Medical diagnostics distributor, Redbird has
launched a COVID-19 Daily Check-in App and
Symptom Tracker in its bid to counter the spread of
Coronavirus across the African continent. Accessible as a
browser-based app via, Redbird’s COVID-19 check-in app
is a way for every person to self-report symptoms without
needing to visit a healthcare facility and therefore aiding social
distancing. The solution will enable public health officials
from Ghana to see a real-time map of where patients are
self-reporting symptoms in order to follow-up directly
with high-risk patients. Through this platform, Redbird
provides hospitals with digital record keeping and
the potential to keep unnecessary patients from
visiting hospitals.

The Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Foundation
are sharing key lessons and experience from doctors and
other medical administrators and staff at the First Affiliated
Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, who were
at the frontline of COVID-19 treatment in China and crucial
to slowing its spread. In the form of a digital handbook, the
medical administrators and staff cover and share globally what
they’ve learned, from screening to diagnosis and treatment
of patients who contracted COVID-19. The handbook is
available in seven languages: Chinese, English, French,
Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Turkish, with more
languages coming soon.
