Im klinischen Alltag und bei Studien müssen immer wieder Geräte und Patientendaten für einen definierten Zeitraum miteinander verknüpft werden (Langzeit EKG, 24 Blutdruckmessung, Studien mit Wearables...). Mit der Multi-Scanner App können diese Vorgänge nur problemlos durch Scan des jeweiligen Devices und des Patienten Codes erfolgen. Durch die Scann-Funktion der App, die sowohl QR-Codes als auch EAN-Codes erkennt werden die Verknüpfungen eindeutig und mit Historie inklusive Such-Funktion zuverlässig ermöglicht.
