The 108MB Vee+Svasa app is now free on the Apple App Store, according to a company statement issued on August 18.

FREMONT, CA: A new app developed to guide people isolating at home after testing Covid-19 positive on their smartphones, developed by a team of developers in India and supported by Johns Hopkins University, is now available on the Apple iOS App Store.

The Vee+ Svasa app, developed by Bengaluru-based and New York-based IT services firm Vee Technologies and made possible by the Valliappa Foundation, provides educational videos, information about accessing local medical care and Covid vaccines, as well as other content sourced by medical experts directly to users' smartphones.

The 108MB Vee+Svasa app is now available for free on the Apple App Store, the company said in a statement August 18.

"We reached out to Johns Hopkins India Institute to give access to the globally accepted standard of care protocols for home isolation cases. For Indians battling the Covid pandemic amid the threat of a third Covid wave, this would be immensely helpful," said Chocko Valliappa, trustee of the Valliappa Foundation.

The 108MB Vee+Svasa app is now free on the Apple App Store, according to a company statement issued on August 18.

The home quarantine app contains a wealth of genuine information varying from how to treat oneself at home to how to isolate oneself and protect others in the family, as well as tips for caregivers on measuring oxygen saturation levels and an easily understandable Covid treatment flowchart.

The app's information and health protocols are sourced only from reliable sources, such as Johns Hopkins University, the Indian Council of Medical Research, and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.
