Ultimate Goal: This application has the ultimate goal to reduce chaos through the population and help sort who should and who shouldn’t go to the hospitals.
Drivers:
On March 16th, 2020, in Portugal, there were 331 confirmed cases. From these, only 29 had breathing difficulties, therefore, only 29 persons needed hospital assistance.
Doctors and nurses are among the most infected segment and as time goes by, less and less will be available to help people at the hospitals
Hospitals are running out of tests, therefore the screening is increasingly important
Hospitals are already overloaded and as people are getting more worried, and with the exponential growth that is happening, hospitals tend to be even more overloaded.
Linha de saúde 24 is getting overloaded and it won't be enough to answer all the calls.
This app would be a mobile one, where every family would be able to insert:
Family member details
Measurements (pain/no pain, body temperature, etc.)
Medication taken
Each family member should be able to add some measurement records. According to that, and following the Saúde 24 script, they would be suggested to:
Do nothing as everything looks OK
Take some medicine
Send an email do Saúde 24
Make a phone call to Saúde 24
Online chat with a doctor or nurse that can help them
