A tracking and communication system to assist the fight against COVID-19.

Innovative response

We have developed a system which encompasses a WEB-based control panel and an App (for users/population) which can track the geographical distribution of outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics of contagious diseases and vaccination campaigns.
Our system (called SaudeCEM) is able to launch warnings and informative messages, at different competence levels and in multiple areas, transforming each smartphone into a portable siren and also acting as an informative platform for their user safety. SaudeCEM launches alerts and messages completely customized to users in specific areas predetermined as at risk (or not), to be electronically assigned by the System Operator (areas drawn directly and in real-time over electronic maps). Warnings and messages are also received in real-time.
It is possible to track people agglomerations and also the mobility of a contaminated individual without identifying him (thus protecting his identity).

Specific issues addressed and anticipated impact

* Mitigate the contamination spread by mapping real-time agglomerations and tracking contaminated individuals versus (considered) risk areas.
* Bringing updated information in real-time to the users considering the geographic area where they are at that particular time.

Organisations/institutions involved

Government agencies involved to fight against COVID-19 chiefly health agencies.

Potential issues

To reach the full functionality of our solution, it is necessary to promote downloading the application (App) to the final users (population).
