Angolan creates application that allows self-diagnosis of covid-19

Do you have questions about covid-19 and don't know where to find reliable information on the subject? If the answer was yes, know that there is an application that has made your life easier. Called "covid-19 to api", this application not only gathers information about the symptoms of the disease but also allows you to do a test to know whether or not you are infected.

With an Angolan signature, the application allows users to self-diagnose: "Self-diagnosis is based on issues related to the symptoms of the disease and beyond, attributing a considerable probability to the result obtained at the end of the test.

But not only that. In a statement sent to VerAngola, Ravelino de Castro - a computer science student who decided to create this application - reveals that the application also allows users "to have access to credible information on the number of positive, suspected, recovered and deaths caused by the pandemic in Angola".

As the application will retrieve the statistical data available from the country's inter-ministerial commission, the information provided is reliable. In addition to these figures, the application also offers "prevention tips recommended by the World Health Organization".

The "covid-19 ao api", which was launched earlier this month, is available in four languages and its use is quite simple: just have a computer or mobile phone with internet access.
