When the second wave of covid hit, India and its healthcare system was ill-equipped to handle the caseload. So Dr. Sunil Gokavi and the team came up with a makeshift facility to handle the patient load.
The process of interaction and development of the product was very smooth, progressive, and meaningful. Timelines were adhered to, communication was clear and the product was prepared such that we were ready for the next wave.
We are confident that had it been necessary for us to care for more Covid patients, we could have done so with the ability to analyze our data and thus contribute to more effective care, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Sidharth.

We quickly developed an application on top of EHRBase and Medblocks UI and deployed it on DigitalOcean using their managed PostgreSQL database.
This is to state that I had engaged Dr. Sidharth to help us with digitization and analysis of data at a Covid facility (the Vijay Williams Covid Care Centre) I had initiated in Dwarka, New Delhi, in May - August 2021.
It involved setting up a system from scratch, passing on the type of information my team needed to be able to analyze our patient data toward identifying key factors in the recovery of de-saturating patients suffering from Covid.
The process of interaction and development of the product was very smooth, progressive, and meaningful. Timelines were adhered to, communication was clear and the product was prepared such that we were ready for the next wave, which ultimately did not come.
Hence we had to shut down our facility, but are confident that had it been necessary for us to care for more Covid patients, we could have done so with the ability to analyze our data and thus contribute to more effective care, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Sidharth.
The fact that Dr. Sidharth so willingly gave of his time and expertise at no cost is very deeply appreciated and reflects the true spirit of service that was the need of the hour in a time of great crisis.
Heartfelt thanks to you, Dr. Sidharth, and God bless!
