A smartphone app and management dashboard aim to assist employers to keep track of which staff had been vaccinated or tested negative for COVID-19.
Due to ease in lockdown restrictions, employees have started resuming to their workplaces, and employers will be faced with a new challenge of how to manage their employees’ health status and reduces the possibility of any worker bringing COVID-19 into workplaces. This type of management possesses an important burden to workplace administration for employers because they have to manage the COVID-19 vaccination/test status realistically, to ensure none of their workers comes to work instead of being at home self-isolating.
A digital health pass, tested.me offers individuals, employers, and customers a simple interface where they can share their verified vaccine status, and test results within a data secure environment which allows businesses and their staff to go to work safely and responsibly. The company aims to provide businesses the tools and visibility to manage their workers’ health and wellness in a digital, convenient, and secure manner.
The UK-based app takes the pain out of the administrative process of sourcing through each employee’s health records and makes it simple for both employers and staff to manage all this information in real-time. Individual downloads the tested.me app onto their smartphone and uses it to register any tests, vaccinations, or temperature checks they have taken. At the press of a button, they can share some or all of that information automatically with an organization
The app is developed and used in the UK and helps ease the stress of the administrative process of going through the health records of each employee, therefore making it easier for both the employers and employees to manage the information in real-time.
An individual can download the tested.me app on their smartphones and use it to register any tests, temperature, or vaccination checks they have taken. By pressing a single button, individuals can share some or all of the information automatically with an organization, a client site, or their employer.
The platform’s dashboard automates and integrates staff data which means workers can discover who is to be isolated at home and who is safe to work, or who didn’t take the test recently. It can help staff allocation based on availability ensuring those in isolation get adequate support. Managers will be notified If any individual comes to work without a ‘low risk’ health status on the system, and such individual will be told to self-isolate tested.me or take a test.
CEO Simon Osman said: “We know COVID-19 testing and vaccination status is required by many workplaces as they begin to re-open, as part of employers’ duty of care to their employees and visitors.
“That’s the problem we built tested.me to solve, quickly and conveniently for everyone involved. We are already supporting businesses with this next-generation tech for good’ platform. By combining ease of use, personal control of data, and large-scale visitor management, tested.me is playing its part in helping the world recover from COVID-19 – allowing us to learn, work and socialize safely together again.”
After supporting lots of visitors across restaurants and pubs in Bristol last summer, test.me has been working with various businesses to ensure their technology is brought back into the hospitality and events sector as the industry plans to re-open this summer.
