2. Patients report their daily symptoms through the mobile app
3. The hospital is notified when specific thresholds are met and can then directly request the individual to make an appointment.

• Information and instructions about COVID-19 published by healthcare authorities and health agencies
• A daily symptom checker – this can be configured based on specific hospitals instructions. It can monitor signs such as fever, coughing, sore throat and breathing problems
• Secure communication channel between the individual and hospital.

Features of the monitoring dashboard designed for healthcare professionals:

• Identifies patients who require further attention
• Care personnel can monitor, periodically, the symptoms and well-being of at-risk individuals
• Alerts if a patient or individual has specific symptoms or exceeds thresholds
• Secure messaging allows patient’s risk-assessment based communication through which care personnel can contact those at risk or provide guidelines for home quarantine, self-isolation etc.
