Project Summary

Problem Identified

OKAY is a platform that provides a protected space dedicated to our loved ones who are no longer with us anymore due to the devastation caused by the coronavirus pandemic. It helps us deal with the bereavement and trauma of losing a closed one keeping “the new normal” as the foundation of our vision. Furthermore it enables one to perform a funeral in a safe space with family at a time when emotional and physical distances loom large. It also allows us to send off our dead with dignity and empathy while adhering to all religious sentiments to give the grieving family closure and comfort.

Design Innovation

OKAY is a digitally empowered perspective to disentangling the myriad of problems that the present and possibly a lot of the upcoming generations in the future might face. As the global habitual paradigm is shifting fiercely towards a more virtually encircled way of life, a question that needs to be asked is how to step out of the circle and focus also on the way of loss of life and what follows. There are a lot of questions that form the frame of the picture that a loss paints in one’s mind, and at the crux of our journey to solving the problem lies the idea that “It’s okay to not be okay”
