Partnership with the United Nations[edit]
Aerolab partnered up with the United Nations in 2020 to update the website of the Technology Access Partnership (TAP) with clearer information to users who need support accessing essential COVID-19 technologies. Aerolab provided key technical assistance in a pro bono work during the website review, helping develop the design of the interface and enhance the experience of TAP website users[5].
"Scaling up production of essential COVID-19 technologies can only be done through a diverse network of global stakeholders and TAP is grateful for the time, commitment and energy invested by innovative partners such as Aerolab", says the United Nations TAP News site[6].
A website to register power cuts[edit]
In 2013, in view of the large number of power cuts registered in Argentina; Aerolab created the site acanohayluz.com.ar with an interactive map to see in real time the neighbourhoods in the City of Buenos Aires that were affected by power cuts[7].
The reports were done by people themselves. They got into the site, completed their address and marked with a colored button what was the status of power service in their zone: green (if there was power), yellow (if there was a cut only in their block) or red (if there was a cut in several blocks around)[8].
Open source web apps[edit]
During the pandemic in April 2020, the Aerolab team developed Barbijos Azules, a web app that connects volunteers with older adults and people considered at risk to help them buy their food or walk their pets during the quarantine by the COVID-19 in the city of Buenos Aires[9].
This application pointed to help 490,000 adults over 70 years of age in the city of Buenos Aires, has no profit motive. "Everything we do is open source and free. Our goal is to bring this tool to anyone in the world so that any country or city can use it", explained Agustin Linenberg, one of the Co-Founders of Aerolab[10].
In September 2020, Aerolab released Lullaby[11], a free open source web app to treat Tinnitus, a medical condition were you have a constant high-pitched ringing in the ears. Roberto Gonzalez, CTO and Co-Founder of Aerolab, suffers from Tinnitus and after many unsuccessful medical treatments, he analyzed medical papers on the subject and created the app to diagnose and create personalized treatments for Tinnitus, based on the best techniques currently available[12]
