Startup Develops Low-Cost, Contactless Health Waiver, Helping Businesses Reopen Doors Safely

By HRTech News Desk On Jun 4, 2020

A contactless mobile health waiver, created by Boston startup Tapple, is being used by thousands of employees and customers to self-certify their health each day without the use of apps.

As the country phases in work across industries, the CDC and state regulatory bodies have issued guidelines mandating employers conduct daily health screenings to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Business owners are faced with the burden of implementing methods to comply with reporting requirements and potential contract tracing requests.

Tapple’s Touchless Health Screen was developed as a low-cost solution to support businesses as they look to reopen quickly and safely. This in-demand solution includes:

Self-certification through contactless, smartphone QR scanning
ID verification for contact tracing
Customizable attestation forms
Quick data capture and storage

While many industries are required to provide daily screening reports to state and local officials, other businesses are looking to offload potential liability and protect their staff.

Tapple has been implemented by some of New England’s most prestigious real estate and construction groups, such as Columbia Construction, Berkeley Building Company and Griffith Properties.

“Tapple has been critical in helping us comply with state mandates, saving us untold hours of work, and helping our tenants feel safe.” – Marci Loeber, Managing Principal of Griffith Properties.
