In the fight against coronavirus, testing stations on highways, at airports etc. have taken on an important role in monitoring, estimating and curbing the spread of the virus. During phases of heavier demand, the processes employed at testing stations have been subject to criticism because it was impossible to guarantee rapid tracing and interruption of infection chains.
To ensure an arrangement that is more viable and efficient for the future, two leading Bavarian innovators have come together and developed a complete digital all-in-one solution that is suitable for use in private businesses as well as public institutions, on highways and at airports.
A comprehensive solution that really works
Thanks to the collaboration between MELOS, a company with more than 30 years of experience in the field of laboratory software and IT workflows, and the expertise offered by DESKO, global market leader for ID scanners in the airline/airport sector, it is now possible to produce mobile testing stations that can be scaled to any company size. The package includes hardware and software, is ready for immediate use and delivers results within 24 hours given optimal regional and logistical connections with the laboratory.
Fully digital from A-Z
From the collection of personal data and the shipment of samples to the lab down to returning the results to the patient, the entire testing process is a self-contained system. This begins before the actual test: On the website www.corona-auftrag.de, patients can reserve an appointment at a testing center of their choice. To ensure mobility, the test results can also be released for communication to standard booking systems (e.g. Lufthansa, Deutsche Bahn, etc.). Payment systems are also integrated.
“Integrating our ID scanner into the MELOS solution is an optimal solution to the problem of conclusively allocating identities“, asserts Alexander Zahn, CEO of DESKO GmbH. The MELOS MDN software provides all the required interfaces for the laboratory systems, physician software, clinic systems, health authorities and the Robert Koch Institute. The Corona Warn app is already integrated. An option is also available to access your own results in PDF form on the website www.corona-befund.de. Handwritten records and manual allocation are thus finally a thing of the past.
The testing stations have been successfully tested in live operation and are already being used at mid-sized companies and international company groups.
