Calling All Doctors & Coders: Global Hackathon to Defeat COVID-19: Connecting physicians & developers globally in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic
Our application is a web app. It has a public facing interface, and a doctor/healthcare worker facing interface. Users can search through a database of previously asked questions about COVID-19 (or add their question to the database if it hasn't already been asked), and obtain answers from medical professionals around the globe.

Our realtime database will contain the most urgent questions and answers on COVID-19 and publish it to the world. With our app in the hands of front line workers who have or are already experiencing the first wave, they can share their knowledge and help the health care workers who will be hit next.
