Our Health and Safety Digital Solutions History

WellCheck

WellCheck launched in 2019 as a HIPAA-compliant digital health and wellness screening tool. Today, it’s used by business, government, and other organizations to conduct a wide array of ongoing health checks. 

Companies use it to promote workplace safety and manage staffing needs. For example, if an employee gets injured at work, WellCheck lets the employer check in on the employee’s recovery and issue reminders to do physical therapy exercises. County health departments use it to screen residents for mental health, substance abuse, and domestic violence, then direct those residents to resources. Many organizations also use it for emergency notifications. Our respondent data dashboard lets you instantly assess the health of your entire population and stay aware of any changes.

The possibilities are vast, and we’re excited to partner with organizations to develop new uses for this highly customizable platform. Our cross-platform web app offers a simple, HIPAA-compliant way to screen for a variety of health-related concerns and route users to response-specific protocols, creating a safer and healthier workplace. WellCheck is easy to implement, so most clients can be up and running within hours.

VaccineCheck

The COVID-19 pandemic brought a new dimension to workplace health and safety. In 2020, we launched VaccineCheck, using WellCheck’s HIPAA-compliant technology for COVID symptom screening, testing reminders and results, vaccine verification, and return-to-work procedures. As well as organizations, many individuals use VaccineCheck’s Digital Health Pass to securely and privately display proof of vaccination for travel and other situations.

VaccineCheck verifies vaccinations with more than 60 state and local vaccine registries – even if the original vaccination record has been lost or damaged. Each Digital Health Pass is approved by a medical professional and contains a QR code that can be scanned by any QR code reader. 

VaccineCheck for Business, Schools, and Events offers flexible solutions (including white-label options) to verify employees’ and visitors’ health status. Our platform enables you to screen your workforce and visitors, verify vaccination status, manage vaccine exemptions, issue testing reminders, and analyze data at a glance with our compliance tracking dashboard.
