My name is Milan Legát and I am setting up this campaign on behalf of a small start-up IT firm called Amitia that is implementing solutions based on artificial intelligence. Although, mobile app development is not our core business, we believe we can provide a solution that could help people to better protect themselves during the COVID-19 outbreak and public health officials, healthcare professionals and researchers to protect the population. We have started working on a solution in collaboration with researchers from the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic. They participate on a voluntarily basis in their free time.
The main purpose of the application is to track health related activities on a daily basis in an absolutely anonymous way. The mobile application focuses on helping its users to log the contact events with other people and assess the level of risk they may be exposed to.
Mostly in our free time and funded from the limited budget our start-up company has, we already developed a prototype of the mobile application that will shortly become available in Google Play store and Apple store. We focus on the algorithms and the functionality design while we have to pay for the mobile application development itself, because we do not have an expert developer in our group. So far, we have accumulated roughly 2.000 EUR cost. In order to complete all features that we have in mind, we will need to pay additional 5.000-6.000 EUR. We unfortunately cannot afford covering that amount from the company budget and our personal funds and we would therefore highly appreciate any financial help that could help us to cover at least partially the costs. As little amounts as 10 EUR really count for us!
We hate advertisements as much as you do and we therefore decided not to place any ads to the application and to rather try to raise some money from public via the crowdfunding campaign. If it happens that the app starts generating profit, we will start supporting different health oriented charities.
We think we can do it together and get over the difficult time by leveraging smart solutions based on algorithms that do exist!
Thank you very much for considering our case!
Milan
