Prototype of Covid Tracer Management Application

ABSTRACT

As the world battles against the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant part of the world is trying to ease lockdowns while rapidly identifying individuals who may have been infected. Yet, such contact tracing is commonly a relentless and slow cycle that depends on face-to-face meetings, which is also dangerous. The government has come up with a contact tracing application, but such solutions are deemed by the public as too intrusive and non-beneficial, especially when it is obvious that this pandemic will be with us for a long time. As such, by integrating a reward-based approach to contact tracing, it would increase the level of awareness and interest in actively using such solutions among the public. The aim of this application is to increase the number of users using the contact tracing application. The usage of this mobile application would be beneficial to the users, which would increase the number of users of this application. The function of a contact tracing application would be more effective with the presence of a rewards system as more people would use the application to check-in at the places they go. The system is developed using Android Studio and uses Google Firebase as the database. © 2022 IEEE.
