How can crowdsourcing aid in battling the COVID-19 pandemic?

What is Crowdsourcing?

Crowdsourcing is a distributed online problem-solving and innovative sourcing paradigm where participants of online communities collaborate to accomplish a common objective (Vermicelli et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2022). It supplements conventional data gathering by collecting massive amounts of data and information from individuals worldwide.

Crowdsourcing Initiatives for COVID-19 Pandemic

Crowdfight

An endeavour spearheaded by the scientific community with the intention of mobilizing all accessible resources to combat the COVID-19 pandemic (Vermicelli et al., 2020). It is designed for COVID-19 researchers who wish to submit a brief description of their inquiries or projects. The request may involve anything from a straightforward but time-consuming task (e.g., data transcription) to the resolution of a technical inquiry that exceeds their area of expertise or the establishment of a collaborative relationship. Further, another scientist within the community will try to comprehend and fulfill the demand.

COVID Near You

Created by Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital, which allows individuals to report symptoms in real-time by ZIP code (Zhang et al., 2022). Using crowdsourced data, it maps existing and future pandemic areas to help local, online communities and public health organizations track disease progression. Public reporting of COVID-19 signs may supplement public health monitoring and assist people in determining where symptoms are happening in their community (Fliesler, 2020).

Open Innovability - Call4Ideas COVID-19 Challenge

The crowdsourcing platform Open Innovability by Enel hosts the Call4Ideas COVID-19 Challenge, launched by Marzotto Venture Accelerator and Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome (Vermicelli et al., 2020, p. 186). This is an open invitation to everyone within the online communities who has innovative projects or ideas that could potentially turned into an entrepreneurial endeavour to assist the Italian system in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. This challenge encompasses various areas, including medical and personal protective equipment, telemedicine and home care, diagnostics, therapy and post-therapy.

Types of Crowdsourcing

While there are four main types of crowdsourcing, this blog will specifically delve into one of them, which is crowdfunding (Cricelli et al., 2021).

Crowdfunding: Soliciting financial contributions and investments for charitable endeavours, initiatives, and entrepreneurial ventures, without the intention of providing monetary returns to the contributors (SendPulse, 2023).

Crowdfunding Campaigns for COVID-19

MaybankHeart-MERCY

The objective of the campaign was to generate financial resources for Mercy Malaysia's COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan which offers crucial assistance to Malaysia's healthcare system by providing medical supplies and other vital necessities (Maybank, 2020). Additionally, it aims to support frontliners and volunteers, who are actively combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, it would furnish vital provisions and support to marginalized factions within the community, guaranteeing their access to aid throughout the MCO. In only two weeks, Maybank and Mercy Malaysia received almost RM300,000 for their ‘COVID-19 Pandemic Fund’ after public support. Donations are processed via the online banking platform Maybank2u.

Asnaf Care

Lembaga Zakat Negeri Kedah (LZNK) developed Asnaf Care, a virtual crowdfunding platform that was introduced on March 26, 2020, to raise money for asnaf (have-nots Muslim) in Negeri Kedah who suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 18 March 2020, Asnaf Care has asked the local and online communities to help distribute food to individuals experiencing food shortages under the Restriction Movement Order (Eldersevi & Muhammad, 2021).

Crowdsourcing Initiatives to Combat Infodemic during COVID-19 Pandemic

The proliferation of misinformation persisted without restraint on publicly accessible social media platforms such as Facebook. In Malaysia, Facebook, and Twitter have spread the misleading concepts that alkaline foods may treat COVID-19 (Yang, 2021). In response to the difficulties posed by the infodemic, crowdsourcing endeavours have prioritized the development of websites containing reliable data and information about COVID-19, with the backing of established fact-checking efforts.

CoronaTracker.com

CoronaTracker.com was established in late January 2020, during a period when widespread reports of COVID-19 compelled communities to attempt in comprehending the situation (Yang, 2021). Malaysian data scientist utilized LinkedIn, Facebook, and Telegram to recruit individuals from online communities to cooperate on pandemic remedies, receiving responses from across the globe. The site shows worldwide COVID-19 outbreak statistics, including reported cases, recovery, and fatalities in impacted nations.

KawalCOVID19

KawalCOVID19 is another crowdsourcing initiative that adopts data-centric methodologies to provide precise and reliable information about COVID-19 in Indonesia (Yang, 2021). Its webpage has current information on confirmed cases, medication, recovery, and mortality. Notably, KawalCOVID19 reviews its portal content with medical community including doctors, virologists and epidemiologists to assure accuracy. Moreover, KawalCOVID19 provides links access to the authoritative sites of World Health Organization and official Indonesian government site. In an effort to counteract falsehoods associated with the pandemic, KawalCOVID19 and the Indonesian Anti-Slander Community (Mafindo) collectively gathered deceptive information from unidentified volunteers to verify its accuracy.

In conclusion, crowdsourcing has been shown to be a crucial asset in combating COVID-19 in physical and online communities, providing a wide range of viable alternatives. It facilitates the accumulation of real-time information and the development of innovative approaches by enabling global community collaboration through online crowdsourcing initiatives such as Crowdfight, COVID Near You and Open Innovability. Additionally, the ability of crowdfunding initiatives such as MaybankHeart-MERCY and Asnaf Care to amass financial backing for COVID-19 is underscored. Concurrently, crowdsourcing effectively negates misinformation through the provision of accurate information within online communities, as exemplified by initiatives such as KawalCOVID19 and CoronaTracker.com. Fundamentally, crowdsourcing manifests itself as a complex entity, capitalizing on collaborative endeavours to efficiently address the obstacles posed by COVID-19.

Teliti Kes 28 Sekeluarga Miskin Tinggal Serumah | Informasi Hokaloh News

ALOR SETAR – Kerajaan Kedah akan meneliti kes Terima Kasih Kerana Membaca 🙂 28 orang daripada sebuah keluarga tinggal yang di dalam sebuah rumah usang di Lorong Gedebang di sini sebelum menentukan jenis bantuan yang akan diberikan.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Wanita, Kebajikan dan Pembasmian Kemiskinan negeri, Halimaton Shaadiah Saad berkata beliau akan mengadakan perbincangan bersama Lembaga Zakat Negeri Kedah (LZNK) dan Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM) negeri mengenai kes itu.

“Kes ini telah banyak kali ditularkan di laman sosial. Saya dimaklumkan bahawa keluarga ini menerima bantuan zakat sebanyak RM600 sebulan, jadi kita tidak boleh buat keputusan sekarang kerana kena tengok semua aspek dahulu.

“Mengenai rumah baharu untuk keluarga ini, kita akan berbincang dengan Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Penerangan, Kesihatan dan Pembangunan Luar Bandar negeri Datuk Dr Ismail Salleh. Mungkin kita akan beri rumah transit untuk mereka duduk sementara di Flat Seri Gemilang,” katanya selepas mengadakan lawatan ke rumah tersebut bersama pihak LZNK dan JKM negeri.

Pada 25 Julai lalu, Bernama melaporkan seorang warga emas Ishak Darus, 75, tinggal bersama isterinya Jamaliah Rejab, 56, selain 10 anak, seorang menantu dan 15 cucu di rumah usang di Lorong Gedebang di sini kerana tidak mampu menyewa di tempat lain akibat kemiskinan.

Keluarga itu terpaksa duduk berhimpit-himpit di dalam rumah yang lantainya hanya beralaskan tikar getah selain dinding kayu sudah reput dimakan anai-anai dan sebahagian bumbung zinknya dari hadapan hingga ke belakang juga berkarat serta berlubang. – BERNAMA

Penjawat awam diminta bayar zakat melalui potongan gaji

ALOR SETAR, 18 Syawal 1438H, Rabu – Semua penjawat awam termasuk guru diminta membayar zakat menerusi kaedah potongan gaji melalui agensi atau jabatan.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Lembaga Zakat Negeri Kedah (LZNK), Zakaria Othman berkata, kaedah itu secara tidak langsung akan memberi manfaat kepada institusi tempat mereka berkhidmat, berbanding membayar zakat secara bersendirian.

“Semalam kami ada dedahkan sebanyak 44 peratus kakitangan Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri (JPN) serta guru di negeri ini gagal membayar zakat.

“Hasil perjumpaan dengan JPN, kita dapati majoriti daripada peratusan ini membayar zakat secara sendirian di kaunter-kaunter zakat di daerah masing-masing,” katanya, pada sidang media, selepas Majlis Menandatangani IBR LZNK bersama SPRM Kedah.

Beliau turut menegaskan data yang didedahkan oleh pihaknya, semalam adalah berdasarkan rekod kutipan mereka.

“Apabila saya umumkan 44 peratus warga pendidik di seluruh Kedah belum menjelaskan zakat kepada LZNK bukan maksudnya mereka tidak bayar zakat tetapi tiada dalam rekod bayaran daripada agensi mereka berkhidmat,” katanya.

Sehubungan itu, Zakaria menyarankan semua penjawat awam termasuk guru supaya membayar zakat melalui kaedah potongan gaji yang disediakan di tempat kerja.

“Sekiranya penjawat awam membayar zakat melalui institusi mereka, sebahagian daripada bayaran akan dipulangkan untuk manfaat agensi itu,” katanya.
