Analysis of an infectious disease contagion monitoring system within a company through the use of graph-oriented databases

Abstract

Throughout history, various infectious diseases have been presented, which, over time, have been eradicated and/or controlled by vaccines and drugs, however, this does not leave the population exempt from outbreaks or new infectious diseases; in fact, with the emergence and worldwide spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the lack of policies within companies for a correct management of contagion control between its members, causing the work stoppage for indefinite periods, as shown in the studies carried out by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) in the Survey on the Economic Impact Generated by COVID-19 in Companies (ECOVID-IE). Currently there are tools that allow the detection and control of some diseases, however, they are not applicable to any environment and, above all, most of them are only useful for infectious diseases and specific contexts. That is why the objective of this article is to show the analysis of the requirements of a system that allows monitoring the contagions of infectious diseases that occur within a company, using a graph-oriented base, two mobile applications and a Web application, to provide timely information to the management of the company.
