Our app serves individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 who are beginning quarantine. There are three tabs: (1) log, (2) profile, (3) resources.
(1) Log: This screen has the questionnaire which can be filled out at any desired frequency (recommended: daily). Selecting certain symptoms prompts the user to "Remain in self-isolation. Monitor for worsening symptoms and contact your doctor for further assistance." However, selecting an emergency symptom (e.g. bluish lips or face) prompts the user to "Contact your doctor immediately!" The user can locate nearby hospitals in the resources tab. Upon pressing save log, the user's physician is emailed or texted (in a later incarnation of the app) the form, providing the doctor with real-time updates on the patient's condition.
(2) Profile: The user enters information like full name, age, weight/medical history (to be implemented later). The age and weight/medical history of the user will affect the sensitivity of the emergency symptoms detector, which will tend to more strongly prompt a 70-year-old smoker to contact their doctor and visit a hospital if necessary, than a 20-year-old healthy individual. The user can also enter their city of residence, which causes a NYTimes hospital availability map to appear in the resources tab.
(3) Resources: Provides links to health, education, food, and mental health resources. Underneath, the user finds a map from the NYTimes displaying hospital ICU capacity (updated daily) in the surrounding city (see: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/covid-hospitals-near-you.html). This can serve as a vital resource for the patient, providing the patient with available hospitals while also helping keep hospitals from being overwhelmed with patients.
