Inspiration

The idea for the GOVERN app came from noticing a gap between community members and local authorities. We wanted to create a platform that makes communication transparent, encourages inclusive decision-making, and builds stronger relationships between residents and community leaders. Our goal is to help build neighbourhoods where everyone's voice matters.

What it does

The GOVERN app is a platform for community engagement and empowerment. It offers:

  1. Community Leader Interaction: Residents can connect with community leaders, schedule meetings, and participate in decision-making.
  2. Business Development and Networking: Provides resources for business growth, networking events, and a directory of local businesses.
  3. Health and Safety Service Integration: Access to healthcare services, safety resources, and emergency contacts, including a clinic booking system.
  4. Educational Resources: A variety of educational materials and resources, organised by category.
  5. Real-time Chat: Allows real-time communication between community members and leaders.

How we built it

We used the following technology stack:

  • Front-end: React Native for mobile development, working on both Android and iOS devices.
  • Back-end: Node.js with Express for the server-side.
  • Database: MySQL for reliable data storage.
  • APIs: Integrated a clinic booking system API for healthcare appointments.

Challenges we ran into

Through teamwork and problem-solving, we overcome challenges.

What's next for Govern App

Our future plans include:

  • More Localised Services: Adding more local services and improving the user experience with AI-driven personalisation.
  • Video Conferencing: Enhancing community leader interaction with video conferencing capabilities.
  • Partnerships: Partnering with local businesses and institutions to provide exclusive resources and opportunities.
