gBETA selected BackpackEMR from over 100 applicants to present at gBETA’s Midwest COVID-19 Innovation Showcase. We presented with 13 other incredible startups who all quickly transitioned during the pandemic to support medical teams fighting the coronavirus.
In March, we saw that any patient-tracking tools, including in remote locations within low-income countries, would need to track COVID-19 symptoms and risk factors. So we added the WHO and CDC-recommended COVID-19 surveys into BackpackEMR, along with creating robust COVID-19 case-tracking dashboards for governments or regions.
Additionally, we have been working closely with traveling medical teams who are no longer able to see patients in remote villages due to travel restrictions. They are anxious to find ways to continue to provide healthcare from afar, so we are working on building Virtual Visits (or “asynchronous telemedicine”) into BackpackEMR.
You can watch the full showcase here – and make sure to check out our presentation of COVID-19 modifications in BackpackEMR at minute 46:05!
