Cloudstrats, an IT firm based in Mumbai has developed "NARAD" a COVID Control Management App. It is designed to assist civic officials in fighting the war against the current pandemic. The solution has different role-based modules that covers complete journey of the COVID patient from being identified as a suspect to treatment and discharge along with a comprehensive analysis of patient indexing, contract / suspect tracing. With advanced features like Real-time Digital Surveillance, Disease Control & Outbreak Management it provides efficiency in management and tracking.

The solution uses intelligence to transform data into insights:

Detection via Notification and screening enables surveillance officers and doctors to detect diseases based on real time health facility data and automatic notification.

Validation via investigation and analysis enables decision makers to respond immediately to incoming information and to take adequate measures via public health officers.

Controlling via treatment and Containment: Information is made readily available for action and data quality assurance is performed as decontamination and isolation tasks are being carried out.

Few of the tools are:

1) Data Collection Tools [Hospital Beds, Equipment & Supplies etc]

2) Command and Control Hub [Mobile App for MoH Field Contact Officers etc]

3) Data Analytics [GIS Visualization, CCR and CMO Dashboard etc]

4) Workflow Automation [Capturing of data, Updates from Test Centers etc]

Data Collection Tools for Surveillance, Tracing, Managing the cases recorded, testing the data and for integration with ICMR.

Data Analytics for Containment, mapping, Cognitive services, Supplies management and gap analysis for real time dashboards.

Command and Control Hub for Field officers, Management of Hotspot Districts/ Municipalities.

Workflow automation of capturing data, lists and reminders for data entry and report generation to various authorities.
