Long COVID Buddy
Insight and self-help in post-COVID
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.

Our app is being developed as a cross-platform mobile application using React Native. The user interface (UI/UX) is designed with our target audience in mind and we aim to create an intuitive and minimalistic interface that is pleasant for users who often suffer from fatigue and pain in order to minimize the cognitive load.
A crucial aspect is the integration with wearables such as Apple watch, Fitbit, Garmin. By collecting biometric data we gain insight into patterns associated with the user's symptoms.
In addition, we are exploring the possiblities of Large Language Models. This technology can enable us to bridge the gap between qualitative and quantitative data and create a smart, contextually aware interface. The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the user's unique situation to provide more relevant personalized self-help tools.
