For the future we would like to include some of the following desirable functionalities. We couldn't find these functionalities in the top 5 apps that we reviewed, so we think adding them will make our product stronger and more competitive.
| Issue | Proposed Solution |
|---|---|
| How to meet new people safely during this time of covid | Inside of the app, have guides and videos showing how to stay safe during covid, Show rick details about where you are going |
| Friends/Family gets infected with COVID | Add friends to the app by using QR codes. App will alert if a friend starts reporting symptoms of being sick |
| Can't quickly test if I have COVID | Sell inside of the app a way to buy a mobile kit that is able to test the user. Include a guide on how to self test |
| Don't know how to setup an appointment to test for COVID | Include way inside app to automate appointment setup. User can just click when they will be available and we'll find them an appointment |
| Not being able to track who you have been in contact with | Inside of the app, let the user know what other users they have been close to. Share recent symptoms with app user if there is a possible that the user they passed is infected |
