Competition Time: 24th of May – 23rd of July
mLearning. Come up with a plan how to provide education for app. 100 people living in
remote location with mobile technology. There is one landline Internet connection at the
location. Nearly everyone at the location has a simple mobile phone and there are good
mobile connections at the location. You have 2000 euro at your disposal to provide a
lasting solution to provide for people at the location. You can alternatively choose a real
remote location and come up with similar plan (2000 euro limit) to provide education with
the help of mobile devices.
mHealth. Come up with a plan how to provide health services for people living in remote
locations with mobile devices or with the help of mobile devices. You should also consider
ways how to raise awareness of health issues such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, diarrheal,
warnings about dangerous areas, spreading of diseases etc. can be shared with mobile
devices. Also consider, what sort of health services might be needed in remote locations
and can these needs be met with mHealth. You can take a real life, existing example of
mHealth from a location of your choice, analyze it and build your suggestion upon it.
mBanking. Choose a remote location/s where mBanking is used. Find out reasons why
mBanking is used, what needs the people have for mBanking and are they met and what
services are currently being provided. You can take a real life and existing example of
mBanking some where from the world, analyze it and build your suggestion upon it or you
can choose more locations and compare them. Come up with proposal where you
benchmark solutions, analyze the current needs at location/s you've chosen, provide a
solution how these needs could be better met and provide rationale why your solution is
transferable to other locations.
