This feasibility study is being conducted to understand how discharged emergency department patients who were tested for the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) engage with a symptom-tracking web application. Study participants that are enrolled in the study will be asked to enter daily information about their health into the CovidX web application (app.). In addition, patients will answer questions regarding anxiety levels, use a pulse oximeter to record information (if you own one or are given one). The investigators predict that participants will be able to engage with the CovidX web application over several days to weeks for the purposes of symptom tracking, and may have decreased anxiety over the study period.
Other: Symptoms entered into the CovidX application
Participants are asked to enter symptoms into the CovidX application at least daily for 30 days. Additionally, they will enter demographic information and some survey information will be collected.
