Pandemic Footprint

Innovative response

We believe that right now, the behavior of everyone is more important than ever before. Therefore, our goal is to raise awareness on this global pandemic and educate people on how to act properly/socially. The Pandemic Footprint is a behavioural self-assessment tool that calculates a value between 1-1000.

Specific issues addressed and anticipated impact

Our initial idea to start the project came when we saw hundreds of people sitting next to each other in a park, on a sunny day in our hometown of Stuttgart, Germany, even though the gouverment had previously asked people to stay isolated and separated from other people as much as possible.
