Launched in October 2020, the CoronAtlas dashboard is an online tool for the general public that provides tailored content about COVID-19-related state actions, health metrics, and resources. The project was developed by CodeX Residential Fellow Stephen Caines and CoronAtlas Chief Product Officer, Daniel Carvajal. The Principal Investigator of the project is CodeX Research Director, Michael Genesereth.
The project combines three key pieces of information:
- State actions on behalf of governors in each state via the National Governors Association
- Health data automatically collected via the COVID Tracking project API for each jurisdiction covered
- Tailored resources in a variety of areas that cover current information concerning government, health, housing/evictions, business openings, courts, family/child care, education, employment, elections, and travel
The project aims to establish new data standards for localized resources to the public. CoronAtlas addresses three prominent issues facing Americans, all of which will also continue after the pandemic subsides. The three pain points are misinformation, the siloing of great institutional resources, and addressing latent issues individuals may be facing. For more information please see this article.
