Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze currently available solutions that help to monitor the global epidemiological situation, including travel restrictions, as well as proposing a new solution dedicated to users who want to keep updated with the current restrictions and COVID-19-related statistics. The analysis of existing tools is prepared from the perspective of practical usability for the end user. This paper consists of an overview of the tools and techniques of data visualization and demonstrates how to integrate them with practical business usage in a mobile application.
Highlights
In times when information is of significant value, the importance of data should be acknowledged
The authors consulted with epidemiologists and experts in medical sciences from the Poznan University of Medical Sciences in Poland, and UC San Diego School of Medicine in the USA, at the early stage of this research regarding the most important aspects that must be taken into account in order to create a useful prototype of a mobile application for monitoring the global COVID-19 epidemiological situation
This paper focused on presenting the data visualization process and how to use it in a practical way, using the authors’ example of a mobile application that supports browsing for current travel restrictions
Summary
In times when information is of significant value, the importance of data should be acknowledged. People have a preference for well-ordered and organized sets of data, as well as neatly presented charts and visualizations in order to better understand the world around us. We live in an extraordinary time, which may have been predicted to some extent, but the current situation was generally unexpected. The COVID-19 pandemic exploded, and day by day it forced people to adjust their way of living to the new rules. Hospitals were required to adjust their tools and resources to the new reality as well, devising new approaches to deal with the rapidly changing situation [1,2]. Many new rules were introduced based on the core principles of social distancing, handwashing as often as possible, and wearing a face mask
