Global Nominee
COVID tracker - where is safe to go?
High-Level Project Summary
The pandemic caused by COVID-19 continues to be a global problem. Besides several actions, no solution provides local data information and engages users and companies effectively. We aim to offer more safety regarding covid-19, individualized risk warnings, stimulate business, companies, and support physical activities. The covid tracker app provides information about the population's vaccination status who attend in each place and warrants their veracity, besides providing cases rates and risk calculation. Our prototype smartphone application uses connect SUS services, Johns Hopkins University CSSE COVID-19 Dataset, and NASA's Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC).

Detailed Project Description
Our project aims to fill the gap regarding information from public profiles who visit certain places and help to identify safer places to visit. We connect customers to companies and offer seals to companies that have at least 80% of their customers vaccinated.
Our app requires a smartphone with access to the camera to scan the QR code from the vaccination card and internet access. The users can create an account, log in, and provide their email, password, and agree with the terms of use. They can also scan their vaccination card, which is validated on the government database. In the app, the customer can check the locations through a heat map to find out how many people are vaccinated in the establishment, their frequency during the time, and if the place has the seal.
The covid tracker app shows the number of vaccinated people and COVID cases found in the region. The users can report any irregularities in the places they visited regarding COVID prevention and some symptoms after visiting the place. We hope to achieve a characterization of a public profile in local places. With that, the companies have a powerful marketing tool to attract customers, employees, and a good reputation as a conscious and safe company.
We rely on NASA information to obtain some data and graphs about the covid. The tools were React Native, JavaScript, and PowerBI to carry out the project.
We hope to bring innovation to the market with our app, connecting customers and businesses. We are ready to deal with exposure infection measures and provide a greater sense of security for our users.
Space Agency Data
During our project, we used the data of seasonality and populational density data to plot a safer area where our users can safely visit, work, shop, hang out with friends, etc. By crossing dataset data, and data entered by users and companies, we created a zone with less probability of contagion of covid-19. We currently try to keep our users up to date with virus data.
Hackathon Journey
It was a fantastic experience, meeting new people and having a good relationship with our team. We acquired a lot of knowledge, exchanging personal and technical experiences among the group members.
We chose the challenge "Covid-19: calculate the risk" because we identified with the theme of the current situation of covid-19 in the world, so we embraced the cause to provide a better quality of life for people and solve one urgent demand. We made a sprint to get some ideas, suggestions and solve each problem we found. Then we implemented the entire project, dividing the team and doing our best to reach the final result. It wasn't easy to reconcile each person's routine to carry out the project. Still, each one tried hard, rescheduling an appointment and giving up a weekend with friends, family, and relatives to dedicate as much as possible to the project.
We want to thank each mentor who helped us on this journey. The individual effort and the support of each one were essential for the development of the project.
