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.
