Shwaas helps "trained" frontline workers and caregivers to screen and triage patients with COVID like symptoms. The app helps them to decide whether a person with Covid-like symptoms can be managed at home without consulting a doctor (Green), needs consultation (Yellow) or needs admission and detailed work up at a hospital (Red). This could benefit organisations/groups working with communities.
The app is co-developed by Jan Swasthya Sahyog (http://jssbilaspur.org/) and Samanvay Research And Development Foundation (http://samanvayfoundation.org/).
Shwaas follows protocols established by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) with modifications suggested by some doctors working in rural India.
Early detection of pneumonia in Covid as well as non-Covid patients.
