COVID19 Assistant.

  Screen capture of how it works

Inspiration

I am an international student who completed his first year in college just this past May. I spoke to my friends in Ghana just a few months ago, and among many other things, we spoke about the current pandemic. I was shocked at how uninformed they were regarding the causes, symptoms, and preventive measures for Covid-19. I, therefore, decided to build this to help not only my friends but anybody around the world also get free information, help, and support on Covid-19.

What it does

This assistant basically provides COVID-19 statistics, help, and resources information to everyone from any part of the world.

How I built it

I used node.js for backend webhook management.

Challenges I ran into

I think my biggest challenge was finding credible sources of information on the pandemic. The internet is filled with so much information that it is sometimes difficult to decipher what is right and wrong information.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The fact that I am able to make something that my friends have found useful in understanding the pandemic is largely a proud feat.

What I learned

This was my first time coding in node.js, and it turned out to be a pleasant and worthwhile experience.

What's next for COVID19 Assistant.

I hope to expand this to be able to provide statistics on every disease and to also be able to offer people important and helpful healthcare solutions, including, but not limited to, medical reports, and in the very distant future ability to book appointments and get diagnosis from Medical personnel.
