Project Summary

CarbonTeq provided ongoing custom development for Viral Solutions, a private ambulatory COVID-19 testing organization, building a web-based system that allows patients to sign up for tests and stores results in a SQL database. The platform uses Google OCR for rapid data capture, integrates with third-party EHR systems via APIs, and sends SMS notifications linking to custom patient portals. The solution processed roughly 65,000 results, saving the client significant time and money while operating in a HIPAA-compliant manner.

Project Solution

CarbonTeq developed a custom web application that allowed patients to sign up for COVID-19 tests in advance or onsite and implemented a SQL database to store results. They used Google OCR for rapid information capture and integrated the system with third-party electronic health record software via APIs. The vendor built backend services to trigger SMS notifications with links to custom patient portals where users could retrieve results and view history, iterating on the system until it scaled to meet demand.

Project Outcome

Processed roughly 65,000 results through the automated platform.
Saved the client significant time and money by avoiding large-scale manual staffing.
Scaled to handle peak seasonal demand without operational failure.
Delivered secure, HIPAA-compliant communication of results.
