Impact of
Pandemic
on Health & Lifestyle
The year 2020 was not easy. It brought with it some unseen challenges. A virus spread at an unprecedented speed, stormed the entire planet and the only thing that can stop it is a vaccine. Enough and more is being talked about the vaccines and the vaccination drive has started in India as well.
At GOQii, we were keen to understand what the citizens of India think about the vaccines. Despite the fact that India produces vaccines for the world, there has been scepticism regarding the vaccines. When asked about the Vaccine in November 2020, almost 53% were apprehensive about taking it, with women being more cautious than men. In December 2020, the respondents’ scepticism reduced, with 61% of Indians feeling positive about being administered either Covishied, Covaxin or both.
Several initiatives have been taken by the Central, State and Local level authorities in ensuring the safety of people. In GOQii’s latest India Fit Report for 2021 titled COVID-19 Impact - The Way Forward, 79% feel that India has been effective in curbing the spread of COVID-19 in comparison to other countries.
The sudden outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus forced people to take their health more seriously. GOQii has been at the forefront of bringing digital healthcare to the forefront to help individuals take care of their health. Even during the pandemic, GOQii has been working towards innovation to improve the standard of living, from a health perspective. There has been a quick and smooth adoption of everyday technology for healthcare and wellness, which has contributed immensely to the overall wellbeing of an individual.
We first launched an upgraded band - the GOQii Vital 3.0 in June 2020 that could detect body temperature to address the immediate need of the hour during the lockdown. Soon, within a span of 2 months, we launched the GOQii Smart Vital, with an Integrated Pulse Oximeter to measure SpO2 (Blood Oxygen), Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and 24x7 Body Temperature to assist in early detection & management of COVID-19. The GOQii Smart Vital is a doctor on your wrist that will help in the detection, isolation and monitoring of coronavirus cases. The moment you detect temperature changes coupled with low blood oxygen levels, you know you have to contact your healthcare provider and get tested We at GOQii commend the efforts that various organisations have put in to help the world see through these difficult times. While public opinion may vary, the important aspect to note is that preventive healthcare is the only way forward, as boosting immunity and staying healthy is the best and only viable option amid a deadly pandemic.
