What's the story
In his latest endeavor to help the country battle the coronavirus pandemic, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has teamed up with the Nashik City Police to launch a centralized online health system for the cops.
The initiative will help monitor the health and fitness of the police personnel in a faster and more reliable manner.
Here's more on this.

How does the online health system work?
As part of the new system, police personnel will be handed smart wrist bands, which will record necessary data.
These bands will be synced with a centralized online dashboard, that will display vital information like body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure.
In case any member shows signs of infection, they can be isolated from the rest of the force and provided early help.
