NASA Space Apps - epik

Latest Version: 12:39pm 4th May @doc 

Project description (On website) @doc 


Between 2005 and 2014, 1.7 billion people have been affected by natural disasters and 0.7 million people have been killed in these events. 70% of these deaths are caused by earthquakes and tsunamis. Even with the high quality data that organisations such as USGS provide, it is extremely challenging to predict and mitigate earthquakes and any delay can mean the difference between endangered lives and safety.

Epik empowers everyday heroes as an accessible emergency prep kit (device accompanied by an app) that allows individuals to engage in a 3-step process of Relay & Receive, Request and Respond. Combining crowdsourced information with official data, epik aids in the communication of potential disaster. Not only does epik inform those of danger, it also allows the injured to call for help meanwhile enabling nearby first responders to assist and support the pressure placed upon emergency services.

When Hurricane Sandy hit New York City, a member of our team rushed out to help and as a first responder, immediately recognised the challenge of their disaster relief efforts. Knocking on every door often proved fruitful but in cases where homes were empty, assistance could have been redirected elsewhere. This was even more evident when she came upon a family of six without food for four days and the area was without emergency services support for three days. 

Epik’s minimal design aids in accessibility with its small size and low energy requirements powered by watch batteries, kinetic or solar energy. The devices communicate through cellphone networks or low energy bluetooth relays deployed ahead of time to at-risk zones.

The data collected is made available by our API to the companion app and to emergency services that are integrated into the platform. Using the companion app, anyone can become a first responder and answer a request for help.

As a first responder for Hurricane Sandy, response time was vital when I went in search of those requiring immediate assistance and found it challenging to locate the most at-risk as emergency services hadn’t arrived for 3 days.
-1st responder experience
-Took 3 days to find family, they haven’t eaten in 4 days

STORY / TECH (Graphic)
Epik empowers individuals in 3 steps: 
  • RELAY & RECEIVE information that an event is occurring
  • REQUEST help from emergency services and local responders, through our API
  • RESPOND to the distress call and track where the closest request for help is coming from
Disaster strikes without warning BUT epiks can be deployed to high-risk zones and work off-grid.
3 STEPS story - feel it (mass alert after 5 kits), relay it (ok/not ok), request/response

TECH: 
  • Powered by Kinetic/ batteries / solar
  • communication protocol is either through cellphone networks or to low energy bluetooth relays (normal bluetooth would use too much energy for us)
  • our apis can be used both by individuals as well as sold to emergency services
- Flow chart/infographic/animation in background?

Script:
When Hurricane Sandy hit, we went in to survival mode. As a first responder, my instinct was to help people, so we went knocking on every door. I remember reaching a family of 6 who hadn’t eaten in 4 days.

REVISED SCRIPT 
NASA SpaceApps provided us an opportunity to create something that could potentially prevent the loss of life and alleviate damage left behind when disaster strikes. 

17 sec ver.
As a first responder for Hurricane Sandy, I’ve experienced the importance of response time in an emergency. In search of those requiring immediate assistance it was challenging to locate the most at-risk. Emergency services arrived to the scene after 3 days so our efforts were vital as families were without food, water and electricity for weeks.

As a first responder for Hurricane Sandy, response time was vital when I went in search of those requiring immediate assistance and found it challenging to locate the most at-risk as emergency services hadn’t arrived for 3 days.


Revised Script FULL: (Fyi @AmaHazel @Rubia S )
As a first responder for Hurricane Sandy, response time was vital when I went in search of those requiring immediate assistance and found it challenging to locate the most at-risk as emergency services hadn’t arrived for 3 days.

epik can prevent loss of life by empowering individuals in a 3-step interaction: 
  • RELAY & RECEIVE information about an event using either the local cellphone network or communicating to low energy bluetooth relays placed in the area
  • REQUEST help from emergency services and local responders, sending a request to our API
  • RESPOND to the distress call with the companion app or as part of an emergency service integrated with our APIs, allowing you to track where the closest request for help is coming from

Though disaster can strike without warning, epiks can be deployed to at-risk zones with notice.

With ep!k,  can:
  • RELAY that an event is occurring using either the local cellphone network or a low energy bluetooth based communication protocol,
  • REQUEST help by pressing this button, which will call the API and tell local responders that you’re in trapped or not well, and finally, if you have the app installed or you’re part of the local authorities connected to our APIs directly, you can:
  • RESPONSE (or RESPOND? 🤔 ) - which will direct you to a person in need and avoid having to knock on every door. This helps alleviate stress on the emergency services in any disaster such as Hurricane Sandy or the Nepal earthquake as well as empower the locals


Maybe end the video stating the current Australia event?
At the moment, there is a blue flag status in Australia - in the future, we could go in at that point to set up the ep!k to mitigate and improve response.


less than 10 seconds -> hurricane sandy
(open with the problem)
“took the emergency services 3 days” -> strong point
“found a family of 6 that haven’t eaten in 4 days” -> strong point
“NYC, imagine what is happening in 3rd world countries”

triangle:
  • top part is for requesting help
  • bottom left is for information
  • bottom right is for seeing the status of a request for help (white to amber)

@doc @Marius S - can you help me understand these details? this was on slide 4-6 on the presentation and it is confusing. do we need it all or can i just use something similar in the project description. #presentation 

Using historical data from the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT), we can distribute the ep!k devices in areas known to be high risk. The devices are connected to the cellphone grid or to local low-energy bluetooth relays.

Our servers offer an API to the crowdsourced data, allowing emergency services and first responders to assist those at the biggest risk.

@Marius S maybe better to somehow cut down what we said in project description which is below: 
Epik’s minimal design aids in accessibility with its small size and low energy requirements powered by watch batteries, kinetic or solar energy. The devices communicate through cellphone networks or low energy bluetooth relays deployed ahead of time to at-risk zones.
The data collected is made available by our API to the companion app and to emergency services that are integrated into the platform. Using the companion app, anyone can become a first responder and answer a request for help.

@Marius S how is this? do we have to add API?
Epik has low energy requirements powered by watch batteries, kinetic or solar energy; and communicates through cellphone networks or low energy bluetooth relays. Crowdsourced data combined with historical data, will allow for deployment to at-risk zones ahead of time.

  1. Local Support - I’m nearby and I can help. I can access the app to see where people need help. 

Considerations:
  • Press button
  • Vibration
  • Lights
  • Display or Just a Button


Problem:
What actually happens in an emergency?
-Collapsed structure,flooding, lawless, atampeds

Scenario:
Earthquake, 6 years old boy okay, dad’s missing, mum trapped in collapsed structure, she’s not okay.  WHAT’S NEXT?

Solutions:
  • Response: 
  • Individual: Boy trigger response
  • Collective: Bystander(s) trigger response
  • Trigger:
  • Everyone trigger to inform “Control Centre”
  • What it means to the “Control Centre”: 
  • After first 5, it will send a mass signal out
  • Then back to regular trigger (i.e. 1 click = ok, 2 clicks = not ok)
  • Emergency Services: Hospital, ambulance, police, fire department, first-aid, etc
  • Push notification

Requirement:
  • Simple features in a piece of tech
  • Access danger level
  • Integration element: App
  • Trigger/distress signal A→B
  • Responder signal B→A

This other reference is with AfterEffects software, meaning much more work, but it looks very professional. You can also buy pre-made ones (that you customize afterwards) at a digital market like the link below, worth researching

If you're looking for some free-royalty music to go with the video (only need to give credits)

Hi, just to make you aware. My phone is not working. Therefore, I am unable to access Slack. 

Also, I am confused why at the point of 80% of the project, we have moved over to slack, can someone please explain what features slack has which are different to Whatsapp and dropbox paper? 
I personally found using Dropbox paper helpful. So, moving over to Slack at this point when we need to reference what we are doing as we have now divorced the process from one platform to the other? How are we going to document this? 
The aim is to ensure we remain consistent, in regards to channels of communication and points of reference. 
Is there a function to download the content from Slack
Also is slack Encrypted? 

 #storyboard video
 Please see it by sparkol, or any player. If you have any advice how to make it more clear please write down a notes. I will not use that graphic which is in the uploaded video, i will make it simalar to our presentacion.
 
 Check out our winning project Ep!k
 
 Edited version of content which was written on the project page 

Ep!k is an emergency prep kit that informs crisis mapping crowdsourced data from individuals who become everyday heroes by relaying their status and empowering them to be first responders to those requesting help nearby while relieving the stress off emergency services. 

It is extremely challenging to predict and mitigate earthquakes and natural disasters; therefore, we are enriching existing USGS seismic data with localised real-time data with ep!k.

Feel free to edit as you please

Also, please can you confirm what time we are expecting Rubia’s content?
 
Morning, 

Below is the copy which will correspond with the flow chart, the chart will have associated numbers and the text will be at the footnotes for the reader to reference. 

Also I was looking through the orginal content. 

There a few questions surrounding the references and figures. 

I found a UN report - please  the below links this is where I have pulled information in regards to systems and figures 


https://www.unisdr.org/we/inform/publications/46796 (This document is where i have got the data and refs to lives and money) 

(CH - sorry can't comment on mobile, I only added the unisdr site, can u add the above two to the reference page - canva)

THE USGS (I think is the abbreviation which is on the Ep!k profile page, this needs to be changed to Emergency Events Data base (EM- DAT). Please ref to the page four on the pdf file in the second link. 

PLEASE NOTE alongside the three R’s we have come up with an acronym 
SID 
SAFE, INJURED, DANGER  (@vivan t this compliments our original idea of the 3 steps but the whole branding/ethos revolve around the 4R.  Pls Double check if it is confusing.  Basically if a child watch our 30 sec and don't get it, we failed.

These are clear calls for actions and can be easily linked to the three’ r’s (we have missed it out from the video, however it will come up in the flow chart - which will be completed late afternoon today 

Working alongside emergency services we will can pre categorise which incidents or injuries come under Safe, Injured or in Danger, this will inform the user in understanding which function they need to use to Relay they are safe, request assistance or await a response. 

The below text needs to be proof read, Ideally please use comments and so we can track changes. 

#newscipt written by Christine
@Rubia S @vivan t - brief glance seems like they changed from original, (i.e. The one I posted and added on the top). Pls update the website with the following text after review?  I think we should send it off to Ben, and cc the team (so whoever is free can tag team for response).

Between 1995 and 2015, EM-DAT recorded 6,457 weather-related disasters, which claimed a total of 606,000 lives and affected more than 4 billion people.


In 2015 EM- Data indicated 14 million people had been affected by weather-related disasters. It is extremely challenging to mitigate the impact of weather-related disasters have on residents.  One of the key findings in a The Human Cost of Weather-Related Disasters was 'Why do residents not evacuate in time, and how they interpret disaster warnings.’


Ep!K can assist with pre, during and post-storm(? disaster). With the use of Low energy Bluetooth devices, the EP!k devices act as a transmitter to feed crowd-sourced data to emergency services and the local community to aid in the preparations and handling of disasters 


Ep!k will empower individuals to become everyday heroes by relaying their status and enabling them to be first responders to those requesting assistance nearby.


When Hurricane Sandy hit New York, a member of Team Ep!k was a first responder. She knocked on every door to help. She recalls a family of six who had not eaten in three days. With Ep!k, those who need help can request and be matched with the closest first responder to assist them before pressured local emergency services can reach their location.


Ep!ks is a small device with minimal requirements in energy(can delete this part), powered by kinetic, perpetual, or solar energy. The device communicate via the cell phone network or low powered Bluetooth. The Ep!k Kit and system can be deployedahead of time in situations which have a status of a Blue Zone (Char - don't think “blue zone” is important, if u r going to add it here, explain it like readers don't know what it means.)


The data collected is made available to emergency services which are integrated into the database Using the companion application, we can feed pre-created content via the app, for offline consumption. (This function will only work when the app is downloaded offline) 


Information will include articles or videos on Basic First Aid on what to expect to during and after a disaster situation and how to articles. Via the Ep!k devices, anyone with a registered device can become a first responder, request assistance and support the emergency services. 


To some extent natural disaster can be predicted, allowing the affected area to be placed on high alert also known as Blue Alert, This is known as the Pre-Storm prep. 


For safety and hygiene reasons all Ep!k devices will be distributed sealed. If any of the seals are broken, the device will have to be discontinued. This precaution is for health and safety reasons and data protection reasons to ensure there is no information or diseases on the device which could potentially infect the new user.  


We will have additional devices for those who are colour blind or blind 

(CH - I thought that's why t vibrates? But like the mention of accessibility, this is humanity tech for sure)

Alongside Ep!k devices, we will also allocate beacons within the crisis zone area based on pre-existing post-disaster data obtained from the Emergency Events Database (EM-Data) and Disaster Information Management system. 


Ep!k will be deployed to the affected areas, volunteers and staff will set up epic devices and systems for the local community. Team Ep!k will work collaboratively alongside local, nation press, government agencies,  and social media networks to ensure as many people as possible are aware of the need to collect an Ep!k device. 


Each Ep!k device will have an associated barcode or Unique Identify code, which will hold the following information 


Date of Birth 

General Practioner details 

Passport Number 

Blood Type 

Pre assisting medical conditions 

Next of Kin 

Do they have any allergies? 

Do they have any disabilities? 

Do they have any distinctive marks such as tattoos and or birthmarks? 




During storm: 

When the natural disaster happens, the devices will be active by the user selecting the corresponding button to their current situation 


Under the following 

Relay 

Request 

Respond 


Alongside the system, we will distribute information on regard S.I.D 

S stands for Safe 

I stand for Injured 

D stands for Danger 


Working alongside emergency services we will pre categorise which incidents or injuries come under Safe, Injured or in Danger; this will inform the user in understanding which function they need to use Relay they are safe, request assistance or awaiting a response. 


Example: 


Jack's Profile: 


Jack is 29 he lives in Darwin Aus, and has average fitness; he has been trained in first aid while working in a local leisure centre


If Jack is unharmed by the storm, he will request Safe on the Ep!k device. If he has access to his phone, he will open the corresponding app. Jack has downloaded the application so that he can access the content offline. 


The system will then register he is safe. He has two options to either go to a safe point or assist the emergency services with dealing with those at risk. Assuming Jack has access to his phone and he has stated he can help others who have registered on the system they are in danger or are injured. 


The app will then direct Jack to the closest person. The App will ask Jack some questions, with either the use of real people in a chat based function or the use of Artificial Integeilnce the app will ask Jack some questions based on his arrival at the casualties destination. 


i.e 

Are they responding 

Are they trapped

Can you check their pulse 

Do they have a pulse 

Can you take a picture of their face, distinctive marks, and or injuries


Based on his response the app will inform him the Emergency services are on the way,  this scenario relies on the case of a casualty being in a critical state. 


On the arrival of the Emergency services, Jack can either chose to go with the victim or decide to go on and help others.
