Project Description
The GIS Center at the Faculty of Engineering developed a novel App, HAYATI as part of the University of Balamand commitment to the community and the country in response to the COVID-19 outbreak,. HAYATI is a crowdsource app that collects data at the individual level to build a comprehensive database that is geo-located. HAYATI uses an advanced COVID-19 diagnosis calculator to compute the risk levels. The COVID-19 Risk calculator used in HAYATI is designed by the Consultant to the President for Wellbeing & Healthcare at the University of Balamand, based on the recommendations of WHO, CDC, LSIDCM, among others. The criteria used in the calculator are dynamically updated based on new reports from reliable health resources and the latest findings from the WHO.
