Based on my personal encounter where fake news or the lack of real-time news about Coronaviruss’ presence in my locality, triggered panic in my society. Hence, I thought of designing an app that can fill the information gap about the virus. I am publishing this in hopes of finding similar people who might be interested in developing it.

Coronavirus Tracking App Design

Red Zones — Where virus was track 7 days before.

Green Zones — Where virus was tracked more than 7 days before.

This app is for the people and by the people meaning people who get tested positive for coronavirus are reported here and we map their location onto the app and tell other people which localities are infected and to what extent.

The app tracks the user’s locations whenever he stays in a locality for more than 30 minutes. So, in the future, if he gets affected, we can tell other users about the areas with higher virus infection chances.

Login Process:

Users can either opt for Facebook authentication or Sign Up with Mobile in both cases we take mobile number OPT authentication for mapping users to his current mobile phone number.

Login Process

Logged In:

Here user can see coronavirus cases near him on a map. If (s)he plans to travel, we show them an optimal route that goes through least infected areas.

We also have a Report Corona-Virus button, this helps us map the Coronavirus infection rate in the local community.

Report Corona-Virus:

Here reporting can be done by any lab technician, doctor or any family member all they need is a valid coronavirus test report photo, infected person’s mobile number, and their home locality.

We mark home locality and not the exact address of the infected person and we use mobile numbers for mapping and authentication of our users. We keep our users’ privacy as a priority.

After validating the positive coronavirus test report we mark the places traveled by the infected person as a Hot Zone where virus presence has a higher probability.

Thank you for reading and Go Corona Go.

Please feel free to comment and share your ideas. :)
