COVID-19 Contact Tracing

COVID-19 Contact Tracing is the process of identifying all people that a COVID-19 patient has come in contact with in the last two weeks. This project deals with the development of an application that simulates contact tracing, collecting virtual Bluetooth MAC Addresses of the contacts of the user and notifying his close contacts in case of a positive COVID-19 test. The application was tested on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 2GB RAM, running Raspberry Pi OS Lite and working as an embedded computer.

Build instructions
