Askco19.com: Spreading Information Faster than the Virus
Manage episode 261700295 series 2673736
Meet Dr. Ray and Dr. Roger Ng, two Physicians who taught themselves how to code as kids and co-founded Askco19.com -- an open-source communication tool for verified COVID-19 information.
On March 15th, 2020, my little sister, Dr. Aisha Khatib, sent me a Medium article about two physicians who were building an open-source not-for-profit app called Askco19.com. It was envisioned as a free tool to help verified physicians crowdsource and share real-time information about their experiences on the frontlines of COVID-19. What started as a grassroots project quickly grew to a volunteer group of 300+ talented coders, developers, marketers, and translators from around the globe -- many of which were GSH tech talent.
Listen to the second installment of “Adventures in Zebra Hunting” to hear more about the work of these two incredible physicians-turned-entrepreneurs, the process of developing AskCo19, and GSH’s contributions as part of the Project K(in)d #1BInKind Challenge.
