Trackable

A better way to care and connect.

Comment 2

Inspiration

In a time where healthcare workers are working long hours away from their families and patients are unable to see their loved ones, it is up to us to help everyone feel more cared for. Not only that, many public places are not following COVID-19 protocols, including social distancing, requiring face masks, and offering sanitization supplies or sanitizing regularly, increasing your risk factor by 82%. In many ways, it’s no surprise that the same groups that have faced persistent poverty and histories of discrimination are now also the ones at higher risk of contracting the coronavirus and bearing the brunt of its economic cost. This is where our website, Trackable, comes in.

What it does

Trackable is a website that utilizes crowd-sourced data to inform users about the safety of certain public locations. We also realize that due to COVID-19, many people are facing isolation in their daily lives and are not able to communicate with their families as much, so we are offering a dedicated place where you can send meaningful messages to those who need it. Lastly, we know that many people are very paranoid about their exposures with COVID-19, so we created a free quiz that can calculate how likely you are to get contracted with the virus.

How we built it

We created our website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Challenges we ran into

We had trouble connecting to the Google API because it was really hard to implement it to the website.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we finished this project during the hackathon duration.

What we learned

We gained a lot of experience in coding and had lots of fun during HackDefy!

What's next for Trackable

We foresee that our platform will be fully functionable and attracting thousands of users within 8 months. In the next month, we plan to continue to develop our platform by improving the front end looks and back end security & functionality. Second, we plan on spending about 2 months to get feedback on our prototype and adjust our product accordingly. Once finished, we can launch the product to the general public. The last and longest step, taking 4 and a half months will be our marketing campaign, in which we will expand our user base. We will do this through two major channels: social media influence and spread of information through word-of-mouth. This is our plan of strategy for Trackable.
