JuanSafe

A digital diary for contact tracing

Comment

Inspiration

COVID-19 has made it difficult for us to live our daily lives and spend time with our loved ones. When every trip outside is a potential hazard, staying at home seems like the only option. I created JuanSafe to help people manage the risks of going outside by tracking their movements through a digital diary.

What it does

Check-in Feature

User's need look for the official JuanSafe QR code posters that can be found at the main entrance of the establishment.

There are two options:

  • Option 1: Upload or scan QR code using your phone's built-in camera "QR Code Reader"
  • Option 2: Enter a business or service name manually by tapping the "Manual Check-in" quick reply button

Meetup Feature

  1. Ask someone to generate his/her meetup QR code by tapping the "Generate QR Code" quick reply button
  2. Upload or scan his/her meetup QR code using phone's built-in camera "QR Code Reader"

Other Feature

How user's check their diary?

By tapping the "Activity Log" quick reply button and select: i.e. Last 21 Days
