| Popis: | It is known that the COVID-19 spread mainly from having close contact with people who have histories of exposure to the novel Corona virus (2019-nCoV or SARS-CoV-2). Though some countries have succeeded in developing the vaccine, its arrival remains a challenge in most countries like the Philippines. For this purpose, strict health protocols and contact tracing remain to be the principal public health interventions and preventive measures to limit the spread of COVID-19. With the number of available contact tracing applications that use Bluetooth and GPS technologies, this study focused on the development and pilot testing of GoTrace, a web-based contact tracing application that uses Quick Response (QR) codes. GoTrace integrates the collection of daily health surveys and location tracking data of the end-users on a digital and web platform to generate real-time, accurate, and reliable contact tracing reports. With the positive feedback of the participants during the pilot testing, GoTrace will offer a promising mobile contact tracing technology that can be adopted in various environments through its dynamic, flexible, and user-friendly architecture. |
