This is from a good friend of mine: www.checkforcorona.com
For the past 2 weeks, my project team and I have been developing a COVID-19 screening software. The tool serves in two ways: 1) helps focus healthcare resources on patients that really need help, and 2) calms fears and reduces demand on the healthcare system from people who are unlikely to need immediate assistance or testing. My team is working remotely from various different locations to integrate the application with healthcare and governmental agencies’ back-end systems, starting with the agencies in Houston/Harris County, TX. We are doing this pro-bono.
A freestanding version of the screener is now available at CheckForCorona. (A freestanding version not integrated with any city, state, or hospital, etc.) The tool leads you through questions relevant to COVID-19 and navigates you through the logic to reach guidance on your symptoms. The tool does NOT collect any personal information, although optionally sharing your zip code helps gather data on the potential level of exposure per region. (Please note that just because you don’t have symptoms does not mean you are not infected.)
This is the *only* tool that is "official" using the up-to-date information on COVID-19. For example, for the Houston/ Harris County site launch (launched this Monday), my software project team (a collaboration of Luminare, Inc. and Cognitect, Inc.) has worked with doctors, nurses, city officials, state officials, call-centers, testing sites, police officers, judges, first responders, the Feds, Microsoft, etc. just to launch Houston/ Harris County. The next site is Fort Bend County, TX and more cities, hospitals, universities, etc. coming. I sincerely hope NC (or at least Raleigh) can get on board with this as we do not have a reliable tool in our region guiding our public and reducing unnecessary demand on our healthcare workers. Not to mention we do not want to waste any test kits while our country has so little of it.
