as the data hope we are able to save lives. Look forward to your support. Thanks to everyone, wouldn't have been possible without you all.

## Why are you guys putting in time and resources to do this while not gaining a single penny from it?&#x20;

We believe in the true spirit of collaboration, crowdsourcing, the democratization of data, and volunteering. Please support us to save lives! Join us.

* [ ] Make column names same as fields mentioned in Data structure ^^ (Best would be to work on copies of the sample google [sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I_V1K4pEoz1omlMaYC7tZScMYMlGAYBXzVpuvspws7E/edit#gid=0))&#x20;
* [ ] Paste relevant data from excel to relevant columns on google sheet&#x20;
* [ ] Check if any data from excel is missing to be put on existing columns&#x20;
* [ ] Do this in the end as this might take time - \
  Standardise certain fields as mentioned in choice type. \
  It should only have text that is mentioned on format sheet. \
  Eg. Ensure that all mandatory fields are filled. No blank. \
  The final sheet will only have one column (district). It will automatically pick up the state from there.\
  Make it a choice/lookup column. And add the district list from the format, in another tab in your google sheet. Such that, no one is able to choose anything else on the google sheet except the list of names mentioned on the district. Do not worry about it being correct or perfect, we can improve it with time

Commonly asked questions:

#### Each row has 2 states and 2 cities (A,B and H,I) which one to actually use? We have city name in all the rows not districts.&#x20;

Ans: We just want a district name.. Use all the 3 to guide you.We need to convert it to districts. Upto u how u wanna do it, when u wanna do it..

#### even though quantity available is a required field, it wont apply to plasma.&#x20;

Ans: Leave qty available blank;&#x20;

**An additional column POC is mentioned in the raw data. Should I be mentioning it?**&#x20;

Ans : Not needed. You can ignore the data

Data Onboarding SPOC works on the following problem statement:&#x20;

1. Can we make the district, state information - all in one sheet? So that volunteers can just add that page on their sheet, and do a look up or choice formula to just pick up district.
2. Some districts are absent from that sheet - Ahmedabad
3. Can you make it - a formula kind of sheet, that users can just copy and put it in their sub sheet. They will just have to link the district column. The data is already there on the district sheet.
4. Some districts are in 2 states. Since we will only have district column, it makes sense to write Bilaspur (CG) and Bilaspur (HP) as the district name. These need changes in the format sheet.
5. Need to change categories of verification status to - Available and verified, Unavailable but verified, Invalid, Unresponsive, Pending. And this needs to change to Choice instead of a string.
6. Also some are PAN India resources so district would be? Pan India data - for that just make a note of it and keep the district blank. instead of making a different sheet for pan India data - let us add one more option in district called "National'. Which will automatically know that this is national. Then district column will show national. And we can pick from the same linked-lookup list, don't have to do anything extraordinary here.
7. Pranshu: can u add your hospital and oxy sheet above to help ppl see the right way to do things?
8. some doctors are giving statewide teleconsultations, I'll keep the district column empty for them

More such feedbacks I ll keep posting on the excel and here as comments. I hope it reaches to the owners of that sheet and they resolve it (or ppl with edit access). Without this, it will confuse the people who are collating and other initiatives in future)

Can you ensure these feedbacks are incorporated on the google sheet and above - Life general structure are guidance (documented there?)

# LIFELINE - Content

> "We are fighting a bigger crisis than this Pandemic. It is called Info-demic"

## What is this?

An **SOP FAQ** of sorts to **guide** patients, attendants and family members on **what to do at the time of crisis in all possible situations -** is needed much more than ever. This will be in the form of blogs, infographic, videos etc. primarily displayed on Liferesources.in in the open-source [content ](http://docs.liferesources.in/)page. It could be used by anyone by ensuring proper credits. &#x20;

## Why is this needed?

I lead efforts at [liferesources.in](http://liferesources.in) where we provide contacts for oxygen, beds, plasma, doctor consultation, counselling, food, stay, helpline, etc. However, *even that is not helping at the time of crisis*. I am getting frantic calls of people looking for beds for their father, relative, friend, son...

> It is disheartening to not be able to help even when you are sitting on a database of 10,000+ contacts.

Inviting **public health professionals**, **social workers**, **individual volunteers**, **celebrities**, **content folks**, **researchers, administration folks** to write on this database to guide people.

## Operating model:

We are operating out of a whatsapp group, started by startupsvscovid. We have revived it for this initiative. If you are (or know someone) doing something similar on creating FAQs/SOPs for people to find the best way to get help, please connect them to us (or vice versa). This content is open source and can be used with permission and credits. We are partnering with Swasth's internal content team to work together on this. We are looking for similar initiatives to merge efforts and build a Wikipedia or University for all things Covid.&#x20;

## How to join the team?

To **join and be a volunteer** - simply join our slack and enter the #coronasafe-life-sop channel to get involved.&#x20;

## Future plans

This content would be provided to all the covidrelief sites to display on their site alongside contacts to guide a patient better.🙏 We will then take help of design and content teams to disseminate the information.

> let us all combine our experiences to write - what is working best, in this chaos. How were you able to arrange for beds, oxygen etc.

## Roadmap for the future

Our step by step roadmap/Action plan

* \[ ] Compile existing content resources from credible places - Medanta, Aiims, ICMR, MCI, Other bodies
* \[ ] Curate content to mix government, private and qualified opinions at one place to give to people credible information on what we know already
* \[ ] Dissemination strategy to rural India by using our contacts - Kisaan morcha, NGO, Crowdera, Sattva after language translation
* \[ ] Public focused webinars, youtube videos
* \[ ] Add these content to all the covid relief websites that are a part of [liferesources.in](http://liferesources.in) alliance

# Capacity building

Whatsapp group of StartupsVsCovid-19

This is a group of folks working on oo and associated infrastructure for tackling the current Covid-19 situation.&#x20;

In case you have a product, design or prototype: Please use this [form ](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScTFzA74uOdQ7JDtKE8r4RNwsz3ysuAScBy8JtPfP6Ic9z2Hw/viewform)to seek support for at scale design & development of Equipment / Devices or Other critical care needs for COVID 19 (Although not mandatory: Our preference is to scale products already having some presence in the market). In case you're looking for any assistance (logistics, regulatory approvals, funds).&#x20;

Some products:&#x20;

1. Oxygen based mechanical ventilator - a breathing assistant device Maltesh S and Aequs Aerospace. Ideal for people with SpO2 in the range of 80-95, who need oxygen but not really intubation. This will free up ventilators for those who really need it. Priced at Rs.10,000. NGOs like Rotary international have been also involved to distribute this to Tier II / III locations where ventilators don't exist


# Overseas effort

Sequoia - Shailendra singh looking for foreign suppliers of oxygen concentrators to import\
Delhivery - Chartering planes from China to import (can be contacted for utilisation of spare space)
