Our team developed the Corona Tracer app for contact tracing to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The app had a user-friendly interface and included effective features such as notification alerts and location tracking. The app’s contact tracing function used Bluetooth technology, and data privacy measures were incorporated to ensure users’ personal data remained secure. The app was well-received and helped to ensure timely notification of potential exposure.
Software Territory team was approached by a client to develop a contact tracing app called Corona Tracer, which aimed to help mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The app was designed to automatically detect individuals who come into close contact so that if either of them is found to be positive, the other can be reliably notified.
Research:
To ensure that the Corona Tracer app met the client’s expectations, our team conducted extensive research to identify the best practices and technologies for developing a contact tracing app. We analyzed similar apps in the market, reviewed data privacy guidelines and regulations, and took note of any design features that were particularly effective.
Design:
With our research in mind, we began the design process for the Corona Tracer app. We created a user-friendly interface with an easy-to-navigate layout that allowed users to register and enable the app’s contact tracing function with ease. The app’s design also incorporated features such as notification alerts and location tracking, which allowed users to receive timely updates on their potential exposure to COVID-19.
Contact Tracing Function:
The main feature of the Corona Tracer app was its contact tracing function. The app used Bluetooth technology to detect and record the proximity of other users with the app installed. If an individual who had come into close contact with another user later tested positive for COVID-19, the app would send a notification to other users who had come into close contact with them, advising them to seek medical attention and self-isolate
Data Privacy:
To ensure that users’ data remained private and secure, the app was designed to comply with strict data privacy guidelines and regulations. We incorporated data encryption and anonymization measures to ensure that users’ personal data and location information were not disclosed to third parties.
Conclusion:
The Corona Tracer app was designed to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 by enabling contact tracing and timely notification of potential exposure. The app’s user-friendly interface and effective contact tracing function were well-received by users. The app’s strict adherence to data privacy guidelines and regulations also helped to ensure that users’ data remained secure. Overall, the Corona Tracer app was a success, and we are proud to have been a part of the project.
