India has been promoting Arogya Sethu incessantly, whenever corona is herd an echo of arogya Sethu is reflected back. This article gives you an insight of what it is and how it is helpful.
It won't be an exaggeration to say that coronavirus is responsible for the current angst of human life. While the entire world is leaving no stone unturned to curb this pandemic it still continues to spread like a wildfire. We see that technology has played a substantial role in tackling COVID-19. The success stories of South Korea are sung everywhere and this has inspired the countries across the globe to develop their own contact tracing apps in the process of endeavourment of controlling the virus spread.
Right from China, the UK, America, France almost all the countries are using these contact tracing apps. According to a University of Oxford simulation study, for these apps to function with utmost efficacy at least 60% of the population has to use it. India also entered this channel by releasing its own version called "Arogya setu" metaphorically implying to Ramayana that says, a bridge that paves a way to kill the fiend in this case COVID-19.
Since India has a myriad of languages, the developers put an effort to make this app available in most of the local languages as well. When you register yourself on the app, unique anonymous device identification is generated. This process of Linking the device identification to the mobile number is secure and encrypted. You don't need to share any personal information after this one time process. All the future interactions with the server are done through this unique identification code. After this, It takes you to a chatbot, which takes a mini quiz about yourself which includes the questions on COVID symptoms, if you have a travel history, if you have any other diseases as such and based on your answers the judgment and conclusions are received.
Social distancing and home quarantine are the only weapons we have right now. This application tracks your location all the time and takes permission to let your device be visible to nearby devices for 120secs. This system records contact between people indirectly, that is through their phones within 10m of range. The app stores the encrypted interaction of their phones.If you come in contact with any person diagnosed with coronavirus this application alerts you. As such when a person is diagnosed his entire data on whom he met and where he traveled is also figured out with the help of this app.
India doesn't have strong data privacy laws, how safe is our data is the utmost concern. The sole proprietor of your data is the Indian government. This information is stored only for 30 days after which it is deleted. The data of COVID-19 positive persons are deleted after 45 or 60 days based on their risk of fatality.
This app is available currently on Android and IOS. More than 50 million downloads have already been made. The government is effectively utilizing this application to fight the coronavirus and is successful in doing productive contact tracing. I urge all the Indians to install it, form our own vanar sena, and use this setu to kill this virus and save our motherland.
