The problem COVCare: COVID Home Healthcare Service solves

As the number of patients of COVID-19 continues to increase at an unpredictable rate, the number of beds in hospitals and centers set up by the government fall short of the requirement by a huge margin. The condition is so severe that the reports indicating the incidents of patients being kept on streets have surfaced recently. All patients are not required to be kept in specialized care units. Home quarantine and isolation with proper guidelines can be implemented in these less severe cases. This project is created to bridge the gap between the medical service provider and the patient.
Specialized care is expensive and not required by everyone, this will provide an inexpensive alternative to conventional methods. -The extreme pressure on hospital beds will be reduced and more beds will be available to those in actual need. -Early and efficient intervention and identification of suspected patients will help reduce the spreading of this highly contagious infection.
This service has two interfaces, which we will individually deal with in the subsequent sections:
Patient service side The patients can install the android app and create an account. There is a choice between three categories which were already mentioned in the target user section. The patient then creates an account with the hospital of their choice. The patient (or an active relative or nurse) can update the medical parameters viz, BP, Temperature, SPO2, Respiratory Rate, and AVPU value. The values entered are timely updated in the database and are monitored by the hospital on the website. Moreover, each parameter has a set of information about it for instance.
Hospital service side Hospitals can register on the website by filling the sign-up form and can approve the registration of patients. The dashboard of every hospital displays a list of patients by sorting them on the basis of their MEWS, displaying the more severe patients above and then the less severe once.

Challenges we ran into

COVCare, as a service, can act as a bridge between medical practitioners and the patients. In order to accomplish this, this service requires active participation of the administration, hospitals and the patients. Fabrication of such a system was a major issue. We agreed upon a system of mobile application and a website to best suit our purpose. We had to contact doctors to get real time information regarding the guidelines and monitoring protocols implementable currently.
