ABSTRACT
In order to cope with a pandemic COVID-19, Indonesia has implemented various measures of public health including contact tracing. This research will integrate three aspects, namely the use of telemedicine for geographic information system, tracking COVID-19 patients using smartphones and diagnosed persons. The three aspects are wrapped in interactive and informative application where users can track their journeys, and communicate directly with the doctors. The geographic information system was built based on statistical analysis of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic to determine the factors that affect the number of COVID-19 patients in an area using geographically weighted regression. Later on, this application can provide information about the current conditions, increase data transparency, and used as a tool in assessing a particular policy. This telemedicine application utilizes a map-based geographic information system (GIS) feature to display information. This system also has high security so that it can protect user information and can be accessed easily by users. © Geoinformatics International.
ABSTRACT
Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is the respiration diasease that can be transmitted from individual to another. There have been 3906 ODP (individual on monitoring) cases, 3303 PDP (patient under surveillance) cases, 2918 confirmed cases, 766 recovered patients, and 282 deaths in Surabaya, as recorded on June 6th, 2020. GIS (Geographical information system) is a science based on computer software, to provide digital form information and the earth’s geographic surface analysis. GNSS (global navigation satellite system) is the positioning system method using satellite, which can be used by a lot of people at the same time and designed to obtain three-dimension position. The combination of Smartphone’s GNSS positioning and the spatial data of Covid-19 distribution in Surabaya is expected to be able to give useful information about health condition toward citizen, especially about Covid-19 pandemic via application based. The outcome is a color-level based distribution of Covid-19 cases which can be accessed android smartphone. Sub district with the highest rate of Covid-19 cases does not necessarily have proper health protocol facilities, and so does other sub districts with high rates of Covid-19 cases. In fact, none of Covid-19 referral hospital located in the sub district with high rate of Covid-19 cases. Based on the results of the questionnaire, the applications namely “Cegah Covid-19 Surabaya” has received good responses. This application is currently able to run on Android smartphones with the versions of Android 10, Pie, Oreo, Nougat, Marshmallow, and Lollipop.
