Process
Research Phase
Secondary Research
As a global pandemic which necessitated medical, governmental, technological and societal interventions, it was imperative to firstly understand the spread of the Covid-19, suggested precautionary measures and the ones already implemented. This was done through in-depth literature review of WHO guidelines, news, government websites, digital articles and most importantly, the Indian Government's official app for contact tracing and self-assessment of Covid-19, Aarogya Setu so that in the long run, the suggested measures can work seamlessly with the existing ones.

Primary Research
A. Telephonic Interviews and Online Survey:
Through this, the viewpoints, concerns and technology adeptness of people from different ages, professions and economic backgrounds was pivotal in charting out the focus areas of the proposed system. We also connected with people working in industries to gain insights about the products used to maintain sanitation and social distancing.

B. Co-Creation Workshop
We conducted a co-creation workshop with people to brainstorm possible measures that can be taken to keep everyone safe. Then, a voting of popular ideas was done and the top voted ideas were categorised into 'Burning' and 'Simmering' categories. This was done to further incorporate the user perspective in our design solution.

To bring about a revised lifestyle due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was first important to look into the daily routines of people and understand possible scenarios of contracting the virus.
