Human Factors

The emergence and spread of infectious diseases, like COVID-19, are on the rise. Can you identify patterns between population density and COVID-19 cases and identify factors that could help predict hotspots of disease spread?

Health Path

Summary

Health Path provides us with updated statistics regarding reported cases of COVID-19 along our selected route and calculates the risk factor attached to it. It also suggests safer routes, that avoid cities with high number of reported cases, takes into consideration the length of the trip, method of transportation and the need to stop along the way.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We all need to adjust to the new normal, while attempting to resume our lives. This means taking extra safety measures and getting all the information we can to make the right decisions, especially while travelling.

Summer is here and some might consider adventuring to other cities and countries, by car or by bike. Knowing ahead of time what risks we might exposes ourselves to, along the way, will help us to plan and stay safe.

Information is power, but it is up to us to make the right choices. While we know that staying at home is safest, should we need to, Health Path will help us to stay safe.

How We Developed This Project

We thought about ourselves, about our relatives and about people all over the world that would like to travel in the near future.
