IIIT-Delhi Designs Mobile Application to Create Awareness Against COVID-19
April 14, 2020: IIIT Delhi - Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology has designed an android mobile application named ‘WashKaro’ to create awareness among the society about the Coronavirus. The app acts as a complete infodemic control system and was also presented at World Health Organisation (WHO), Geneva on April 8, through video conferencing. The users can listen or read the information from government advisories.
Benefits of application includes:
- A Symptom Tracker for people to know if they are safe. There is also an in-built CovidTracer, a tool that tells people if they are near to any COVID-19 positive person. The technology uses a Bluetooth connection for establishing communication. It does not require and data connection or storage space on the device
- Use of Artificial Intelligence technology to cross-refer news with WHO documents. This ensures that people are shielded from fake information and hoaxes
In addition, IIIT has also released a website called CoronaActionIndia

In addition, IIIT has also released a website called CoronaActionIndia, a revamped portal that houses all policy updates and validated information along with a dashboard to make it easy to navigate.
The creation of patient management and tracking tool is another successful initiative. Given the increasing number of patients every day, it can be helpful to have an organised online ledger that can track and monitor the affected individuals. The information is sourced from trusted sources such as WHO, public advisories from ICMR and reputed institutions such as AIIMS, New Delhi.
