Maptrack

Inspiration

My inspiration for this was due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If someone tested positive, tracking who the person made contact with will prevent the spread.

What it does

Everyone gets assigned a unique QR code. You can scan other people’s unique QR codes and it lists the person in your recent contacts list. If the other person becomes positive for COVID, the person who scanned their QR code will be notified.

How we built it

I used HTML/CSS/JavaScript/NODEJS for the frontend and backend. I also used OpenScreen’s API to generate the unique QR code.

Challenges we ran into

There were some issues such as not seeing the QR code on web server, and live-server npm packages were slow to respond.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Finishing in time-limit & learning how to use npm.

What we learned

I learned how to integrate OpenScreen’s API into my project and use it with JS/HTML/CSS.

What's next for Maptrack

Include something with masks and mask recommender. Also have Google maps to display if someone you scanned is near you so you can take safety precautions.
