The following documents were submitted as part of the #versusvirus hackathon deliverables:
PowerPoint- Presentation
Corona Reduit Whitepaper
We have been working on enhancing the white paper with additional sections and research. We will share the updated version on this page as soon as it’s ready.
As part of the #versusvirus Hackathon deliverables, we have created a prototype for the registration of risk persons (demand) and hotels (supply). The focus was on the demonstration of functionalities, aesthetics is deemed secondary at the current stage.
Design principles applied were:
Lowest possible access barriers for seniors and digital newbies (font size, intuitive menus, simple structure)
A friendly, positive atmosphere
Keeping distractions to a minimum
The following screens illustrate how the user requirements for a risk group person may be satisfied. Interact with the prototype below by clicking on one available link per page.
User Requirements
User requirements were defined as follows
As a hotel owner, I would like to be able to:
Register my hotel by creating an account
Apply for hygiene training and certification by a local health authority
Manage room availability in my hotel
Accept / reject applications

As an admin, I would like to be able to:
View dashboards on reduit usage and availability for reporting
(Nice to have) Perform bulk registration on behalf of hotels
(Nice to have) Perform bulk application on behalf of risk group persons
As risk group person, I would like to be able to:
Get an overview of the concept (FAQ, Video, terms and conditions, reduit contract etc).
Fill out a survey to identify accommodation category (reduit / pre-reduit quarantine / barrier-free)
Questions to ask in a survey?
Do you live alone? (if not pre-reduit)
Do you have household members who does not work from home?
Do you have household members who recently travelled in high-risk countries?
Have you felt sick in the last two weeks?
Have you been to a hospital / outpatient clinic in the last week?

Select a mode of transportation to travel to the reduit
Search for possible accommodations based on location and date
Filter list of locations based on the certain criteria
Maximum Altitude
Accessible Bedroom
Accessible Bathroom
Garden
Prepared meals
Common kitchen
Restaurant
Apply for an accommodation for myself by entering details
Basic – name, birthday, gender, address, height and weight
Identification – swiss ID no or residence permit, health insurance
Health – GP name, existing conditions (multiple choice)
Partner’s name – name of legal partner to share the reduit
As a system, I would like to be able to:
Assess the suitability for participation based on BMI and pre-existing conditions.
Due to time constraints, the realization of the prototype was limited to the pages related to the user requirements of a risk person.
The Swiss government defines the risk group as people over the age of 65 and those with underlying medical conditions such as the following:
Cancer
Cardiovascular disease
Chronic respiratory diseases
Conditions and therapies that weaken the immune system
Diabetes
High blood pressure
Additionally, we found that obesity (BMI > 30) is associated with the development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) , a phenomenon of lung failure which occurs in severely affected Covid-19 patients.
Click the blue button with the title Age distribution of deaths with Covid-19 on the dashboards above to see that most deaths occur in age group 70 and above.
