Corona virus disease19 has spread over the world, affecting millions of people. It has put enormous strain on the global healthcare system. Due to frequent mutations, the pandemic is spreading rapidly. The world requires a technology that will facilitate the effective diagnosis, treatment, and discharge of COVID19 patients. A model like remote patient monitoring [RPM] makes it easier to handle Covid 19 patients. RPM helps in remotely diagnosis, treatment, as well as allowing for prompt interventions. The RPM makes use of mobile technology and IoT platforms to take clinical interventions. In this study out of 151 covid19 positive subjects 91% of them were shifted to home monitoring within 5 days of MVM monitoring with few readmissions. The study investigated the effectiveness of RPM in the Indian healthcare system, as well as the performance and usability of the Vigocare mobile application by patients and doctors.

Taxol, commercially available as palcitaxel is a potent anticancer drug which has been naturally produced by pacific yew tree. This molecule has been included in the WHO’s list of essential medicines. This paper summarises the different sources of Taxol production, starting from initial isolations from Pacific yew tree which was followed by hairy root cultures and during the last decade, much focus was on endophytes as potential sources for Taxol production. Further, this review specifically talks about the medicinal plant Terminalia arjuna and its medicinal values with regard to its endophytes and their capability of producing Taxol. The process of initial screening, purification and media optimization for increasing the yields of secondary metabolites is also discussed.
