COVID-19 Tracker

Inspiration

Since health is an issue in Africa this would be a great project that could actually be used to track COVID-19 efficiently

What it does

The program gives you messages to input info for each patient using multiple linked functions. It gives you the option to quit, add a patient, see all patients, view one patient’s details, and remove a patient. In order to save the dictionary for the next user the program takes a dictionary which stores patients with their info in a custom class. The dictionary is saved to a file that lets the next user have every patient already stored without having to re enter info.

How I built it

I used python in VSCode, IDLE, and the pickle module

Challenges I ran into

Saving the dictionary permanently was hard, I had to learn to use the pickle module and troubleshoot multiple times.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud of making it easy to use for anyone, and making the dictionary save.

What I learned

I learned how to use the pickle module and save dictionaries to files.

What's next for COVID-19 Tracker

I would like to make it look nicer and be more detailed. It would also be nice if there was a better form of identification and the databases could be linked making the project even bigger.
