Its platform, Fionet, was successful with 1 million patients in a dozen countries for managing biothreats such as HIV, malaria, dengue, and Ebola.
Fionet can defeat the COVID-19 pandemic beyond the few overburdened medical centres and labs to thousands of frontline health posts, such as pharmacies, clinics, airports, and workplaces.
"Fionet enables everyday healthcare workers deliver expert-level diagnostic testing and triage at frontline health posts. In real time, supervisors can remotely see and guide frontline healthcare activity. Public health officials can manage responses and resources to new levels of precision and promptness. And in the process, it digitizes all frontline activity," said Dr. Michael Greenberg, CEO of Fio Corporation.
Fionet reads rapid diagnostic tests in seconds. Fionet operates with 3rd- party databases and electronic-health- record (EHR) systems.
"To protect individual jobs and the national economy, the question is not only who is sick, but also who is well and can safely work," says Shlomit Dekel, co-founder and Chief Business Development Officer of Fio Corporation. "At pharmacies or hospitals, personnel can be tested for immunity to the virus. At office tower entrances, personnel can be tested daily and feel secure that everyone else inside also tested negative."
