Household Health Service

A service providing a set of tools to reduce the risk of novel infections

Many flatsharers have a fear that if one of them falls ill, there is no way to avoid all of them getting infected. We have also heard stories of struggles of misaligned hygiene practises and clashing ways of coping in this new way of living.

The conflicts the situation has caused are not supported by any authority.
It’s not like you can call the police when your flatmate goes to a party during lockdown, or can you?

Agreement and a good dynamic at home are also a part of good health. One might be scared of getting sick, and another crave time with their friends. The vision of this project is to increase the safety in shared homes to reduce infections and people moving out of their homes out of fear.

Concept

The concept would allow shared homes to agree on methods for living safely together
during times of infections that don’t (yet) have a cure. Almost like a fire alarm protects the safety of a home from fire, we are imagining tools that protect the residents from infections.

We are focusing on 3 aspects that are crucial:

1) Health emergency preparedness

2) Infection prevention methods

3) Agreement on common behaviours

Call for prototyping

We have developed some ideas of what the tools could look like, and we would now like to
think about what you, as a flatsharer, would find valuable.

We would like to invite you to participate! This should take 20 minutes.
