Project description
Long covid buddy is a new project that stems from our personal experiences with post-COVID symptoms and the significant impact on daily life and quality of life. We are developing a tool that supports people with post-COVID symptoms in their daily lives.
Context
COVID-19 has had a huge impact on our society, not only during the lockdown but also now, with many people (1-2% population) experiencing post-COVID symptoms that last from weeks to years. These people often deal with the same issues and often experience a lack of appropriate support within the medical system. With this project we are developing an app that helps them in a positive way, by providing them with insights and self-help tools for their recovery journey.
Results
As we started this semester, we focused on creating a solid foundation for our solution. Our most significant results include prototypes, research collaborations, and connections within the medical field. In addition, we are participating in the Fontys Incubator program with the goal of eventually making this app widely available.
About the project group
Our team consists of students from the Delta excellence program, each with unique specializations. This multidisciplinary approach us to create a meaningful product that combines many different perspectives.
