Inspiration
Our team was driven to solve the problem of tracing contagious illnesses in schools, specifically motivated by what we saw as a lackluster and obscure tracing process in our own district.
What it does
The app provides a place for infections from COVID and other contagious illnesses to be reported by students and teachers, allowing them to easily and quickly be aware of potential risks that they may have been exposed to. The app integrates with Powerschool to import seating charts and quickly send specialized notifications to students very close to positive cases of contagious illness.
How we built it
The app was built using Android Studio, with the same tools used by professional Android developers.
