Technology outfit Log My Care has recorded a 60% uptake among its clients adopting new Covid-19 monitoring tools within 10 days.
The software company has produced, together with UK experts, a free series of resources to help care services manage coronavirus-related issues.
The tools help carers and care managers track their clients’ potential symptoms easily, make decisions accordingly and report coronavirus deaths more accurately to the government, the latter being the most recent problematic to date.
Log My Care has recorded over 1600 downloads of its free coronavirus support resources.
“We love the system and the Covid-19 additions have been well thought out so congrats to the entire Log My Care team,” said Penbownder House director Beverly Dobbin.
On March 16, the company decided to pause development on their future projects and focus their efforts on producing helpful coronavirus-related resources and features to share with care providers across the country.
The start-up directed its development team to build coronavirus symptoms monitoring tools within its management software.
Log My Care has also trained its help team to respond well to emotional stress that can affect care workers.
“As soon as we learnt that the virus dramatically affected the elderly and those with multiple underlying health conditions, we realised that people in care would be hugely at risk,” said of Log My Care founder Sam Hussain.
“Something needed to be done quickly to provide our community of care professionals with a tool to help protect those in their care and I’m incredibly proud of how quickly my team has got these specialist tools into carers’ hands,” he added.
Hussain continued: “Regular monitoring and real-time alerts to virus outbreaks within care services have the potential to save thousands of lives and we’re happy to provide our technology as widely as possible to the social care sector during these critical times.”
