In an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, Electronic Caregiver, a national health technology company, has developed a web application to help the world get back to working, back to learning, and back to living.

The company’s new Protector Initiative Infectious Disease Mitigation Program is a technology platform that prescreens individuals for symptoms and risk of COVID-19 before they enter a facility, such as a business, school, or house of worship, and events, such as a concert.
“The incidence of people testing positive for COVID-19 is increasing, and that is the scary part of the spike we’re seeing,” said Electronic Caregiver Chief Clinical Officer Tim Washburn. “It’s not that we’re testing more, it’s that we’re seeing a higher incidence when we do test; that’s what everyone is worried about, and we can affect that with the Protector Initiative significantly.”

The Protector Initiative works on any device with Google Chrome and can be used by individuals before they leave home. It can also be deployed in the form of a kiosk for employees/customers to use on-site at a commercial facility or in any place where large crowds gather.
“In the case of a business, an employer would register and implement the Protector Initiative as a prescreening tool for their employees before they enter the workplace,” Electronic Caregiver Chief Technology Officer Dr. David Keeley said.
Individuals enrolled in the program will obtain credentials to log into the web portal using their personal device or a kiosk. They will record vitals, such as oxygen saturation and body temperature, using a provided or personal pulse oximeter and thermometer. These devices are essential in detecting a fever or difficulty breathing – two common symptoms of COVID-19.
