Proactive Citizens Symptoms Monitoring

Proactive Citizens Symptoms Monitoring

This is a functional prototype (a weekend project) developed during the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal.

Taking advantage of open source and free technologies and available programmable voice and email delivering services, this system can potentially monitor every citizen for symptoms on a regular basis.

You can see it in action on Youtube. The system provides three interaction interfaces:

• A website for user signup and filling out a questionnaire regarding symptomatology. Users can also invite other people like family or someone else they were in touch with (we're talking about a pandemic scenario);
• An automatic phone call to answer the same questionnaire available on the website. The phone call only happens when the email address was not provided or the user didn't re-evaluate its health condition in the past 24 hours;
• A dashboard for aggregated live data analysis by the national health organization.

I strongly believe that the capability and real-time data this system can provide, national health organizations would be able to take early measures to contain infection propagation.
