The project is a web-based application that uses remote patient monitoring technology to enable clinicians to manage symptoms of Covid-19 positive patients and their contacts at home so they can continue to maintain self-isolation. The monitoring clinicians receive real-time data as soon as patients upload their daily monitoring plan. The alert feature in the programme enables monitoring clinicians to set priorities and respond to high-risk patients in a timely manner.

“While we are exercising social isolation, we must care for each other as one Jamat. Reach out to members of the Jamat who may benefit from your help while maintaining social distancing, such as assisting the elderly with online grocery shopping, or using online tools to virtually visit members of the Jamat who are in nursing homes. Let us find innovative ways to keep the spirit of seva alive.”
