As a part of university course we received a task to design a service to Finnish eHealth project. One topic that was raised a lot during the course was loneliness. We decided to innovate something that would help reducing it. Through the research that included health care professionals, people from volunteering organisations and people from the target group (mostly elderly) we found out that volunteering is an efficient way to fight loneliness. Moreover, we found out that main treshold that keeps people from volunteering is lack of knowledge and training. People think that volunteering is too time consuming and that it requires long term commitment.
DoGood is here to solve that by bringing the knowledge to one place. Organisations can publish their volunteering opportunities and volunteers can easily see the tasks and required time. The emphasis is on the elderly as they are the group most likely to experience loneliness.
