Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic brought down the entire world to a standstill. There was a sudden surge in the infection occurrences referred to as waves during which hospitals and treatment facilities experienced multiple challenges because of sudden and unexpected demands. Timely diagnosis, treatment, and medication are very important for the survival of the patients. India, being the second most populous nation in the world, required technology based innovations to overcome the Covid challenges. As an answer to this challenge, we identified multiple sources on the internet providing reliable information for relief measures and collected data and presented them in one platform. This helps in connecting the affected users from the Internet, social media platforms etc to the right facility in the fastest and most efficient way possible by aggregating and disseminating the relevant data. This one-stop website with all the imperative features directly benefits citizens/general public and help desk / emergency responders.
