22 days have passed. Days filled with fear, anxiety and stress. Since the first days of corona outbreak, everyone took dire measures to beat “corona”. 

In this movement, the Vice-Presidency cooperated with several knowledge-based companies and startups to come to the field with “Iranian” products by relying on the innovation and creativity of human resources.

The movement of “we will beat coronavirus” is an act performed in this area, which was started by the knowledge-based economy and culture-building technologies development headquarter to accelerate the pace of role-players in the innovation and technology ecosystem.

Given the fact the distributing accurate information about the disease plays a pivotal role in its prevention, developing the app of “health ambassadors” was an act carried out in line with this movement to benefit from the potentials of the startup ecosystem and increase public awareness regarding how to fight the coronavirus.

Therefore, the app teaches all you need to know about the virus. In addition, the latest status of the disease outbreak in the country and the world is shown in the app. Of course, the latest treatments in and outside Iran, startups and service businesses in these critical situations, information on dedicated treatment centers, education for students and parents, and many other credentials are also available.

It also facilitates communication between people, organizations, and businesses, and through this app, businesses can introduce their services in critical situations for public use.
