During the coronavirus pandemic, real time monitoring and surveillance of coronavirus spread has been proved to be extremely important, as COVID-19 related health data enable health authorities and healthcare scientists to form state policies, for handling coronavirus disease and preventing the spread, providing patients with effective healthcare services.

Responding to this supreme need, Sigmasoft healthtech company successfully implemented an integrated system for monitoring the spread of COVID -19 and treatment of cases, the COVID-19 Clinical Platform. This Cloudbased platform, has set the foundations for a unique single point of reference for virus outbreaks, providing all the necessary information for healthcare system to tackle and combat the pandemic, with mandatory use of all healthcare providers nationwide.

The speed and effectiveness with which this Project was delivered to citizens, health professionals and state organizations – under the very adverse conditions of the pandemic – is a real success story, an example of what can be achieved with preparedness, professionalism and high expertise, for the benefit of society as a whole.

The COVID-19 Clinical Platform is monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and end-to-end treatment of cases including:

• Diagnosis of the incident in a hospital or COVID-19 mobile unit which performs sampling tests in specific population categories.
• Case Management Monitoring upon first day of Admission to a Health Center.

• EMR system for monitoring & follow up of patients in Hospital/ICU/HDU, from admission to discharge.
• Daily monitoring of patients’ recovery in hospital, using a complete COVID-19 patient file, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.
