😷 Solution for assessing the risk of contagious viral infections (COVID-19)
The CovApp is an application developed in collaboration by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Data4Life. It can help users to assess their medical condition better, provide recommendations regarding doctor’s visits or coronavirus testing by answering a few questions.
Additionally, every filled out questionnaire summarizes relevant medical information for future doctor’s consultation in the form of a summary page, printout or a QR code. Institutions with the technical setup can scan the provided QR code and retrieve the patient information quickly and without any physical contact.
By implementing the CovApp, any medical institution can reduce the number of new incoming patients, avoid physical contact and speed up the patient registration process.
This repository holds a white-labeled version of the original application, free to use licensed under MIT License. Application logic, print functionality and QR code generation are still provided.
The application and underlying questionnaire logic are versioned and future updates will be provided.
The application runs dynamically in the browser. It can be built and deployed to any service that provides a static web server with custom routing.
It is based on a JavaScript software stack and uses the following technologies:
To get further information on how to set up and deploy your custom CovApp application, see the development documentation.
The CovApp provides the following customization options:
- change words or add a new language
- change colors
- change the application logo
To learn more about these options, see the customization documentation.
In addition to the XML representation of the questionnaire answers that is stored in the QR code, there is the possibility to generate a FHIR R4 representation.
In the src/global/fhir folder, you find a module that lets you create a FHIR R4 QuestionnaireResponse resource which contains the answers.
To generate the FHIR format, add the following code to the src/components/qr-code/qr-code.tsx file:
import { createFHIRQuestionnaireResponse } from '../../global/fhir';
createFHIR = () => {
const valuePairs = this.generateValuePairs(this.answers);
const fhir = createFHIRQuestionnaireResponse(valuePairs, this.language);
return fhir;
};Note: Since you’re changing the code outside of the general customization process, this might bring merge conflicts for future app updates.
Due to today's urgency and dynamic nature, we cannot offer support for this repository. We'll continue the development of the official CovApp internally. Changes and releases will be white-labeled and propagated into this repository.
We won't be able to react to issues and/or pull requests, but we would still encourage you to provide feedback. We will monitor the appearing problems, new ideas and possible feature requests and might consider them for future releases. Feel free to collaborate and work on your forks to move forward with custom development.
Before you open an issue, see the customization documentation.
While the development of the original CovApp continues internally, we'll provide regularly updated GitHub releases. If you followed the setup instructions and created a fork of this repository on GitHub, an automation process will open pull requests in your repository whenever then application and the underlying questionnaire received an update. This way, you'll be informed about updates and the development process stays as easy as possible.
Additionally, GitHub provides documentation on how to sync forks manually.
If you have further questions, you can find additional information on d4l.io.
