Designing a Mobile App to trace Covid-19 using Social Networks, IEEE Conference
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce our new design of
mobile social app. This app can be used to trace the spread of
Covid-19 among the app users while in social gathering. In the
state of the art, we studied several existing social apps from
around the world to trace/track Covid-19 and compare them
with our new social app. In this comparisons, a number of
parameters are defined to cover wide range of aspects related
to current pandemic. These aspects covers existing of
technologies (Cloud, Bluetooth, Mobile Device), governments
(Support, Use, Enforcement), and app users ( Health, Social,
Privacy). From the users prospective, the new design takes into
account the effects of wearing masks have on lowering the rate
and informing the user of the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic
in their surrounding communities. From the development
prospective, the new design was described without hassling
with the platform details of app implementation. Our
evaluation of the design support the development of a social
app that adhere to existing technologies, government policies,
and user trust.
