With the COVID-19 virus tending to present symptoms slowly and be passed along incredibly easily, self-monitoring should be started as soon as possible.
This is an uncertain time and many people are looking for ways to educate ourselves with information that is accurate in the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic. It is a time when we feel powerless and need to soothe anxiety levels and, most importantly, be able to monitor our own health.
With the need for accurate information, the CoronaFighter web app allows you to perform a daily tracking of your symptoms through a simplified automated self-monitoring process. With its position at the forefront of a medical revolution, the CoronaFighter web-enabled app puts you at the centre of quality informative Covid-19 information you need, providing you with accurate and reliable statistics, resources and validated research that are crucial in catching cases early and helps to communicate efficiently with medical staff.
By providing you with the tools and information they need for self-monitoring, CoronaFighter reduces pressure on testing points and protects its users from the risk of infection presented by the testing centres themselves.
Due to COVID-19’s tendency to present symptoms slowly and be passed along incredibly easily, we should start self-monitoring as soon as possible. The health status and symptoms of patients with Coronavirus also change over time, and pre-testing will ensure that there are fewer false negative tests. By gathering updated information on a daily basis, officials will be able to identify patterns in symptom development that can lead to earlier diagnosis and limit further spread.
The easy-to-follow test gives you and all South Africans an accessible way to compare your current health profile to the latest NICD1 guidelines. To test yourself for COVID-19 simply sign-up on www.testforcovid.co.za with your email, phone number or Google Account, where you’ll give CoronaFighter a brief medical and travel history, and the app will be able to tell you what the latest NICD guidelines suggest you do next.
The platform was developed as an open-source initiative to ensure you get the best possible CoronaFighter app. Over 35 hardworking and passionate doctors, software engineers, creatives and marketers were able, in the space of one week, to create CoronaFighter. The app was designed to collect data to provide medical authorities with reactive feedback on where COVID-19 hotspots are, and aids in providing crucial data so that medical resources can be used in the most efficient way possible.
CoronaFighter presents you with the opportunity to be calm and mindful about your health status, it makes medical care easy to find and gives you an active way to contribute to the research that will ultimately win the battle against COVID-19.
