High-Level Project Summary
We developed an application that alerts the user when he has had contact with someone who is suspected of covid 19.It's very difficult to remember the people you've been in contact with recently, and it's a lot of work to get in touch with all of them to let them know you're suspected of covid 19.It is also embarrassing to tell people that you may have transmitted the virus to them.This lack of communication ends up helping to spread the virus.Knowing that there is the possibility of being contaminated, the person redoubles their care and avoids contact with other people in order not to infect them.And it was with this in mind that we developed our solution.

Detailed Project Description
What exactly does this do?
Inform people if she has had contact with someone who is suspected of coviding
How it works?
The application monitors and stores the user's location and cross-checks with the location of other users, identifying which users have had contact with each other. This way, when a user signals that he is suspected of covid, all other users who had contact with him will receive an alert.
The user will not need to create an account in the app. When downloading the application, an ID will be generated for it and any reference to the user will be made through this ID to ensure anonymity.
What benefits does this bring?
It helps the person to know that they may have been infected, as well as helping to inform other people that they may also be infected.
What do you hope to achieve?
I hope that, knowing that they may be contaminated, people will take more care and avoid transmitting the virus.
What tools, coding languages, hardware or software did you use to develop your project?
The application layout was developed in Figma. The application will be developed using React Native on the front-end and Node on the back-end. We will use a geolocation library to track the user's location.
Space Agency Data
We are inspired by geolocation technology. Our entire solution is based on this technology. It provides us with very rich data that can be used for many different purposes. And it's available for the entire community to use.
Hackathon Journey
How would you describe your experience with Space Apps?
It was very challenging, mainly because of the short deadline. But in the end it was satisfactory.
What did you learn?
I learned that you can create infinite solutions based on data that can be made openly available.
What inspired your team to choose this challenge?
At the moment we are experiencing this problem, it is still latent, and many of us feel the damage caused by it on our skin.
What was your approach to developing this project?
It was to think of a simple solution and that we in the group could take this idea off paper and make it a reality using our skills.
How did your team resolve setbacks and challenges?
The biggest challenge was dealing with each one's schedule, as we already had some commitments signed for the same date as the challenge. But the solution to this was to be understanding and patient with each other.
Is there anyone you would like to thank and why?
I would like to thank the organizers here in my city who encouraged us and didn't let us give up.
