What we plan to talk about
1Minutes
Dhaka Metropolitan Police has installed some state of the art intelligent camera and devices for tracking the vehicle and monitoring traffic at the end part of Dhaka metro area.
Now they want good solutions that can use those content.
• Inform citizens the status of the traffic jam
• Provide custom media reports • Receive and update situation reports
from crowdsourced platforms • Any other innovative solutions
Traffic Jam
2Minutes
To resolve Exam question paper leaks we rely on the honesty and judgment of individual people to disseminate the question papers and that in itself bears the key to the problem
The Education Board wants a solution where using technology this problem can be resolved
• QR code based encoding• Mobile monitoring and verification system
• Enhanced security solutions • Crowd-sourced whistle-blower solutions
• The solution needs to be practical and easy to implement in a national scale.

There are cyclone shelters all over the country with cyclone center management system. They also have a central damage & loss assessment system.Now they need a mobile, swift and easy to use system to complement their existing systems.
• Easier to update, user friendly mobile solution
• Support dissemination of early warning
• Coordination of resource mobilization

91% of the girls aged 10-18 years have experienced sexual harassment. Studies show that due to social oppression and
fear of retaliation the reported number is far less than the real number.
We need a solution where victims of sexual harassment can safely report the crimes
committed against them.

networks• Crowd sourced complain system • Awareness for violence against
women
Sexual
Harassment

• NCD Risk Tracking
Rise of
Non-Communicable
Diseases

Corruption is rampant in public procurement, in tax and customs collection and in regulatory authorities. Awards of public and private tenders are frequently marred by corruption allegations.
• Crowd-sourced solutions • Beyond the scope of whistle blowing • Can bring in the culprits under proper

Mentor Roles
Innovation without Barrier
Limit Nothing
“Meaningful” App
“Usable” App
(Modular for Extensibility)
Keeping the End User In Perspective Always
Information is Dynamic- Option for User Generation- Option for Other Data Integration

Questions to AskNational Mobile App Development Awareness and Capacity Building Program
National Hackathon
Questions to Ask
Paint me the Picture…..
What prompted you to…..
Let me share a Data Point….. Did I just see….
Walk through as you are the end user of the App, Describe don’t Prescribe
5MinutesLook for the WOW Factor!!
What Not To SayNational Mobile App Development Awareness and Capacity Building Program
National Hackathon
What not to Say
I don’t think….. If you do this way…
What I am looking for is….. In my experience ….
You are looking for extensibility at scale & looking at the functions and visuals, Guide don’t Tell
5Minutes
ExerciseClarify the Problem Statement

National Hackathon
Problem Statement
You are looking for extensibility at scale & looking at the functions and visuals, Guide don’t Tell
Walk through as you are the end user of the App, Describe don’t Prescribe
You have seen and know the problem statement. Each team will rewrite ONLY the
Problem Statement. 5
Minutes
ExerciseConstraints and Limits
National Mobile App Development Awareness and Capacity Building Program
National Hackathon
Constraints & Limits
Let’s put Constraints and Limits what you have for the solution. (Only the MUST ones).
Examples: 1) The solution must work with current and previous versions of
Android (3.2)2) This must provide user to send data anonymously but with GPS
location and mobile number3) Must store data in a backend database
CONSIDER PHASE APPROACH FOR VARIOUS SOLUTON COMPONENTS
5Minutes
ExerciseMust Resolve Issues
National Mobile App Development Awareness and Capacity Building Program
National Hackathon
Must Resolve Issues
Let’s clearly define what they must resolve for in the solution. (Only the MUST ones).
Examples: 1) The solution must collect data from DMP traffic database and
display in small phone with overlay of the map2) Must provide Single action (click/touch) transfer of phone number
and GPS data to Backend Database and Receive Callback.3) Must have online-offline capabilities4) Must use hands-free gestures/voice based actions 5
Minutes
ExerciseNice to Have Resolutions
National Mobile App Development Awareness and Capacity Building Program
National Hackathon
Nice to Have
Here you can provide some your PERSONAL or OPTIONAL elements (These are optional, but highly encouraged/carry
points).Examples: 1) It is nice to have streaming video from the phone; it is nice to have
periodic picture taken and stored in a backend database2) It is nice to have YouTube videos for health related topic3) We like to see that we can have pattern matching of photos4) We like to correlate the location data for pervious crimes
5Minutes
ExerciseTechnology Limitation
National Mobile App Development Awareness and Capacity Building Program
National Hackathon
Technology Limitation
Let’s clearly define what technology limitation they potentially could have and be aware of
Examples: 1) The backend data is not currently available2) Consider the server is in the cloud, so, internet access needs for
this app3) Only login using facebook is permitted4) Data will be posted in facebook with everyone to view
5Minutes
ExercisePotential Solution
National Mobile App Development Awareness and Capacity Building Program
National Hackathon
Potential solution
Let’s create between 1 and 2 solution(s) for the problemExamples: 1) An app will be using Android phone, allows user to send an
emergency text using hand gesture with validation; reduce falls negative and positive by also sending phone number, GPS location, instant photo of the location. Keep sending photos using camera every 5 minutes without user interaction. User can stop the process at any time. Data is sent directly to the nearest police station and DMP central dispatch. All data is stored in a backend database for future forensic and data intelligence.
