Coronavirus over the globe has been
expanding every day and governments are looking for practical measures to
control the spread of this pandemic. India is in the state of lockdown for more
than 45 days and the virus is expanding over the country even though the rate
is quite slow when compared to other infected nations. Government of India led
by Prime minister Narendra Modi is taking several steps to control the spread
and also generate awareness among the citizens. A dedicated coronavirus
tracking app called ‘Aarogya Setu’ was launched by the Ministry of Electronics
and IT that will support people and the government to find the chance of
getting affected by the Coronavirus.
How Aarogya Setu mobile app tracks the spread of coronavirus?
Aarogya Setu is a Sanskrit Language word
that indicates “A bridge of health”. The app has been downloaded by millions of
users in very few days. The purpose of developing this app was due to the idea
that Coronavirus spreads via direct contact with infected people and via
infected respiratory droplets that maybe being on surfaces for some hours. It
occurs mainly when an infected person coughs or sneezes without covering their
nose and mouth. Since contact is the main reason, this app tells whether a user
is at risk of exposure by assessing the location and scanning the database of
recognized positive cases. It will also help governments to accurately know the
condition of spreading. Aarogya Setu is available for both android and I Phone
users in Google play store or Apple’s App Store.

How does the
Aarogya Setu mobile app work?
- Contact-tracing
apps like Aarogya Setu apps notify the users about the recognized
Coronavirus patients if they are near the location. As you download the app, you will have to record the details like phone number, age, gender,
address, and provide a self-assessment of your health. The app identifies any other nearby devices with the same app installed. But it needs you to keep the Bluetooth and Location always on. GPS will track the user location and Bluetooth will exchange information with nearby devices that have the app installed.
- If a person is tested positive then his information is listed in the app. The app will suggest all the persons who came in association with that infected person. By examining the database of known cases, the phone area and Bluetooth will know if you are in a chance of any risk. The app will estimate the rate of danger depending on the estimated parameters for a person who is examined positive and his travel history. The user will be informed immediately if he enters any zone of an infected patient. It will also provide full instructions on how to self-isolate
and necessary action items in case if you are seeing symptoms of the disease.
- The app will store and transfer all your accumulated data in an encrypted form. By looking at the coded data, it will pass the data to the server in an indefinite form to find if the user is nearby any infected person. It will use the Bluetooth characteristic to check if you have been within six feet of an infected individual.
- The app will examine and guess the risk of
viruses based on the interactions, give appropriate advice, and also provide crucial information to government authorities about the traveling of suspected individuals. If a person is tested positive for the epidemic or at risk due to close contact with an infected individual, then these data along with the features of persons who were in contact with you for over 30 days are assigned to the government accessible cloud.
- The app is secured and the privacy policy tells that your data will not be shared with any third-parties. It has also helpful features like Chatbot to help you in clearing your doubts about coronavirus symptoms, latest updates from the health department, and also helplines for each state in the country.
- The app will aid the government in taking
timely actions in stopping the spread of the epidemic by ensuring the isolation of all suspected patients. The location history of users will be automatically deleted from the app and cloud after 30 days but the cycle will continue. The government holds the right to share this information with the necessary government medical and research bodies. Governments need to access these data to generate reports and graphics to know the risk of infections across a specific area.
- The government is preparing to use the app as
an e-pass once the lockdown is lifted. It was indicated by the prime minister Narendra Modi during his last speech. This means that a person would be provided to travel only if he has the app and entered all the necessary details in it.
- But, for the app to work efficiently the
people who are in the vicinity must also have the Aarogya Setu app
installed on their devices. This is the reason that the government is
urging everyone to download the app on their smartphone and share it with
their known ones to install the app. There is a share option on the
Aarogya Setu App that allows the users to share the app regularly.
- The Aarogya Setu app is experiencing many developments for integrating the e-pass system and other more modern self-assessment methods. The government is trying hard to spread awareness among people to download and use the app on their devices. Even schools are sending awareness messages to parents to download and use the app for their safety. But users need to be informed that there are many third-party apps on the play store with the name “Aarogya or Arogya”. Care should be taken to download and use only the official version of the app for both Android and iOS app development platforms.
