Doctors of AIIMS with the help of IIT Delhi students have developed an app called COPAL-19 to track real-time COVID-19 patients in AIIMS, as they can become potential plasma donors after 28 days of recovery.
The app will have details of patients who have already been discharged from AIIMS, those currently undergoing treatment and their blood groups. This information will help patients in need of plasma therapy to get it on time without any hassle.
Once the app goes live, anyone will be able to register as a plasma donor by simply downloading the app and filling in the details in a simple format. AIIMS blood bank is also linked with the app so they will also get the details of the needy patient and help him/her get the plasma. Patients also can register themselves and get details of plasma donors matching their blood group.
