“By streamlining the process of scheduling test appointments
through the DMGapp, governments can exponentially increase the
efficiency and efficacy of the process,” said Tom Rubio, CEO of
Disaster Management Group. “Immediate, accurate and hard data
collected through this secure platform can reduce mortality and
suffering, as we adjust how we respond to this pandemic and prevent
further spread of COVID-19.”
The DMGapp is available for government, public sector and
commercial organizations to use for scheduling COVID-19 tests. It
can be deployed less than 24 hours after an engagement with DMG.
The data collected is stored on a HIPAA-compliant platform, that
can be readily adopted by any organization. The platform is also
compatible with federal and state and other government systems,
which will streamline reporting requirements to county departments
of health, state departments of health and the CDC.
“Through the DMGapp, real-time data is provided to the CDC and
major research universities so that stakeholders can gain a better
understanding of the complexities of this global pandemic,” said
Rubio. “That transfer of HIPAA-protected information and the
findings that come from university research will be critical to
mitigate the further spread of COVID-19 within and among
communities.”
The process is simple. Individuals can download their respective
state DMGapp and create an account. Next, the individual completes
a short survey to evaluate current symptoms based on CDC
guidelines.
If it is determined the individual should be tested for
COVID-19, the app enables the individual to find the nearest
testing location, view available appointment times and schedule an
appointment. The app incorporates logistical load balancing to
avoid overflow and ensure that there is enough test kit supplies to
meet the demands of appointments scheduled and available.
When the individual arrives at the testing location, the
individual checks in through the app, as well. Americans are
encouraged to connect with their state’s Department of Health for
guidance as the product is introduced.
The DMGapp was developed by Promero, Inc., of Pompano, with
input from expert developers at Coastal Could, Inc., of Palm Coast.
Coastal Cloud is the only firm in the state of Florida that has
achieved platinum level as a Salesforce consulting partner.
“We brought together our top app developers from Promero and
Coastal Cloud to focus on developing the DMGapp smartly and
efficiently so that it could be deployed as quickly as possible
during this unprecedented crisis,” said Gregg Troyanowski,
President at Promero, Inc. “We are proud to be a part of this
exciting initiative, and we’re anxious to see it implemented by
federal, state and local governments, as well as commercial
organizations, so it can ease the process of scheduling COVID-19
tests and inform our nation’s response strategy.”
The state-branded DMGapp will be made available on all devices,
including IOS, Android, iPad, tablets and desktop computers.
Supported languages are English and Spanish.
