Users will be asked during the online registration process if they experience any of the COVID-19 symptoms, such as fever, cough, exhaustion, muscle pain, runny nose, sore throat, shortness of breath and diarrhea.
Using the answers of the users, the app will produce a result that will signify mild, moderate, or extreme condition based on the number of symptoms that the user exhibits. The data would then be submitted to a “heat tracker” in the central dashboard of the app, displaying the areas and number of people with symptoms of COVID-19. This is a great invention and help this season.
