COVID Suraksha

COVID Suraksha is a suite of Android mobile application and a web based application

developed by National Informatics Centre(NIC) Assam for the Hojai District Administration

as per requirements of Dr. Sadnek Singh, IAS, Deputy Commissioner, Hojai to monitor the

daily visits of the Health Workers to COVID-19 Home Quarantine cases and ensure that the

person with such cases get medical check-up regularly.

There are several citizens who are given Home Quarantine instructions and each of them has

been assigned one surveillance team consisting of ASHA, ANM, MPW and other Health

Worker to check them daily. There was no proper mechanism for the District Administration

to monitor the visits of the health workers. The app will require that the health workers

capture the details of the visits and this will ensure their timely visits.

Approach:

A unique QR Code is assigned to each of the Home Quarantined person and pasted on their

room/home. Health worker will visit the home of the Quarantine and scan the QR code after

a medical check-up. The Concerned Officials of the District Administration can now view visit

status of the health workers in a web dashboard and ensure that each home quarantined

persons got medical checkup.

1. Health Worker can login to the app using provided credentials.

2. Dashboard showing profile details of the Health worker.

3. An inbuilt QR Scanner to scan the QR code of the Home Quarantine.
