In a bid to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission to the health staff at Visakha Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS), the Eastern Naval Command has provided a remote monitoring facility to keep a tab on the vital parameters of COVID-19 patients. The request was put forth by the Director of the VIMS, when ENC handed over the Portable Multifeed Oxygen Manifold, a few weeks ago in the wake of the coronavirus.
The facility includes monitoring all patients simultaneously or selecting as required including zooming to one patient, and an audio alarm.

Therefore, a doctor can at any time monitor his 48 patients in ICU. The conceptualization, to final implementation at VIMS and handing over to its Director VIMS, was completed in six days.
