Aarogya Setu for Android

Aarogya Setu is a free health and fitness mobile application aimed at providing essential health services during the COVID-19 pandemic in India. Developed by NIC eGov Mobile Apps and supported by the Government of India, this application disseminates critical advisories related to the virus and offers health tips on prevention and management of symptoms. Users can access guides detailing disinfection methods and general health rules, enhancing public awareness and safety during the crisis.

The app features a self-assessment test to help users evaluate their health status, as well as a location-tracking system that alerts users if they are in proximity to confirmed COVID-19 cases. Aarogya Setu also provides contact numbers for COVID-19 help centers. However, concerns regarding privacy due to constant Bluetooth usage and the absence of a live infection counter suggest that further refinement is necessary to enhance its functionality and user trust.
