C-CARE APP
1st ever COVID safety awareness system which will protect the user from catching the infection.
The problem C-CARE APP solves
problem our project solves
Offices and workplaces are opening up and as the lockdown loosen we have to get back to work, but there is a massive possibility that infection can spread in our workplace as, When a person is infected he can be asymptomatic for up to 21 days and still be contagious, so the only way to contain the spread is by wearing a mask and maintaining hand hygiene. WHO and CDC report said that if everyone wears a mask and maintains hygiene then the number of cases can be reduced three folds. But HOW we will do that? , how we can bring everybody back to normalization without further spreading the infection. So we have come up with a solution called C-CARE 1st ever safety alert system to protect the user from catching the infection.
What our project does
Our app is 1st of its kind safety awareness system, which works on google geofencing API, in which it creates a geofence around the user home location and whenever the user leaves home, he will get a notification in the C-CARE app ( ' WEAR MASK ' ) and as the users return home he will get another notification ( ' WASH HANDS '), ensuring full safety of the user and their family. It is also loaded with additional features such as i.) HOTSPOT WARNING SYSTEM in which if the user enters into a COVID hotspot region he will be alerted to maintain 'SOCIAL DISTANCING'. ii.) COVID cases count iii.) News feed regarding COVID updates. With all these features this app becomes an all-round COVID protection system that will take care of you and your loved ones and will be the best solution to bring everyone life back to normal.
Challenges I ran into
Challenges we ran into
1,) we lack financial support as we have to make this app from scratch.
2.) the problem in collecting data regarding government-certified hotspot and also we have to do a lot of research regarding the spread pattern of COVID-19.
3.) Due to a lack of mentors, whenever the app stop working we had to figure out by ourself, how to correct the error.
4.) It took us too long to use it in real-time as during lockdown it was too hard to go outside in the quarantine but finally, after lockdown loosens a bit we tested it and it gave an excellent result.
5.) we didn't know much about geofencing before that so we have to learn it from scratch using youtube videos.
