The Mobile App ‘Prevention is Greater than Cure’ P>C was developed by team Legogoa consisting of Venkatesh Dempo and Sai Pranav Gandhi. Its was submitted to the MIT App Inventor Hackathon 2020
In the fight against COVID 19, keeping ourselves healthy and increasing our immunity is the only way to protect ourselves. WELLNESS in Physical, Mental, and Spiritual terms is essential. The statement ‘Prevention is better than Cure’ is so perfect. So we created a unique and innovative concept ‘Wellness quotient’.This app motivates the user to improve his Wellness Quotient through the use of various features in the app like exercises, walking, talking to friends, staying positive, eating healthy etc. Each of these features has been assigned a score and the app calculates the Wellness Quotient based on the scores obtained on each of the features. The user is prompted to improve his Wellness Quotient. And improvement in Wellness Score means improvement in general health leading to better Immunity.

Based on the MIT App Inventor Hackathon 2020 contest themes we selected
Theme: Healthcare
Prevention is Greater than Cure (P>C)
We Sai Pranav Gandhi and Venkatesh Dempo, studying in 5th standard in Sharada Mandir School, Goa, India. Our team is LEGOGOA.
We had a brainstorming session with our family members and friends and opted for the theme of Health Care. Currently making ourselves healthy and increasing our immunity is the best way to fight against COVID 19.
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease. To increase our immunity we have to be healthy at Physical, Mental, and Spiritual levels. It is termed as WELLNESS. There is a popular saying ‘Prevention is better than Cure’ so we decided to work on these concepts.
We listed down the factors of wellness and then discussed at achieving them with a Mobile app
We then prioritized each of these solutions based on its importance and doability
We then worked on the design of the app and how we could combine the features on to have a simple and easy to use interface
The unique and innovative part of this app is that we created a Wellness quotient based on the three pillars of health i.e., Physical, Mental and spiritual components.
All the features and activities in this app are designed towards arriving at a Wellness Quotient and the improvement of this quotient is the task assigned to the user. If you notice this Wellness Quotient scoring sheet all the three pillars are balanced
Now let us look at the features of this app
