COVID-19: PRA Health Sciences launches monitoring program
KUALA LUMPUR: PRA Health Sciences recently announced the commercial availability of the COVID-19 Monitoring Program, a mobile app-driven, tiered initiative.
According to a statement, the programme allows employers, payers, providers and health systems to track the health and wellbeing of individuals who may be asymptomatic, exposed or diagnosed with COVID-19 during the pandemic.
Based on an individual’s COVID-19 disease status, they are assigned to one of three groups, namely the educational, quarantine and in-depth monitoring programme.
By downloading the programme’s app on their personal mobile devices, participants will be able to report key health metrics related to COVID-19, such as body temperature, heart rate and pulse oximetry.
In addition, participants report on symptoms of COVID-19 like shortness of breath, fatigue and changes in coughing.
Participants also benefit from PRA’s nurse-led clinical call centre staff, who monitor the information reported via the app on a daily basis.
The trained staff can address physical symptoms, as well as the social and psychological impacts they may be experiencing.
