Students from the Law Institute of Tomsk State University (TSU) have created a Telegram bot called SafePoint, which combines information for actions in emergency situations, including shelter maps, emergency service contacts, and first aid instructions. The project took first place at the All-Russian LegalTech Hackathon in Kaliningrad.
The SafePoint chatbot was created as part of the \"LegalTech: Prevention of Extremism and Terrorism in the Youth Environment\" hackathon, held at the I. Kant BFU with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation and legal companies. The Red Flag team, which included TSU students Bogdan Yaroslavtsev, Yana Novikova, Vera Tumanova, and representatives from the Herzen RSPU and USLU, developed the bot on the Botman.one platform. It provides data on the location of shelters, hospitals, police stations, as well as algorithms for actions during an air raid, terrorist attacks, and for providing psychological support. The information is based on data from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations and verified medical sources.
The project was highly appreciated for its practical significance. So far, the bot only covers the Kursk region, but the team plans to expand its geography. The development was carried out in a short time, which limited the scale of the maps, explained Bogdan Yaroslavtsev.
This is not TSU's first victory at the LegalTech hackathon: in 2022, their team created the BadBookBot chatbot, which also took first place. The programming and data analysis skills acquired in the TSU \"Digital Lawyer\" program helped the students in the development.
