COVID-19 Patient App

COVID-19 Patient App

In view of the current situation regarding the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the main thing is to save time. We have therefore been working flat out in recent days on a new patient app that will ensure faster processes in diagnostics.

The app informs patients tested for SARS-CoV-2 about their findings by means of a traffic light system. In the event of a positive result, all necessary measures can be initiated as quickly as possible.

For this purpose, the collection centers for COVID-19 tests receive label sheets, each with two QR codes that belong together. When a swab is taken from a patient - for example, at a drive-in test station - the patient receives a label. the patient receives a label. The patient can download the app from the relevant app store and log in using the QR code or the ID number on the label. The sample is sent to the laboratory together with the second barcode. Here, the barcode for the order (in any LDT-relevant data field) is scanned. The finished report is exported and scanned in the laboratory for a possible COVID-19 examination and an existing BS order code. The findings result for this order code is entered on the central server. As soon as the findings are available, the patient receives a push notification.

With our app, the patient is informed about his test result in real time , which is clearly displayed by means of a traffic light system. This eliminates the need for a telephone query, thus relieving the burden on the responsible departments and keeping the telephone lines free. This saves valuable time.

The app can be downloaded free of charge from the respective app store and is compatible with all laboratory information systems. The tools for the laboratories are ready to use. In addition, thanks to the HERMA company, we have free labels for 125,000 tests that can be forwarded directly to interested laboratories.

Some large laboratories are already using our app. If you are also interested, please feel free to contact us.

School and then?

School and then?

With this question in mind, many of the more than 40,000 students surely arrived at the 10th Ulm Education Fair, which ended on Saturday after three eventful and informative days. 280 exhibitors in 7 halls were well prepared to give many a visitor an answer to this question and to show them perspectives for starting their careers.

We were there for the first time as an exhibitor to present our training and study opportunities and, not least, our company itself. The focus of the many discussions was on our apprenticeships and degree programs in the IT sector. But also the possibility of an apprenticeship in the commercial sector or a dual study program for media design were very popular with the students. Many of them came to our booth specifically and well prepared to learn more about the Bucher Group and the healthcare IT industry.

And so we take away not only the one or other exciting resume of a potential junior software developer, but also many impressions about what moves young people in search of their professional career. This encourages us to continue to focus on the topic of promoting young talent and training. So there's no question that the next Ulm Education Fair in 2022 is already an absolute must for us.
