DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A CORONA VIRUS TRACKING SYSTEM FOR INFECTED PATIENTS

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infection which is as a result of a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus Infection. The aim of the study is to design and implement a Coronavirus Tracking System for Infected Patients. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to develop an application software that will create flexible and relatively easily maintained systems for Coronavirus diagnosis and prevent unauthorized access to information and misuse of the app or its processes. The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is that the challenge of structural neglect of healthcare infrastructure across all spectrums throughout the federation as a result of decades of underfunding by all tiers of government in Nigeria, inadequate testing of equipments, inefficiencies in data collection and reporting COVID-19 patients and their contacts. The methodology adopted in this study is the object oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. The relevance of the study will help to retain the skill of an expert medical doctor in case of any eventuality and it will be useful in many hospitals, both private and government, cases where the expert is not on seat. The expected result is a computerized Coronavirus Tracking System for Infected Patients that examine the related architecture, models, technologies, and challenges of existing Coronavirus contact tracing approaches and showcase how the automated Coronavirus patient contact tracing can be used to curtail the spread of Coronavirus.
