Impressed By Bihar App For Covid Patients At Home, PM Seeks Info For Nationwide Use: Report

As part of the project, health workers visit patients in home isolation to record temperature and oxygen level daily and the data is fed to the app.

An innovative Home Isolation Tracking (HIT) App developed by the Bihar government to monitor the condition of Covid patients recuperating at their homes has drawn special praise from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Mr Modi came to know about the HIT App while speaking to Patna district magistrate Chandrasekhar Singh during an interaction with officials of several districts of nine states on Tuesday. Impressed with the concept, the Prime Minister ordered to send its details to the Union Health Ministry for its utilisation across the country, Mr Singh said. "The health department has sent one-page detail of the HIT COVID App to the Union Health Ministry," Additional Chief Secretary, Health, Pratyaya Amrit told PTI on Wednesday.
