Protect Students and Staff as COVID-19 Varients Emerge and Cases Rise

AlphaMED COVIDCARE is a mobile wellness app built to help school districts keep schools safe as new varients of COVID-19 quickly emerge, children remain unvaccinated and questions emerge about the long-term efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. The public health app is the first written by a physician on the front line of COVID care in New York City.  

The app adapts to changing Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and state guidelines. It also incorporates experience from front-line physicians diagnosing and treating COVID patients and combatting new varients. The app allows schools to certify staff and students daily to safely return to the classroom during the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

Use AlphaMED COVIDCARE to:

  • Increase staff and student safety and stop the spread of COVID-19.
  • Show staff, parents, family members and children that you care.
  • Stop potential COVID-19 cases before they enter school facilities.

Data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC):

  • 99.5% of COVID-19-related deaths over past few months occurred among unvaccinated people
  • 83.5% of new infections in the U.S. are attributable to the Delta variant
  • Delta is 50% more contagious than the Alpha variant (which was 50% more contagious than the original variant identified in Wuhan, China in 2019)

AlphaMED COVIDCARE enables budget-conscious schools to immediately implement a COVID-19 screening process to meet local reopening guidelines. This app aids schools that cannot build screening centers or cannot staff temperature checks for hundreds of students each morning. Nursery schools, elementary schools, middle schools and high schools in the United States or around the world can use the app.

The app aids in maintaining physical distance between staff and students. The app helps reduce the chances of coronavirus cases coming into private and public schools. It also supports in-person learning environments for the social and emotional well-being of children and teenagers.

A Back-to-School Solution that Serves More Families, Reduces Risks to Children and Lowers Costs for Schools

Use smartphones to quickly meet reopening guidelines and ensure a safe school while encouraging physical distancing. Allow parents, staff and older students to answer simple questions and self-certify that the student or staff member is healthy to attend school that day. The app enhances safety by identifying high-risk students and staff members BEFORE  they arrive onsite at school. Schools can reopen more safely, without having to incur the expense or time to establish and staff new systems.
