With a view to track willing plasma donors, a mobile application was launched on Wednesday in Delhi. The app COPAL-19 was launched on the occasion of National Doctors Day.
COPAL-19 has been developed by Dr. Abhinav Singh and his his team with the help of IIT-Delhi students. The app is equipped to track discharged patients of AIIMS who can be potential plasma donors.
It keeps data of all the Covid-19 recovered patients along with ones who are undergoing treatment at AIIMS. The blood groups of the patients are also recorded in the app to ensure a hassle free searching.
The COPAL-19 app is available for AIIMS patients for now. It will be made available to all soon. So far, 70 blood donors have been arranged through this app, informed Dr. Singh.
