A community solution to ensure reliable resource allocation in the fight against COVID-19
Where people help each other
An aggregate app for crowdsourcing and resource allocation
To fight against the recent outbreak of covid19 cases and the lack of resources in India, we are launching a decentralized web app, Karuna, for crowdsourcing information and providing real time updates of beds, oxygen and hospital supplies in India.
This is a volunteer effort powered by the PathCheck foundation.
