ACTApp: A contact tracing and monitoring application with exposure notification

Abstract

In response to the global COVID-19 crisis, digital contact tracing emerged as a vital tool for mitigating viral transmission. Recognizing the limitations of manual systems within Batangas State University, the researchers conceptualized ACTApp, a mobile and web-based application designed to automate exposure notifications and health monitoring. The study leverages Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) and Wi-Fi technologies to enhance location tracking, while addressing the challenges of indoor accuracy and data synchronization. Grounded in the principles of responsive design and community-specific implementation, the project reflects a proactive approach to institutional health resilience.
