Using Contact Tracing Technology for Communicable Disease Tracking

Having recently tackled the COVID-19 pandemic, a new dimension to healthcare management has emerged. Irreparable damages were done due to the inadequacy of the existing systems and the lack of knowledge in most of the population in this field. Effective tracking and alerting of communicable diseases has never been of more significance. Our project harnesses advanced contact tracing technology to help users monitor and better manage their health and reduce the risk of exposure to communicable diseases. The app gives real time notifications to the user anytime they are near a potential disease carrier alerting them thereby avoiding potential infections. The innovated system has a questionnaire consisting of simple yes or no questions for symptom detection and provides precautionary measures based on the user's responses. The app also utilizes a radar giving the users better knowledge about their surroundings. Additionally, the app offers online consultations with doctors. Moreover, it provides emergency helpline access to the users. All these features help in more effective tracking of healthcare for not only emergency situations like pandemics, but further provides a complete solution for day-to-day management of healthcare also informing the users about safety measures so they can be well prepared if they ever develop an illness.
