The lecturers emphasize
- New technologies make it possible not only to monitor, but also to enable communication, analysis, and support of society in emergency situations. Mobile applications can be helpful in supporting the health system, care for the elderly, risk analysis or other situations important for people in the face of danger. All applications were written for Android. The winner of the competition was a group called main.cpp composed of: Patryk Amsolik, Jarosław Drzymalski, Jakub Pietras, who designed the COVID INFO application.
The app presents data on the current number of illnesses and vaccinations, allowing comparison with other countries. It also contains advice on what to do if we feel unwell, and provides access to a search for the nearest hospitals. As students say
- All information contained in our application is data that can be found on the website of the Ministry of Health. However, we presented them in a much more accessible way. The application is very easy to use so people of all ages can easily use it.
Representatives of the Cybercom company, while evaluating the application, emphasized that it is a fully finished project, ready for commercialisation. According to TomTom specialists, the interface and data presentation are particularly praiseworthy.
A distinction was given to Self-Diagnosis application designed by Julia Szymańska, Oskar Olaszczyk and Przemysław Zdrzalik. It is a kind of personal doctor, which we can have in our smartphone. The idea is based on self-diagnosis, which is conducted in a chat with a virtual doctor. It is an alternative to the fear of infection, overburdened health services and the difficulty of getting to a doctor. The app, which is a symptom-checking tool that can help a doctor, includes more than 5,000 possible diagnoses. Its creators point out - The app cannot replace a real visit to the doctor.
The projects have been carried out as part of the subject "Introduction to Mobile Systems" run by the Institute of Information Technology (Faculty of Technical Physics, Information Technology and Applied Mathematics), in the field of in Applied Computer Science, and in the field of Information Technology at the International Faculty of Engineering. The students were supported in their work by doctoral students: mgr inż. Sławomir Opałka, mgr inż. Jakub Walczak, mgr inż. Filip Wróbel and supervised by dr hab. inż. Piotr Napieralski, assoc. prof.
