ABOUT MiCONTACT

MiContact is a QR code messaging system for patients and doctors designed to facilitate secure and efficient interactions between healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, medical staff) and their patients using Quick Response (QR) codes.

This system is tailored to the unique needs and requirements of the healthcare industry, ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of patient information while enabling seamless communication.

OUR AIMS

MiContact aims to streamline healthcare communication, enhance patient engagement, reduce administrative overhead, and improve the overall patient experience. It can be particularly valuable in the current digital healthcare landscape, where remote consultations and efficient patient-doctor communication are increasingly important.

FEATURES

Here are some key features and functions of the MiContact system:

Secure Patient Identification

When patients visit a healthcare facility, they are provided with a unique QR code that links to their medical records. This code may be printed on an ID card or generated digitally via a secure patient portal.

Appointment Management

Patients can use their QR codes to schedule, reschedule, or cancel appointments. Doctors and medical staff can view their schedules and make necessary adjustments.

Check-In and Verification

Patients can check in for appointments by scanning their QR codes at a kiosk or with a staff member. The system verifies their identity and appointment details.

Telemedicine Integration

The system may integrate with telemedicine platforms, allowing doctors to initiate video or text-based virtual consultations with patients by scanning a QR code.

Health Education

QR codes can link to educational materials, videos, or resources related to a patient's condition or treatment plan, providing patients with additional information and guidance.

Emergency Access

In case of emergencies, medical personnel can scan a patient's QR code to quickly access critical medical information, allergies, and emergency contacts.

Access to Medical Records

Patients can access their medical records, test results, and treatment plans securely through their QR code-linked patient portal. This ensures patients have easy access to their health information.

Prescription and Medication Management

Doctors can send electronic prescriptions directly to pharmacies through the system, and patients can receive medication details via QR codes. Pharmacists can also verify and dispense medication using QR codes.

Secure Messaging

Patients and doctors can communicate through a secure messaging platform within the system. Patients can ask questions, report symptoms, or request prescription refills, while doctors can provide advice and updates.

Feedback and Surveys

Patients can provide feedback and complete surveys related to their healthcare experiences through QR codes, helping healthcare providers improve their services.

Privacy and Security

Strong security measures and compliance with healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA in the United States) are paramount to protect patient data.

BENEFITS

Using MiContact for communications offers several advantages, making it a convenient and efficient method for sharing information and engaging with audiences. Here are some of the key advantages:

Ease of Access

QR codes provide a quick and easy way for users to access information, content, or services. All they need is a smartphone or a device with a camera and a QR code reader app.

Contactless Interaction

In situations where physical contact should be minimized, QR codes enable contactless interactions. Users can scan the code without touching anything, making it ideal for health and safety measures, like during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cost-Effective

Creating and distributing QR codes is often cost- effective. You don't need to print physical materials, such as brochures or flyers, to convey information. This can save on printing and distribution costs.

Space Efficiency

QR codes can store a significant amount of data in a small space. This is especially useful when you want to provide detailed information without overwhelming your audience.

Trackability

Some QR code generators and platforms offer analytics and tracking features, allowing you to monitor how many times a QR code is scanned. This data can help you gauge the effectiveness of your communication efforts.

Interactive Content

QR codes can link to multimedia content like videos, audio files, images, and interactive experiences, enhancing the engagement and user experience.

Customisation

While the basic QR code design is recognisable, you can customize the appearance of QR codes to some extent. This allows you to incorporate branding elements or make them visually appealing while maintaining their scannability.

Dynamic Content

With dynamic QR codes, you can update the linked content without changing the QR code itself. This is useful for promotions, events, or information that may change over time.

Global Adoption

QR codes have gained widespread adoption worldwide. Most smartphones come with built-in QR code scanning capabilities or can easily download a QR code reader app, making it accessible to a broad audience.

Security

QR codes can be designed to enhance security. For instance, they can contain encrypted information or serve as authentication tokens for secure access.

Versatility

QR codes can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as sharing URLs, contact information, Wi-Fi network details, event details, product information, and more. They are highly versatile and adaptable to various communication needs.

OUR FOUNDERS STORY

QRV Health Solutions was established from the ongoing fourteen year partnership between James Ohene-Djan and entrepreneur Duncan Barclay. At our core is a focus on sustainability, diversity, and inclusivity.

These values and our lived experiences have helped guide our innovative approach to simple healthcare solutions. James, (Professor of Computer Science at Goldsmiths), and his sister Louise, (Professor of Pharmacy in Practise and Policy at UCL) were long term carers of their brother, Tony, and mother, Betty.

Their complicated needs meant there were touchpoints across the whole spectrum of the healthcare industry. Driven by his problem solving and visionary mindset, James teamed with healthcare insiders to design simple solutions to address their complex problems.
