“I really want to solve problems in my community wherever possible,” says Rodrigs. “I felt this was the right time to pivot slightly and focus on an application that could help people.” Using GPS technology, the app can detect when users are away from home and issue reminders to don masks and gloves. It also includes a COVID-19 self-assessment tool as well as links to health-care resources and news feeds related to the pandemic.
