Barcodes, Inc.’s Mobile COVID-19 tracking solution captures and registers person’s ID card in order to track each patient and their testing results. Information is stored centrally generating local, statewide and even global heat maps in real-time.

What are the Benefits of the Mobile COVID-19 Tracking Solution?

In a time when healthcare and local government facilities are limited, a mobile COVID-19 tracking solution allows an organization to setup a remote COVID-19 testing site with limited resources and equipment. Check out the benefits of a mobile COVID-19 tracking solution:

• Safe: Allows technicians to stay at a safe distance as the ID card is scanned directly from the patient’s hand
• Cloud Solution: Information is centrally stored on the cloud for easy deployment
• Fast: The system reads an ID card in 4 seconds and creates the account
• Real-time Tracking: Using our Heat Map function, executives have access to heat maps to better understand problematic locations and issues in real-time, which allows adjusting treatment and personnel priorities faster
• Face Image: The face image from the ID card is cropped o­ff for later account visual verification. There is a future option to add Face Recognition that will compare the account image to a live picture of the patient

How Does the Mobile COVID-19 Tracking Solution Work?

The remote COVID-19 test site solution is ideal for healthcare and government organizations who have limited facilities to operate and test patients. Below is the framework on how the solution works:

• Technician scans the ID card using a Honeywell CT60 mobile computer. The COVID-19 tracking software will then extract the patient information directly from the image using our advanced engine
• The technician then verifies the information is correct and can edit each field if necessary
• System will check for duplicate accounts
• Technician records patient temperature and adds email, phone and notes (if required)
• Information is sent to our central database hosted on the Microsoft Azure Platform
• Technician enters pertinent virus tracking information for each patient, such as status (pending, negative, positive, inconclusive), temperature and notes (if required)
• If there is a visit history the system will pull the information from the database if needed
• The Honeywell CT60 mobile computer will then print crucial patient information directly to a nearby Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Honeywell RP4e mobile printer
• The printer will create a label that is be taped onto the test vial
• In parallel the patient information is sent to our cloud data base and an account is created

It’s important to note that once sent, the information is not stored on the mobile device for patient safety and security. The backend database is easily searchable and is centrally administered. Each location, area, state or country can have its personalized view. Only manager level and up can access the database with our secure access tiers.

What Do You Need for a Mobile COVID-19 Tracking Solution Work?

While all testing sites and equipment are different, here is a list of items required to successfully operate a mobile COVID-19 tracking solution:

• COVID-19 Tracking Software
• Honeywell CT60 mobile computer
• Honeywell RP4e mobile printer
• Barcode labels or, specifically, test tube labels
• Optional:
  • Mobile Carts
  • PPE Equipment

Error-prone, mis-printed and unreadable barcode labels continue to cost businesses tens of thousands of dollars annually due to chargebacks, fines and rejected shipments. For example, retailers like Walmart have detailed requirements for on barcode label design/placement. Non-compliance can cost the shipper $5,000 for the second infraction which can double with each infraction. In order to reduce fines and delayed shipments, you need a label printer that can change the landscape of the supply chain. Barcodes, Inc. and Honeywell can help you deliver an industrial barcode printing solution with integrated label verification.

Today’s operations face unprecedented demands for faster order fulfillment and greater order accuracy. To meet customer demands without breaking your budget, Barcodes, Inc. recommends reevaluating your printing system since it lies at the core of successful order fulfillment.

See how Zebra’s rugged industrial printers meet these demands in our video:

Linking rugged consumables and intuitive software, your industrial printer holds the potential to streamline operations, which is why it should display:

• Physical durability – Does your printer remain functional in a variety of different environments such as low temperatures, humidity, dust-prone, and high-altitude locations?
• Intelligent adaptability – Just like any other piece of technology, your printer’s OS must be updated. Are updates still feasible, and will they be disruptive?
• User flexibility – Before entering a brand-new peak season, can your printer adapt to new unexperienced employees without increasing training times?
• Trustworthy security – Past studies indicated that over half of businesses’ data breaches occurred through networked printers. Is your printer protected against unauthorized access?

Developed by the leaders in rugged adaptability, Zebra’s industrial printers, like the ZT230 and ZT411, equip workforces with reliable durability that extends beyond printing processes. By combining it with Zebra’s Certified Consumables (Labels, Ribbon and Printheads) and Print DNA, Barcodes, Inc. works with you to design a complete printing solution that integrates:
