Life has changed a lot after the world was struck by the pandemic. People have to think twice before touching their loved ones. The most affected relationship, as we observed, is that between a doctor and a patient. People are afraid of going to the hospital as they fear contracting COVID-19 from another patient or the doctors and nurses that will be checking them. The root of this fear is Touch. Patients are afraid of contracting the virus and thus prefer to either ignore their symptoms and go on with their day or lie to the doctors to get out of the hospital quickly. Incomplete information about the symptoms may lead misdiagnosis, which can be fatal. Our main motive to implement this application is to bridge the gap created by the pandemic between doctors and patients. This app will help a person to catalog their symptoms, keep a tab of their medication and if required, call for help from the nearest hospital. This will ensure that all the symptoms are catalogued, the history of the patient is already known, which ensures correct diagnosis in a shorter time frame with relatively minimum contact. The proposed app also has a feature to specify whether the person using the application is specially abled. This feature will ensure that the person is cared for in a way that suits their needs.
