Inspiration

COVID-19 has been a nuisance in Indonesia, especially with the current lack of proper health infrastructures.

What it does

The Integrated Outbreak Coordinator (ICOD for short) is used to help health workers to identify possible places of outbreaks, and also keep track of the status of infected individuals. The data given is 100% provided by the users of the app, who can change/add new data should they find any in real-time to help their colleagues. In addition, ICOD is also designed with transparency in mind, and as such statistics gathered by users are freely available on display for anyone.

How I built it

ICOD is built using the Bubbl.io Web-based app. Before I built the app, I planned out everything using pencil and paper so that the process would be streamlined and less cluttered. Then I built each page meticulously, and tested every single one of them before finally launching the final product.

Challenges I ran into

VERY STRESSFUL! As a first time developer with no team mates, it is yourself to blame should an error occur. Many errors happened and I nearly quit halfway. Another challenge was when it took a while to actually fix a particular error and to combine the data, cost me half a day!

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm proud that I get to experience what its like to build apps as a developer. In addition, the feeling of being able to succeed in making the desired function is a very big relief!

What I learned

I learned that the path to development is not straight, and it is certainly not smooth. However, this experience has embodied me such that my mentality regarding programming is well prepared now, and also to never give up! :)

What's next for Integrated Outbreak Coordinator

  • Bug Fixes: Will fix the input of addresses to work successfully next time!
  • Perhaps add on more advanced features, such as analysis in each city and district.
  • Oh..oh Def more user options! ;)
