| Sumario: |
The emergence of the current COVID-19 Pandemic; due to the spread of the virus SARS-CoV-2, has led most countries throughout the world, including Panama, to establish mandatory biosecurity approaches to reduce the number of infections from this virus. In our country, the reopening of establishments, businesses, recreational areas, and other places with massive attendance and the continuance of their operations are directly conditioned to the fulfillment of the mandatory biosecurity guidelines established previously by health authorities and the national government. However, for the citizens, it is difficult to know whether these establishments are following the biosecurity guidelines and to determine if it is safe to attend these places. For these reasons, throughout this paper, we proposed the development of ABI, a mobile application that will let users check and report in real-time how different establishments are following biosecurity measures. Hence, with the diffusion of valuable information to citizens, the level of trust will increase when they decide to leave their households. Furthermore, the user-centered design framework was used to develop the prototype of the application. During the validation phase, it was determined that the application would contribute to increasing the amount of trust of the users when leaving their houses. Moreover, an important level of satisfaction from the prototype was expressed by the users, this indicates that the application is efficient, easy to use, and that they will recommend it to others. For these reasons, we can infer that the application would have an important level of acceptance within the Panamanian population. |
