After countless hours of ideation, we decided to narrow down to two ideas. This is the first of them.
We wanted to create a way for individuals after an attack to talk to each other, give each other updates, and generally help each other on the road to recovery. From our interviews, many of the affected individuals felt lonely and scared after an attack. This affected their school/work performance in the following months and often led to depression. Our app was our initial solution.
There were several major issues with this as the communication of information directly after an attack could not be addressed. People would have to search and download the app during the attack to be of help at all. This idea eventually changed into a rehabilitation app. It was an important issue but we decided we wanted to solve the information disconnect problem and hopefully help individuals from feeling hopeless and alone as a result.
