Inspiration

Right now in Indonesia we have exponential growth of Covid-19 suspect and victims. But most of our people not aware about this disasters. A lot of people still commuting here and there. Join physical meeting in crowd. Go vacancy to tourist attraction. So ignorance.

Meanwhile Covid-19 spreads is like ghost that no one know who is the carrier nor location that maybe infected. Our government cover the information from public. Even i dont know if i am potential carrier or not.

So, we think we must build social awareness about this issue to fight againts Covid-19. We must giving early warning systems to people who has potentially become carrier of the viruses. By self reporting and warning notification through smartphone apps

What it does

We use bluetooth technology in smartphone to scan nearby devices and store them to the server. This history of contact will store in 28 days (2 cycle of recommendation quarantines cycles).

And user can also doing screening questionnaire test to help them self check within apps.

When user got status as People Under Supervisory Covid-19, they can create report about theirs status. So, user who has matching contact history with, can get notification to do quarantine and not making contact with others. So we can stop this spreads together.

Also, we can give secondary data to our government or related stakeholder to give data tracking primary cluster till secondary and third cluster. So we can send notification to them to do rapid test or another healthcare procedure for this potential carrier of Covid-19

How I built it

We build solution in android OS using native Android. And prepare the server and analyticals report using php with laravel Nova framework library.

And also we built sekitarkita apps in Ios using native swift language.

We also provide business intelligence report in metabase.

Challenges I ran into

Need publicity to makes more people install and share this apps. We need support and partnerships from authorities and stakeholder to help follow up the self report that done in our apps.

Our apps not approved yet in Google playstore. It 5 days already and they not approve. :-(

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Without available in google playstore we can achieve 1.000 install in just 2 day since it launched.

Lot of people say thanks and willingly to share this apps to their network. So our message to increase the awareness of the Covid-19 is success.

I hope more and more people will use this apps and we can help government together to fight against Covid-19.

What I learned

As vigilant citizen we must take part to giving solution with all our competences. So we can solve the problem together.

What's next for sekitarkita.id

  • Integration with Stakeholder to follow up self reporting report of covid-19 infection or supervisory person.

  • Integration with government Covid-19 result test. So we can help to track the contact history of people under supervisory status.

  • Feature group support to support people who doing self isolation or quarantine.

This project idea is very great! The risk of COVID-19 level outbreak is very high. At 26 March, 2020 we have 686 people confirmed infected and current fatality rates is already the highest in the world.

Not only that problem. Lockdown is not an option here. There will be social economic problem arise after that. The most important is our medical facility is not prepared yet. As of now, 7 of 55 deaths are doctors.

SekitarKita.id is one of our movement that we think this is great solution because we don't store much of privacy data. Privacy data is very important here. Case 01 in Indonesia get bullied in the internet when government publish the first case. What we do will help raising awareness and tracing the interaction between people. Not only when but where and getting informed trough the apps without caring who they are as long as they're getting informed early and know what to do next.
