About The Customer

My-Trackr is designed for businesses, individuals, and public health organizations seeking an effective contact tracing solution amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The app is particularly beneficial for those who are concerned about the security issues associated with GPS-based contact tracing tools. My-Trackr is also suitable for users who want to keep track of their interactions and be notified if they have been in contact with someone who has reported COVID-19 symptoms or an unfavorable test result. The app's future features, including SMS-based notifications and additional reporting for business users, will further enhance its utility for a wide range of users.

The Challenge

The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the implementation of effective contact tracing measures to curb the spread of the virus. Businesses, individuals, and public health organizations are in dire need of a reliable contact tracing tool to safely resume their day-to-day activities. Existing contact tracing tools primarily rely on GPS tracking, which has proven to be ineffective and raises security concerns. The creators of My-Trackr, Rahul Chitko and Subhash Pai, along with their team of talented high school students, recognized this gap and the urgent need for a more effective and secure contact tracing solution.

The Solution

My-Trackr is a contact tracing app built on Bubble, a no-code platform that accelerated the development process. Users sign up with a valid email address, and My-Trackr generates a personal QR code for them. Users can record meetings with other individuals by adding their emails or scanning their QR codes. The app also allows users to report any COVID-19 symptoms or test results. If a user reports symptoms or an unfavorable test result, My-Trackr notifies other users from the recorded meetings and those who visited a location where someone reported an unfavorable test result. The creators plan to add features such as SMS-based notifications, additional reporting for business users, and actionable data analytics.

Operational Impact

My-Trackr has made a significant impact in the fight against COVID-19 by providing a reliable and secure contact tracing solution. The app has not only helped users keep track of their interactions but also enabled them to take timely action if they have been in contact with someone who has reported COVID-19 symptoms or an unfavorable test result. The use of QR codes instead of GPS tracking has addressed security concerns associated with other contact tracing tools. Furthermore, the app's development on Bubble has demonstrated the potential of no-code platforms in rapidly responding to urgent societal needs.

Quantitative Benefit
