Long COVID Diary - Design and Development of a Support Application for People with Long COVID

Due to the COVID pandemic more and more people suffer from mid-to long-term problems associated with it. COVID can also cause a wide range of health issues over a longer period of time, which has been called Long COVID. Due to the wide range of symptoms and the fact that Long COVID is relatively new, there is a lack of applications supporting Long COVID patients. In this paper, a newly developed solution of a Long COVID patient support application is being discussed. It is based on the previous identification of requirements from questionnaires of patients with Long COVID, where they expressed their needs and wishes for such a solution with additional identified ones. This paper focuses on designing and developing an application containing the respective derived requirements to help and support people suffering from Long COVID.
