The app collects a patient's records from different healthcare service providers, so that doctors can access them through a single portal.
Among Middle Eastern countries, the likes of the UAE and Saudi Arabia along with neighbours in the gulf were able to emerge victorious against the pandemic without a major outbreak, thanks to digital platforms for detecting and tracking infections. In the new normal, telemedicine has thrived in the region thanks to the availability of visual communication tools, but more importantly due to the swift data sharing mechanism as well as electronic medical records, which are helping medical practitioners make informed decisions.
People traveling to any part of the world are now able to get top quality medical care, since their doctor in another country can easily receive the entire history about previous conditions and medication they are on, to decide the future course of treatment. Keeping up with its neighbours in the gulf, Egypt is also using information as a valuable asset to ensure top-notch healthcare and save lives, through a platform that acts as a single destination, for complete medical data on a patient.
Aiming to link clinics across Egypt with each other, Bypa-ss was launched by the founder, after he witnessed confusion during treatment caused by the unavailability of a patient's treatment history. The app gathers information about an individual from every clinic they've ever been to, and creates a resource which facilitates personalised care for the person.
Other than helping doctors provide data-driven services across clinics in different cities, the platform also helps patients carry their medical history in the form of a card or on their smartphones. With this they can access lab scans as well as prescriptions based on their medical information, at clinics across Egypt, and can also get a 70% discount on treatment.
The product from Bypa-ss called HealthTag is powered by a network of 3000 medical professionals in different parts of Egypt, and now it has received funds to cover the entire country.
