Where There’s a Link, There’s a Way

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, there has been a proliferation of websites and portals developed to share resources about the topic. Your challenge is to find innovative ways to present and analyze integrated, real-time information about the environmental factors affecting the spread of COVID-19.

Coronavision

Summary

In today's world, thanks to the Internet there is so much information available at our fingertips that many people don't know what to do with it. There is so much to look at that it becomes overwhelming and hard to comprehend.The goal of Coronavision is to take these data and simplify down for the end user, so that any average Joe can understand what is going on around the world with COVID-19.

How We Addressed This Challenge

To make the vast amount of information easier to comprehend, Coronavision takes in several data sources and outputs them in a user-friendly format by providing a visual of a map with hotspots that shows the environmental aspects affecting the spread of COVID-19.

How We Developed This Project

What governed our group to choose this subject was the idea that during this critical moment, finding accessible and straightforward information can come across as difficult due to the large number of technical, hard to read sites. To do so, we began by brainstorming ideas for what could make digesting all the information available easier. After that, we consolidated our ideas into one, Coronavision. By combining our team member's website development skills and utilizing Leaflet and Mapbox to create the mapping platform, we were able to design a user-friendly site that showcases the environmental aspects that are affecting the COVID-19 spread.
