**Main Objective**
As a team, we propose a mobile application that assists patients to detect chest
disease (covid-19, pneumonia) very quickly by just safely staying at home.
As a solution for taking the risk of meeting the doctor at a hospital during a
global pandemic situation, spending extra money for PCR tests, etc.,
**Main Research questions**
Covid-19 has become the foremost lung-related disease now a days with the
ongoing pandemic situation. Therefore, it has become vital to identify patients
as soon as possible and to differentiate Covid-19 patients from other patients
with lung-related diseases like pneumonia. A major problem when doing this is
the time it takes for the results to come out from the existing testing methods.
Even though methods that can generate faster results exist these methods are too
expensive for third-world countries like Sri Lanka. Sometimes the accuracy of a
PCR test is in a low level compared to technologies like identifying covid-19
using CT scan. When it comes to the technical side it takes lots of time to the
image uploading and processing part. Is one of the commonly found difficulties
in existing applications.
Chest X-Rays are a cheap and faster method that is used to diagnose other
lung-related diseases like Pneumonia, covid-19. This research will be focused
on the possibility of using chest X-Rays to identify Covid-19 and differentiate
them from other selected lung-related diseases.
