Duration: One Year
Methods: Mixed methods approach

A diagnostic decision support tool will be developed to optimize the pathway to accurately diagnose individuals with COVID-19.

● The diagnostic decision support tool will aid in devising an optimized cost-effective algorithm to screen COVID-19 infection in low resource settings.
● The tool will help in prioritization of resource allocation / planning to manage the COVID-19 infection.
● The study will create a diagnosis tests pathway and structured approach as per the patient’s health and external factors and may facilitate in making tailored diagnostic pathways among different diagnostic tests available to initiate timely treatment intervention.
