With the count of the Corona virus victims reaching over a thousand, it has become the
responsibility of citizens in Pakistan to either make sure they and their family stay safe,
or look for ways to counteract the virus. Recently, it has been reported that a group of
students from Habib University have created an app that will help detect and control
coronavirus.

These students from Habib University have made an apps that detects and treat deadly
coronavirus across the globe. This team took part in the Texas A&M University’s annual
‘Invent for the Planet’ event that gave students from 35 universities around the world a chance
to create prototypes to solve real-world problems, and as we know, there is no more pressing
concern than the spread of COVID-19. A large number of engineering students from across the
globe participated in the event to solve these challenges. This team from Habib university
students took part in the competition and have developed an app which will give exclusive
information about the ongoing coronavirus, its news within the country and goes over the ways
to treat the deadly disease.

These students are as follows: Arham Ishtiaq, Sara Mehmood, Maaz Arshad, Maheen Anees,
Areeba Rafiq and Syeda Fatima Hashmi. These students have created an app within 72 hours
for the ‘Invent for the Planet’ competition that will be held in Texas A&M University on March 31,
2020. According to the team, this app will also be available in different hospitals, private clinics
and airports in Pakistan.

This team recently spoke to Independent Urdu and focused on the purpose and features of the
app in its effort to counteract coronavirus. One member said that: “There are lots of
organizations globally who are working to fight coronavirus. Yet, no one has so far come up with

the actual cause of the disease. With this app, we aim to provide awareness, cause and
prevention about the disease”. They also wnet on to state that the app uses artificial intelligence
to identify which part of the world is getting affected by coronavirus and what might be the
potential cause of that virus in that particular region. One function of the app is to gather
information that ranges from airports, hospitals, different research centres, as well as
information about coronavirus patients and their symptoms. The other function uses AI using
large data to predict where this disease is spreading and what precautionary measures can be
taken to fight with it.
