COVID-19 monitoring tool for Saudi Arabia

Project overview

The global spread of COVID-19 is a crucial thing to track and monitor on the governmental level. And only up-to-date web solutions can help governments register the contagion. That’s why different countries and regions have been implementing localized systems where the data on the virus spread and new COVID-19 cases are accumulated in real time. And that’s what we contributed to with the monitoring system we created for Saudi Arabia’s state-wide online data hub backed up by the government.

Business challenge

To work on the government-backed project based in Saudi Arabia, we needed to get proper royal permissions and outline an extensive existing system’s specifics within a reasonable timeframe. In a nutshell, we were looking for a way to make pandemic-related datasets dynamic, accessible, and usable in various ways by all interested users. The ultimate goal was to make the information more flexible, integrative, and valuable to our Saudi Arabian partners.

Technical challenges

We were ultimately looking at creating a web software solution that is a simple dashboard on the outside and a complex online data system at its core. That web app was to be an open data dashboard focused on COVID-19 cases tracking in Saudi Arabia. The dashboard was decided to be equipped with CMS capabilities for interacting with organization-based datasets, visualizing data, API opportunities, and even identity management.

Solution delivered

The web application we built is an easy-to-use yet powerful monitoring system focused on monitoring and summarizing COVID-19 spread in Saudi Arabia in real time by categories (including confirmed cases, active and recovered patients, and lethal cases by regions and timeframes). The data is dynamically compiled into datasets that can be used by organizations or users for further analysis, integration, and management. The system should be an efficient contribution to the existing portal.
