CEBU CITY – A town in Cebu province has developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered application in tracking residents within the municipality as part of an effort to combat the spread of the deadly coronavirus disease especially during the general community quarantine (GCQ) period.
Consolacion town Mayor Joannes Alegado said personnel stationed at quarantine control points are now using the Conan app to identify the destination of quarantine pass holders. Since the municipality of Consolacion has been placed under GCQ, more residents, especially workers, are leaving their homes, Alegado said.
“The application would help monitor their locations on a particular day. Quarantine passes are scanned every time the holder goes through checkpoints, which would be downloaded to the database,” he said.
Through Conan’s location logger, the database would help health authorities in the contact tracing efforts in case they discovered positive Covid-19 patients within the town.
Alegado also said members of the local police force can also use the Conan app in scanning the workers' permit and authority to operate of businessmen upon passing through the checkpoints.
The Conan automated chat assistant also provides quick responses to queries related to Covid-19 as well as updates from the local government, he said, adding, the system is available 24/7.
Michael Dino, the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas, lauded the Conan app. His spokesman, Titus Borromeo, said the app is helping Consolacion town keep track of the movement of its residents as part of the efforts to combat the coronavirus disease.
