On Mar. 20, 2020, PRA Health Sciences announced the commercial availability of the COVID-19 Monitoring Program, a mobile app-driven, tiered initiative that allows employers, payers, providers and health systems to track the health and well-being of individuals who may be asymptomatic, exposed or diagnosed with COVID-19 during the pandemic.

By downloading the program’s app on their personal mobile devices, participants in the program were able to report key health metrics related to COVID-19 such as body temperature, heart rate and pulse oximetry. Participants benefited from PRA’s nurse-led clinical call center staff, who monitor the information reported through the app on a daily basis. The trained staff can address physical symptoms, as well as the social and psychological impacts they may be experiencing.
