CV19 Area Tracker

Inspiration

One of our friend’s dad is a doctor who works in COVID labs to test people. We decided to help him by streamlining the categorization process for him and doctors like him Also, one of our teammates recently broke his wrist and jaw, so we wanted to make it easier for people to stay safe even though they have their own issues by being quickly and efficiently informed. Doctors state that people are at risk because they don’t know the dangers of their area.

What it does

Our project is a website which gathers data from the user and stores it in a database It will assess whether they have been tested positive/negative for COVID-19, their state, street, and company. People who visit the website can see the number of cases within each state, city, and zip code. Another feature within our project can give the user safety tips and details about Covid-19 gives additional information on how to prevent infection, and display which areas have the most cases of COVID-19.

How I built

For the Code, we used a combination of HTML/CSS, and Python. The HTML serves as a frontend for the Python which retrieves/stores the information on the backend. The Python is the backend of the code which gathers the user's input and stores it within the database which then translates the data onto a bar graph.

Challenges I ran into

One of the biggest complications was the time requirement since we were constrained in a small time and limited people within our team Not being able to be with our teammates in person, thus combining code was a little harder Connecting real-life maps and bar graphs to our o as well as incorporating real-world data from big databases like Google Cloud.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are proud of having created a code that takes in information and replicates it to the people as it shows which states have a high population of COVID and areas.

What I learned

We learned that COVID-19 is a major problem and proud of trying to help prevent it, along with learning that the less time we have the more productive we would be.

What's next for CV-19 Area Tracker

With more time given, we will be able to bridge the back-end and front-end code with the website Create an interactive map, where a person can select any state and street, the amount infected will be shown Talk to hospitals and doctors about the website and how they can implement it Develop an app version of the website and enable location services and a notification feature The user would choose how they would like to receive updates, whether it be by street address, zip code, or county a notification would pop up illustrating the number of cases in a bar graph and status of how prevalent coronavirus is in the area showing how important it is to exercise social distancing and taking the right precautions Connect our user data to an official cloud-based system that monitors COVID-19 cases
