Leveraging Aila’s image-based scanning technology, frontline healthcare workers can easily and accurately capture patient data from U.S. driver’s licenses and pair it with barcodes on specimen samples from safe distances using any iOS device.

Natick, MA  ̶  April 28, 2020  ̶  Aila Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of image-based scanning solutions for enterprise, today announced the launch of its Healthcare Express app for iOS. The free app leverages Aila’s enterprise-grade barcode scanning capabilities to safely allow healthcare workers at drive-throughs and field hospitals to quickly capture patient data from U.S. driver’s licenses and barcodes on specimen collection tubes, minimizing the need for unnecessary physical contact.

The easy-to-use app captures 1D, 2D and PDF417 barcodes on labels, mobile phone displays, and U.S. driver’s licenses and parses the data to automatically and accurately capture name, address and other identifying information and pair it with clinical specimen data— all in seconds. Healthcare workers can then print or export the data instantly, making these critical workflows more efficient and safe. The Healthcare Express app is also HIPAA-compliant as none of the data is stored in the app or shared with any 3rd party.

Aila’s Healthcare Express app captures the following barcode data:

Specimen collection tube barcode data

• Code-128
• EAN-13
• QR Code
• Micro QR
• GS1

All U.S. driver’s licenses

• PDF-417

“Our scanning technology has been supporting the frontlines of healthcare across thousands of patient service centers as a reliable and efficient way of providing a contactless patient check-in,” said Matt Kowalczyk, CTO at Aila Technologies. “Now more than ever, we see how vision technology like ours can help support our healthcare workers and rallied our teams to demonstrate how our scanning technology can accurately capture key patient data at safe distances.”

The Healthcare Express App leverages Aila’s advanced image-based scanning software, SoftScan™, an enterprise-grade barcode scanning solution that works on any iOS device. With SoftScan, enterprises can easily and quickly access a powerful scanning device directly from their pockets to streamline their workflows and facilitate customer or patient interactions in real-time.
