Relay Medical and Fio Corporation Announce Delivery of First Fionet COVID-19 Workflow Software to Healthcare Clinics in Kenya...
September 10 2020 - 5:07PM
Relay Medical Corp. (“
Relay” or the
“
Company”) (CSE: RELA, OTC: RYMDF, Frankfurt:
EIY2), and Fio Corporation (“
Fio”) announce the
delivery of the first Fionet COVID-19 workflow software for the
Meru County Ministry of Health (“
Meru”) which
operates a network of approximately 140 community-based healthcare
clinics in Meru County, Kenya.
Relay and Fio previously announced a joint venture on August 19,
2020 to rapidly launch and deploy a new mobile COVID-19 testing and
tracking platform specifically developed for community-based
settings. The JV operates under the name “Fionet Rapid Response
Group” (FRR) and is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.
With the delivery of the Fionet workflow software, called
Patient Manager, Meru will begin deploying Fionet across its
network of healthcare clinics in Meru County. Patient Manager
incorporates the Kenya COVID-19 National Protocol and consists of
five modules that link the patient journey throughout
community-based healthcare facilities. These five modules consist
of Registration, Triage, Consultation, Lab, and Pharmacy, enabling
Meru to seamlessly coordinate patient care throughout the entire
healthcare ecosystem and adhere to the mandatory national COVID-19
protocol.
“Kenya is a leader in Africa, and Meru County is a leader in
innovative mobile healthcare solutions in Kenya. We’re looking
forward to Fionet being deployed across Meru and replicated
elsewhere not only in Kenya, but also across Africa and other parts
of the world including North America and Europe,” says Dr. Michael
Greenberg, CEO of FRR and of Fio Corporation.
“This technological innovation is transformative in extending
the reach of high-quality healthcare into the community. With
COVID-19 upon us, this is now more important than ever,” says Dr.
Stephen Kinoti, a Kenyan physician living in Washington, DC, who
was the founding Director of the Kenya Medical Research Institute
(https://www.kemri.org/) and advisor to WHO. Dr. Kinoti oversaw
this project between Fio Corporation and the Meru County Ministry
of Health.
As the Patient Manager modules were being developed, the Fionet
Platform was already being utilized by Meru County Ministry of
Health in community-based clinics, where Fionet served 45,000
patients.
“With this technological milestone accomplished, now being
deployed in Meru community-based healthcare facilities, we have our
first installation of COVID-19-based software,” said Yoav Raiter,
CEO, Relay Medical Corp.
