The problem Refugee AID System solves

Our app helps refugee organizations efficiently and securely identify refugees who come to refugee camps in search of food and shelter. It helps officers easily take photos of incoming refugees, identify them or enter new user details, check their medical records and documents, note daily movement of refugees across various camps and request resources from nearby camps based on availability of resources. We harness the power of Deep Learning and Blockchain to provide both efficiency and security in the identification process.

Challenges we ran into

We faced issues in trying to effectively retrieve data from our blockchain and querying it against the inbuilt CNN, because of differing protocols for appending and querying refugees for each tool. Deciding the control flow and functionality of the app was also tough given the extremely short time available. Finally, learning to match every task to the right team member’s skillset was crucial to make the development experience smooth
