CoronaGotHack!
Project proposal and categories this project addresses:
• The proposed idea is to address the categories, Reduce the Spread of the Virus and Educate the Public on Covid and its impact.
• The proposal is to develop a GPS based 'self-triage' mobile application which would provide a map based system to list all COVID infected, quarantined patients within the closed contour.
• A provision to enter the details of patients with close symptoms(either for them or about someone around them) and also about the travel history in the past 3 months from any of the COVID infected countries are also expected.
• The app would provide frequent popup displays to educate people about the correct symptoms of disease and general tips to avoid spreading of disease and also any travel advice needed if there is any travel plan in the near future.
• Nearby hospitals and mobile health care systems will also be intimated based on the inputs provided by the users and also request for critical care support for people who are displaying the actual symptoms.
• The proposal also ensures to provide information from genuine, valid sources, preferably from government sources and deliver it to public in a healthy manner to avoid unnecessary panic situations.
• The application also proposes to report mass gatherings or crowding of people in any locality and report it to a nearby corporation or police station(preferably through image proofs).
Proposed architecture:
Mobile(Android) application with cloud backed database and hosting.Detailed architecture will be added soon.
Data requirement:
Procuring information from a genuine database source fully validated against the records, preferably one certified by the Government.
Project backing:
An Android developer account to publish this project in Google Playstore, if possible (incase the policies don't support usage of personal accounts)
To be added if anything else is needed
Benefits:
Prevention anyway is better than cure. We aim at curbing the spread of the pandemic with reduced crowding and improved housing quality. The main idea is to reach the people directly through a smart phone app (easiest means to connect to people around world these days) by alerting them with the symptoms, debunking the Corona Virus myths and cases near them regardless of the targeted region. This is to ensure people become vigilant and act accordingly to reduce the 'later' litigation costs.
