uHelp: A boost to mutual aid social networks
A mobile application with AI technology for the creation of mutual aid communities. The digital platform allows the creation of a large social network that responds to the diverse needs of people for help, through parameters such as the level of trust and privacy.
- Market need
-
Nowadays, social networks are handy tools to connect people. However, social networks specifically dedicated to helping people effectively and safely are not so common.

Its efficiency lies in a flooding algorithm that allows asking for help considering the applicant's requirements of trust and friendship and finding volunteers in an automated way.
