Mobile Scanning for Better Healthcare

In hospitals, pharma distribution and social care, Scandit improves patient safety and staff efficiency.

Mobile Scanning and AR for Better Healthcare

We help healthcare organizations automate manual workflows, comply with regulations and free up clinicians to spend more time caring for patients. Our high-performance mobile scanning software powers apps to make swift work of processes like verifying patient details and medication and tracking medical supplies on the go.

Increase Patient Safety with Accuracy and Speed

Giving healthcare professionals on-the-go access to critical information such as medication, patient histories and lab workups, reduces human error and supports the highest quality care.

Improve Productivity and Compliance

With instant access to real-time information on a smart device for workers across the healthcare landscape, regular tasks and processes are easier, more accurate and faster.

Reduce Costs with Future-proof Software Solutions

Replacing inflexible infrastructure with powerful mobile software solutions reduces hardware costs immediately. And new levels of efficiency and productivity go straight to the bottom line.

Improve patient safety by reducing human error and inject speed and accuracy into regular workflows.

Patient Care Use Cases

Scanning a patient’s wristband with mobile scanning and augmented reality (AR) enables clinicians to access digital workflows, including patient medical records and medicine administration. Tracking and tracing specimens and surgery equipment is also much easier.

Specimen Tracking & Tracing

A Scandit-powered mobile app can track blood and laboratory samples in real-time and trace barcodes back to their origin, achieving an accurate chain-of-custody. This gives clinicians an efficient way to track time-sensitive specimens for patient analysis and diagnostics.

surgery tools

Surgery Kit & Supply Tracking

Surgical and sterilization department staff can use mobile devices to scan instruments and other surgery supply items quickly, before and after surgery. This increased efficiency helps to improve patient safety and reduce costs.

Blood Bag Recording & Tracking

Blood bag identification by clinicians is quick and easy using smart devices powered with Scandit scanning and augmented reality (AR) software. Blood bags with multiple barcodes can be scanned in one instance rather than needing time-wasting separate scans of each barcode.

Healthcare Administration Use Cases

Advanced barcode scanning on smart devices supports regulatory compliance such as when authenticating medication or verifying a patient’s identity. Healthcare workers across hospitals, pharma and social care can track assets in real-time and manage stock checks up to 40% faster.

Inventory Management

Clinicians can update stock or inventory on-the-go, obtain detailed medication information and manage disposable replenishments. This releases clinician time previously spent on administration, back to patient care. Fast mobile scanning eliminates the need for recounts and speeds up the re-ordering process.

Search & Find

By pointing a smart device at stock inventories, healthcare workers can locate an item instantly. MatrixScan AR reads multiple barcodes at once, highlighting the correct item with an AR-overlay on the device screen. Used in stock checks, this feature can make time savings of up to 40%.

Shipping & Receiving

Capturing all the data from medical supplies in a single mobile scan dramatically reduces the time needed to authenticate the shipment or receipt of goods. By automating the process and using real-time data, it’s easy to inspect and store supplies, report damaged or missing items, document supplies sent to the wrong place or instantly re-order and replenish items.
