High-Level Project Summary
The application aims to provide information about the covid-19 to the population, the project aims to implement sensors that measure people's temperature and collect impurities from the air, thus analyzing the location. As a result, the application will send information to the state health department so that the data can be analyzed. It will also be possible to recommend public places and show if that place complies with security protocols and it will be possible for the user to interact with it in order to also feed its database with information such as safe places in the city or if it is already vaccinated for example.

Detailed Project Description
We were able to obtain the following data:
Approximately 21,459,117 cases were identified in Brazil, in addition to 597,723 cases of death and 241,239,220 doses of the vaccine applied to the population. The proportion of confirmed cases across the country ranges from 100,000 to 10,000,000 cases in each region.
In the north and center and northeast and southwest regions of the municipality of Belém, 0-172 and 173-650 confirmed cases of Covid-19 were identified in the municipality, respectively. In the Southeast region, 651-1806 Covid-19 cases were confirmed, while in the Midwest and South regions, 1807-3872 and 3873-6895 Covid-19 cases were confirmed, respectively.
We conducted a survey to find out if people go to places where there is a lot of agglomeration and about 74.4% of respondents said no, while 25.6% said they usually go to this type of place. In addition, we also looked to see if people would use our app and around 93% said it was essential, meaning they would use it a lot. The maps used were prepared in ArcGIS software and forms through the Google Forms platform.
Space Agency Data
The GeoVid project consists of distributing sensors in certain locations in the city of Belém, such as shopping malls, bars and fairs, where some sensors will be responsible for measuring the population's temperature and others for collecting the air impurities present in the area. After this process, such collected data would be processed and made available in the App so that they could be transferred to the State Health Department. With this body aware of the situation in each location, a mapping of these areas would be made, making available in the App a recommendation of the places where the disease would be most focused, the percentage of vaccinated people, including how many doses these people have already taken so that the population was aware of the real situation. In addition, the App helps guide users who are suspicious of symptoms of Covid – 19 to locate a nearest service point, using the cell phone's GPS.
We believe that such an application would bring benefits to the population and the state in terms of informing the responsible agencies of the situation in which it finds itself, helping in decision-making in the fight against the disease and making the population aware and informed about the risks and advances of the fights the pandemic.
With the development of this App we hope to positively impact a large portion of the Brazilian population and provide these mechanisms for identification, awareness and information about the disease so that we can reduce contagions and prevent the death of the Brazilian population.
For the development of this project we used the ArcGis program which is a family of client software, server software and online geographic information system services developed and maintained by Esri. ArcGIS was first released in 1999 and was originally released as ARC / INFO, a command-line-based GIS system for data manipulation that gave the team an accurate visualization.
Hackathon Journey
Our team chose this challenge because we believe that much still needs to be done to contain the spread of the disease and that geotechnologies and related technologies could be used as efficient tools to achieve this feat in the country.
The approach used by the team to develop this project was experienced during the pandemic, and how our knowledge could help to contribute to the reduction of the covid-19 pandemic.
The team resolved setbacks and challenges based on an open dialogue where alternative, efficient and possible means were suggested to solve them and thus achieve our goal.
We would like to thank Prof. Tatiana Pará, one of the coordinators of the Projeto Meninas da Geo, for introducing us to this event and encouraging us to participate and thus show the world that we are capable of developing methods to solve current problems faced by the population.
