mobEVID: A Smartphone-based RT-PCR Testing Record Capturing Application for COVID-19 Cases

The pandemic due to coronavirus is responsible for serious illness and deaths among individuals. Lately, Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction testing is considered a benchmark to identify severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus around the world. Along with the test, various necessary information such as clinical characteristics as well as the pre-existing medical history of the patients is needed to analyze the risk of them. In Bangladesh, these records are usually collected by health workers from different test centers in a manual way which may be erroneous. To perform this task more efficiently, we have developed a smartphone-based RT-PCR testing app named mobEVID to aid the health workers as well as patients. Finally, we have taken some reviews from different agents and patients to evaluate the functionality and effectiveness of this app. Their feedback confirms that this promising application is very effective in terms of user-friendliness as well as providing required services.
