In this scenario, KBC’s AI-enabled smart solution @School can come in handy as a perfect tool to aid in monitoring the psychological well-being of students and staff.

1. The COVID-19 crisis has put schools and universities on the front lines of crisis communication. Administrators across the country are looking for a smart solution before bringing staff back to schools and students to classrooms to manage the crisis. 

 @School can come to the aid of the crisis management team (CMT) of schools in mitigating damages due to emergency events, be it COVID-19 related or natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes, or school shootings. 

2. There are several tools that track COVID-19 symptoms, but unfortunately, there is no national organization that maintains vaccination records. Even the CDC does not have this information. Most K-12 schools, colleges, and universities keep on file the vaccination records of their students.

 Tracking vaccination records is one of the important features of @School. It keeps all the vaccination-related records safe and secure. This feature will not only help the school administrators to ease their burden but also get rid of the paper clutter.

Manage health and hygiene

 Cleaning, disinfecting and promoting hand hygiene are important everyday actions to slow the spread of COVID-19. @School has come up with a smart technology that can also monitor the cleanliness and hygiene on campus. This feature will definitely boost the confidence of parents as they send their children back to school. 

Restore confidence of parents, teachers and students

 After prolonged closure of schools, parents and caregivers are anxious if it is completely safe to send children back to school. And thus, restoring confidence among parents and teachers is challenge for schools to reopen.

@School offers a robust and seamless technology –that can help parents, school administration and teachers stay rest assured about the safety of children and staff — with features to monitor the school’s real-time environment and enhance health and safety precautions and procedures, improve crisis reporting, track vaccination records, and a host of other useful features.
