The problem

It is known at the moment that the infection for COVID-19 its highly lethal in the older and comorbid patients with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, with a big increase in the risk of hospitalization and mortality. On the other hand, the population under 40 years had mortality around 1.9%1,2, In this sense, it's mandatory to identify in early mode the high-risk population who became symptomatic and their contacts to get the opportunity to bring theme right and on-time care in the middle of this pandemic. This can be achieved with the implementation of an observational and intervention app connected with the healthcare providers, to monitor and follow them in early safe mode, in order to ensure the more meaningful intervention before severe inflammation and organ dysfunction get develop3.

The idea

We propose care-me, an app which performs periodic questionnaire through a chatbot or a form to people in small communities in order to detect who are in high risk opportunely. This questionnaire is designed in such a way that allows it allows to know the situation of patients: whether they belong or not to the high-risk population, sick progression, need to test, need to treat, cluster contacts, the opportunity to smart immunoassay, monitor Sp02, HR, Temperature and RR.

Target users

People from small communities, autonomous doctors, systems of private practice, and autonomous hospital cloud servers. The patients should be encouraged to use and promote this app by the health actors in order to monitor themselves and care for their relatives/neighbours/friends.

Our plan

We aim to propose this service to the private hospital services and autonomous doctors registered in the provinces of the country and who will offer it in their time to their ensured patients. It is proposed also to the public system and University Hospitals.
