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.
