Smartphones as healthcare scanners

Healthcare professionals and patients need technology that is fast, reliable, and, most of all – secure. Whether patient wristbands, specimen bags, or pharmaceutics, almost every aspect of healthcare is enabled by barcodes that encode medical information. Real-time access to this data is crucial in fast-paced environments such as hospitals.

Smartphone-based workflows enable access to scanned information and the whole internal database directly on the device – no matter if your employees are currently in the patient care unit or manage medication and instruments in the background. The accuracy of the displayed information and the reduced potential for human errors benefit patients and staff alike.

Swift, simple, and secure tools facilitate workflows that leave time for what matters – providing patients with the best possible care.

Especially in healthcare, barcodes are the preferred method of encoding information securely. As a result, companies frequently face two-dimensional (2D) barcode formats. These can only be scanned with expensive imager scanners – or smartphones/tablets with rear cameras. Today, mobile devices are the most convenient and cost-effective choice: By integrating the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK in your app or website, you can achieve 98.7% scanning accuracy, and ensure a smooth and secure workflow for your employees at minimal TCO.

Our solutions work exclusively on the device and will never send any data to any server other than yours. With our encryption features, we ensure that your users’ scanned data is safe, at rest and in transit, from external attacks. Guaranteed privacy for your patients and operations has never been this easy.
