As an application related to a big challenge like COVID-19, there must be confirmed information, like WHO “World health organization” that try to give proper reports and instructions associated with COVID-19.
Another trusted organization tries to complete the role played by the WHO. But what if we have combined all those properties in one application! That is interesting!
CoAvoid is the first application that assembles all that information together with a list of advantages and its trusted application that fits all the categories. Nowadays, the world suffers from a big rate of infected persons with COVID-19 around the world. The reasons for getting infected are the environmental factors affecting the spread of COVID-19. The first study shows that COVID-19 is spreading in the air while an infected person coughs or sneezes or gets closer to him. The second study shows that COVID-19 is spreading through the water, admixture the patient with the water with the saliva for instance. Another study shows that COVID-19 is spreading between the surfaces in different places in the world, like malls, organizations, or even natural sites.
Through all the accomplished studies, they all have been put in concentration while working on the application. All the new studies were added, different trusted reports from WHO, All the instructions that help in avoiding COVID-19 by giving advice to whom reading. Different toolbars were added into the application like: A reminder of washing the hands, buttons were added to help in dealing with the infected person. All the information supported by trusted animation videos.
And have put in concentration that the application fits all the ages, we have added “kids’ mode” that is supported by animations and easy instructions that could be understood. It’s the chance, the remainder to avoid COVID-19 that’s why it's CoAvoid and we are the Decovidors.
By the time, our goals are changing. In comparison, our goals when we were kids is different from now. In my perspective, this is our goal in that time to create an application that helps people to deal with COVID-19. We have inspired to make things easier for those who do not have the time to check the news and cannot understand the present situation, Simply all the categories.
In this hard time, there was a lot of fake news spreading between people thus it led them to the wrong path. But what if we connected the stars together and creating an official application that considers all the information with reminders, reports, and things that fit you, Amazing right! We care about our customer thus we cared about the design for those the older and also kids’ mode that was created specifically for kids that help them to recognize more information about COVID-19, Analyze all the information with reminder buttons to wash their hands and instructions to help people and decrease the infection of COVID-19. However, we used different resources to help us in our mission, the humble organization provide us different resources that help us a lot like JAXA, NASA and we also trusted sites like Stanford site try to find the information that fits my project, paraphrasing it and site it with APA citation.
For the project, we have designed it as a future application that we intend to do it with flutter and other programming languages soon, we use photoshop illustrator and photoshop.
There is no mission without challenges, for us, our biggest challenge was time, with the current situation it’s a hard time to work, each family of ours has more than an infected person, searching about COVID-19 its consequences and the relation with the chosen challenge, it took us time and there wasn’t enough time to create an application so we make a demo for it before creating it in a good period, but through this experience we gained a lot of skill, working as a team, exchange the experience we have had before in different competitions like ISEF, Beamline and others, and lessons that will help us in our life. But the most precious lesson we have learned is helping the others as much as we can and pray this pandemic ends.
