Even before we get to the details, the first thing we like about this home-grown, home quarantine app is that it doesn’t ask you for your personal information—not even an email ID to proceed. That is such a relief in times like these where every app is after your information, building a goldmine. Next up, it asks to select from five languages in a clutter-free interface, thus catering to a larger audience. The app Vee+Svasa has a wealth of authentic information on day-wise quarantining and clinical guidance for treating oneself at home, isolating and protecting others in the family, tips for caregivers on measuring oxygen saturation levels as well as an easy-to-understand Covid treatment flowchart. Everything is labelled clearly and is easy to find. There are several short informational videos from the doctors at Johns Hopkins University School Of Medicine as well. These are dubbed in regional languages which makes it accessible to a larger audience in the country. You can even look up bed and vaccine availability.
