Imran Hossain, A K M Mahmudul Haque, Abdul Kadir

Abstract:
A pandemic of this nature, like COVID-19, can be fought with the aid of technology. Mobile applications are run on a tiny hand-held device that is portable, user-friendly, and accessible from anywhere. Youth and society are impacted by the smartphone app. An Android application can be crucial for empowering youth in a pandemic crisis like COVID-19. The goal of research is to expose and dispel false information about pandemics and raise public awareness of them. Additionally, it hopes to inspire younger people to volunteer in the event of such an incident. The researcher used Android Studio and a Firebase real-time database system to create the Android application. User experience data is analyzed based on a frequency table. The majority of users use this application to communicate with the authority (hotline number). About 12% of users specifically receive support from reading volunteer success stories. This app is really beneficial for empowering young people. This application will help them do this by providing useful information about different scholarships, fellowships, and youth empowerment. This Android application helps to provide accurate, up-to-date information about the disease and its spread. It enables people to take the necessary precautions and reduce the risk of spreading the virus. This application can provide an invaluable opportunity for youth to get involved in the decision-making process in their community. Users can get access to vital services and resources, including expert medical advice and transportation. It can also help reduce the fear and spread of misinformation about a pandemic as it can help young people better understand symptoms and modes of transmission. A nation can successfully combat any pandemic by introducing this form of application.
