Abstract

COVID-19, which occurred in 2019, has a strong contagious power, has serious symptoms of infection and after-effects, and death in severe cases depending on the underlying disease and symptoms. As COVID-19 is highly contagious, in Korea, screening clinics have been set up across the country to determine whether or not to be positive for COVID-19 and isolate the infected to prevent the spread of COVID-19. However, there are cases where COVID-19 test applicants flock to screening clinics and cannot receive tests due to longer waiting times, and there is a risk that secondary infections may occur in the atmosphere. In this study, the reservation and notification system can be applied from the existing screening care system to solve spatial constraints, reducing waiting time with screening appointments, and solving population bottlenecks to screening clinics. Taking the COVID-19 pandemic as an experience, we propose a system that can present directions in future pandemic situations. To process real-time data, we use Google's Firebase to use Realtime Database in the cloud environment. Because a real-time database is used, users can check the status of screening clinics in real time through the app, make reservations, and receive notifications about test reservations.

2019년 발생한 코로나는 전파력이 강하고 감염 증상, 후유증 등이 심각하며 기저질환 및 증상에 따라 심한 경우 사망한다. 코로나는 전파력이 강한 만큼 국내에서는 코로나 확산세를 막기 위해 코로나 양성 여부를 판별하고 감염자를 격리하기 위해 전국에 선별 진료소를 설치했다. 그러나 코로나 검사 희망자들이 선별 진료소로 몰려 검사 대기시간이 길어져 검사를 받지 못하는 경우가 발생했으며 대기 중에 2차 감염이 발생할 수 있는 위험성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 선별 진료 시스템에 예약 및 알림 시스템을 적용하여 공간적 제약 문제를 해결하여 선별 진료 예약으로 대기시간을 줄일 수 있으며 선별 진료소로의 인구 병목 현상을 해소할 수 있다. 코로나 팬데믹 사태를 삼아 향후 발생할 수 있는 또 다른 팬데믹 사태에서 방향성을 제시할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 실시간 데이터를 처리하기 위해 Google의 Firebase를 활용하여 클라우드 환경의 Realtime Database를 사용한다. 실시간 Database를 사용하기 때문에 사용자는 앱을 통해서 선별 진료소의 현황을 실시간으로 파악 및 예약을 할 수 있고 검사 예약에 대한 알림을 받을 수 있다.
