Saving lives daily through the simple chain of whatsApp.
New Delhi 25th May 2021, With the current situation and the overtake of the CoronaVirus, resources are scarce and phones have been unanswered. People tried their best to find ICU beds, oxygen tanks and plasma donors, but their search didnโt end. The social media community was very helpful in the spreading of donors and Covid helplines, but most of these numbers were old, wrong or in the worst case, out of stock.
Since verification of leads was the problem, Ramakrishna R, CTO & Co-Founder of CureSkin, reached out to other companies who had created bots to help them find verified leads. Shikar Agarwal, the Co-founder of an ambulance aggregator startup called HelpNow, gave their companyโs Whatโs app number for use. The bot was developed over the weekend and was able to start with a whopping 25,000 leads in the system. At the same time, Ramakrishna was helping the Sheroes team with volunteer management, so when he asked if theyโd like to be a part of the HelpNow Bot initiative, many of them came on board. Not only do they work on Whatโs App, but theyโve also created a Twitter bot extension, so all the leads posted in the system will go live on Twitter at the same time, on this link: https://twitter.com/helpnowbot
If you require Covid resources and are feeling overwhelmed by the numbers you see or canโt get a hold of verified sources, this is what you can do. Type out your request along with the number of the supplier and send it to 8899889952 via Whatโs App, and you will get the latest information about the supplier. Additionally, you can use this link to try a sample number: https://wa.me/918899889952?text=latest%20info%20about%206204867980
Right now, as the cases begin to climb each day, the number of volunteers is also increasing, the numbers that need verifying are not going to stop and neither will the team of HelpNow Bot. They are sourcing leads from multiple channels and adding a feature to the bot so that suppliers, hospitals and pharmacies can share their latest information through the bot itself.
Doctors and frontline workers are fighting the battle for us at home, but shouldnโt forget the countless Covid warriors like the team of HelpNow Bot, who are doing their best to help us fight this battle. If you require any Covid resources, Whatโs App your request to HelpNow Bot and save a life. These are times we need to stand by each other, by restoring people's faith in humanity.
