Project Description
Older people, accounting for a large proportion of Australian population, are more susceptible to getting sick with COVID-19, and cause higher fatality rate once getting infected compared to youngers. Therefore, providing older people with special protection and care will contribute to the infection control, overall social stability and further development.
Utilizing the available open data and processing data virtualization, we aim to design the solution to mitigate infected information limitation specially faced by older people because they are unfamiliar with digital devise application, optimize medical resources and volunteer allocation, and prioritize the old people’s medical need.
