Government Of India's app to connect health services with the people of India to fight COVID-19
- Aarogya Setu is a mobile application developed by the Government of India to connect essential health services with the people of India in our combined fight against COVID-19.
- The App is aimed at augmenting the initiatives of the Government of India, particularly the Department of Health, in proactively reaching out to and informing the users of the app regarding risks, best practices and relevant advisories pertaining to the containment of COVID-19.
- The core function of the app remains the same as the beta version: using your phone’s location data and Bluetooth to assess if you’ve been near a person who was infected by COVID-19, by looking through a database of known cases.
- Once installed in aa smartphone, the app detects other nearby devices with AarogyaSetu installed.
- This app can then calculate the risk of infection based on sophisticated parameters if any of these contacts are tested positive.
- This App will help the Government take necessary timely steps for assessing the risk of spread of COVID-19 infection and ensuring isolation where required.
How Aarogya Setu App Works:
- The app specifies that all your data is on the device in an encrypted form. Looking at the code, it sends your data to the server in an anonymized form to check if you’re near an infected person. To do that, the app will rely on Bluetooth to check if you’ve been within six feet of an infected person.
- The app shares your data with the government in case you’ve been tested positive for coronavirus or have been in close contact with a person who was tested positive. For what it’s worth, the app’s privacy policy suggests your data won’t be shared with third-parties.
- Aarogya Setu also has some nifty features such as a chatbot to help you determine if you may have coronavirus symptoms, rolling updates from the health ministry, and a list of helpline numbers for each state in India.
- With this app, the government intends to limit community spread in conjunction with the ongoing 21-day lockdown.
- The app is available currently on iOS and Android and supports 11 languages. The app might not show up on the Play Store search just yet, but it’ll be listed soon. Now to see how the Indian government encourages people to use it.
