Covid Resources

The COVID-19 crisis and social distancing had a significant impact on our lives. And it has affected the lives of billions of people and to a greater extent this year. “The year of the pandemic” has shown that apps are at the heart of our lives, and we rely on them more than ever before.

Contact tracing apps are used by health departments to find people who may have come into contact with someone infected with COVID-19. Apps aid in the collection of data and the tracking of people's movements, making the process faster and more useful. Some may be able to identify people who may have been exposed to the virus, allowing them to isolate themselves and monitor for symptoms.

What it’s all about

The aim of our app is to provide resources to the needful and raise awareness about the challenges caused by the pandemic so that we can fight this pandemic together.

Problem Statement

Right now one of the biggest problems that people in India are facing is lack of resources and to be true they face more problems in accessing those resources. Everyday we see our friends posting on social media for the need of resources and many of them don't have access to and don't know about it.

Solution

Upon analysing all of these problems our team decided to build an app which would provide accurate information at the time of crisis. As we all know we are being hit by a new wave of covid in every six months or so. We have decided to develop a resources app for covid which would have all the details a person would need.

In this app we have listed the resources of different states of India and people who are in need can simply come and search in their locality and can contact them. Our app covid resources focuses on providing accurate data to the users. We have in our database integrated all of the information about the various hospitals across the country using AstraDb and others open source APIs and information available.

The interface of our app is extremely simple and user friendly. We have arranged all the resources under state names which users can download as in pdf format or in excel sheet. All you have to do is select your state and you are good to go.

AstraDb has played an important role in making our work easy as we can store huge amounts of data there and that also very easily.

Ideation

The app is divided into different sections :

Covid Resources : This is the main objective of the app. It provides information about the COVID resources in the nearby location. The person in need has to just fill his location and it will show all the available resources near him and contact details to avail it. We have stored data of various states in AstraDb.

Covid statistics : We have Integrated google stats for Covid-19 in our app which helps us to provide accurate data about covid statistics and vaccination statistics.

Vaccination / Hospital beds : We have also integrated the status of Vaccination / Hospital beds through which people can get information about the vaccination available and hospital beds available in their area.

Covid Helpline : We have included various helpline number which will give people ease to contact to proper authority provided by government.

Covid Vaccination : We have also added covid vaccination booking link through which people can book their vaccination from the Cowin website. (Official website for Vaccination booking in India).

Vaccine Notification : We have integrated a service in our app through which people can register themselves to get notified whenever vaccine is available.

Chatbot : We have Integrated a chatbot using google dialogflow which will help users to get information about various things. (Chatbot is still needed to be modified).

Precautions : We have added a few precautions so that people can get knowledge about it.

So this was the basic outline of the app.

About the App

We have developed our with the help of Bravo Studio which allowed us to save our time by simpling converting our design from figma to a app and later on we binded the data with the help of APIs to our UI.

The main reason behind choosing bravo was that we lacked time and wanted to include as many resources as possible to we used bravo and connected all the information which we wanted to add without compromising on UI.

We also used various API since we lacked time so we had to take help from those but in future we are planning to use AstraDb completely to store all the data as the process of data storing is as simple as a pie.
