Covid19tracker (opens on March 6, 2020) will be a secure system that requires ID/password (you will need to fill out our "5-field Application Form" to get an ID). However, on the login page, we will publish the following 3 sample ID and password sets for anyone to use to login with. You can play around and see how the entire system can be used in some example use scenarios. We picked village (community), school district, and healthcare system scenarios.
Using the following IDs, you can see how COVID19Tracker is used in each scenario.
COVID247.org is a home page explaining the whole picture of the initiative Kokomo Solutions is taking on to help schools, communities, and workplaces, whereas COVID19Tracker.org is the actual cloud/mobile application or solutions that you’ll need to enter a valid user ID and password to use.
As explained in one of our blogs, we are not trying to mimic those sites with stats and map for public to view where the outbreaks are. Again, there are already a handful of very detailed compilations of information where the virus has spread, such as the Johns Hopkins CSSE site.
COVID19Tracker.org is not that! :)
With that cleared up, here is what we are trying to achieve for our communities. We are basically providing this so it can become a centralized repository system made to be used in a bit more personal (your local community) levelwhere you have the full control and own the data. You will be using the software we are providing to efficiently track reports, such as presumptive cases, verified cases, and cleared cases, etc. eliminating the situation where you are stuck with an improvised spreadsheet in unstructured and chaotic fashion. Pretty nice for a change, huh?
Not only that but on top of the baseline feature:
it can record the person involved, locations visited, and other auxiliary information about the case throughout the entire life-cycle of the case.
2. System can be configured to automatically notify persons or group via email, text, and voice call.3.
Furthermore, it provides a whole set of tools to manage and mobilize workforce with tasks. Tasks can be assigned to municipality employees to take actions such as go verify, confirm, communicate, etc. All the actions will be logged and captured in the same system.
Also of importance, it provides privacy and security thatno spreadsheet can ensure.
All these will be logged so you know exactly what had happened to the case in the future from the trail of logs.
And, of course, a local-centric map that can be shared with your local community members, privately or publicly at your choice, will eliminate those incessant inquiries!
So, I hope I explained why it's more than just a heat map with a bunch of circles and dots.
I'd like to see a demo (mocked) data to visualize how I can use for my local community. Is there a way to see a sample?

What's difference between COVID247.org and COVID19Tracker.org?
COVID247.org is a home page explaining the whole picture of the initiative Kokomo Solutions is taking on to help schools, communities, and workplaces, whereas COVID19Tracker.org is the actual cloud/mobile application or solutions that you’ll need to enter a valid user ID and password to use.
Where are the mobile apps? Available for iOS and Android?
Yes! They are both available on the App and Play store beginning March 6th. Search for “Kokomo24/7” (iOS) or “Covid19Tracker” (Android)
There are many stats sites and heat maps out there. Why do I need this?
