PRA Health Sciences launches COVID-19 Monitoring Program

KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 -- 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 indepth 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.
