Corona-Care 3.0.0

Corona Care is a platform developed to assist healthcare providers in their research efforts to monitor COVID-19 symptoms in potentially infected patients. Co-created by distinguished health systems such as Mass General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, this platform is tailored for direct usage by patients who have undergone evaluation at a medical clinic or emergency room and require instructions upon returning home.

The platform incorporates a mobile application that tracks individuals' transitions between low and high-risk groups, offers guidance, and suggests precautions for managing symptoms. Healthcare providers can access a dedicated portal to categorize patient cases according to severity, minimizing the risk of community transmission by equipping all patients with necessary knowledge and resources to address low-risk symptoms from home. Moreover, the system tracks symptom progression in higher-risk patients.

While encouraging patients to remain at home if they are not classified as high risk, Corona Care refrains from dispensing medical advice. For health-related guidance, users are directed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at: CDC Website.

Data privacy is strictly maintained, with no information utilized for commercial purposes and all data encrypted. Noteworthy features of the platform include:

• Mitigation of public spread through educating patients on managing low-risk symptoms at home.
• Personalized monitoring of symptom progression in high-risk patients using tailored surveys.
• Easy patient registration via facility-specific QR codes distributed by healthcare providers.
• Integration with various health and information systems such as Fitbit, Withings, HealthKit, CCD, CDA, DICOM, HL7, FHIR, and patient portals.
• Efficient mass enrollment through text message invites for population registration.
• Scheduled delivery of initial and follow-up surveys to patients via the mobile app.
• Color-coded presentation of patient survey results based on case severity in the provider portal (Command Center).
• Customizable surveys targeting specific patient groups at defined intervals through push notifications, emails, or text messages.
• Provision of instructions to patients within the app interface.
• Bidirectional instant messaging and video calls between healthcare providers and patients.
• An AI-driven chatbot for enhanced patient support and effective query responses.
