Covid-19 Early Detection Information System With Mobile Application-Based Forced Cough Records

Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by the coronavirus. In 2020, the spread of covid 19 had its peak in Indonesia. Based on data as in 2020 until 2023, from the World Health Organization, the cumulative total of cases in Indonesia is 16 million. As of mid-July 2023, COVID-19 cases are still evolving despite a decline. There has been a total of 6 million positive cases in the past 4 months. The spread of Covid-19 occurs very quickly and widely because it spreads from direct human contact with droplets from the respiratory tract of an infected person. At present, to be able to detect Covid-19 early, it is carried out using rapid antigen, swab, and PCR tests which are relatively expensive and require a long testing time, trained testing personnel, and complicated equipment. Forced coughing is one of the methods offered to replace the existing method. Making applications using forced cough recordings can be an alternative solution for early detection of Covid-19 through an Android-based application. The process of building this system adapts the Extreme Programming method. By using extreme programming, it will accelerate the development of the system and its changes. The system result testing is the value for strongly agree is 68.13% strongly agree and 26.96% agree in making this application another alternative solution for early detection of Covid-19 infection. Although COVID-19 cases have decreased, it is hoped that by using this system, it can detect COVID-19 quickly and without requiring any cost.
