Description
In a post-pandemic world, the need for real-time, accessible disease tracking has never been more critical. While global COVID-19 heat maps were widely utilized during the pandemic, local virus tracking tools have since diminished, leaving a gap in public health awareness.
V.O.T.S. is an interactive application that visualizes real time disease outbreaks through an interactive heatmap, enabling users to track virus trends by county, severity, and timeframe. The system integrates public health data from trusted sources such as the CDC, empowering individuals and healthcare professionals to make informed decisions. In addition, V.O.T.S. enhances accessibility with multilingual support, symptoms assessment, and alert notifications to keep communities informed.
