Inspiration

The world is going through a Global Pandemic right now. The reason why Covid-19 is so dangerous is due to the fact that the common symptoms of that disease are minor and similar to flu. However, there are many uncommon symptoms of Covid-19 which many people do not know. So I thought of creating this application so that people can know whether they have Covid-19 or not, based on a set of symptoms. By estimating the probability, the user can know whether he/she should get a Covid-19 test.

What it does

It has a set of symptoms, ranging from Common, to relatively less common, to some of the most serious symptoms. The user can select the symptoms he/she is suffering from and can find whether he/she is infected by the coronavirus.

How I built it

I first looked at all the symptoms of Covid-19 listed by the World Health Organization. Next, I included that set and categorized them into three types: Common symptoms, Less common symptoms, and serious symptoms. Then, I included checkboxes so that the user can choose the symptoms he/she is suffering from. Finally, I took the data given by the user and came up with the probability of infection

Challenges I ran into

Classifying which symptoms were severe and which were common was a bit of a challenge.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I successfully created an application that would help people to diagnose themselves.

What I learned

I learned about relatively unknown symptoms of Covid-19. Using checkboxes is another thing which I learned from this project

What's next for Covid-19 Calculator

This application can be modified further. Factors like Age and demographics can be introduced to better predict the infection.
