About

VELLAP SCAN

Read full description

VELLAP SCAN is an app for quantitative evaluation and documentation of VELLAP tests. The integrated AI ensures the precision of a laboratory measuring device at the point of care. VELLAP SCAN uses your smartphone's built-in camera to register a VELLAP test cassette based on its individual code and supports test execution with an integrated multi-timer that automatically adjusts to the required readout time and, if necessary, also makes it easy to process several tests in parallel. After the readout time has elapsed, you can use the app to record the test result – objectively and within seconds. The result is immediately available in the app and in the VELLAP portal. With VELLAP SCAN, you can also do all your work offline. The AI runs locally on your smartphone. This makes the app suitable for work environments that do not allow an active connection. VELLAP SCAN can be used with all in-vitro diagnostic products from VELLAP Diagnostics GmbH. www.vellap.de Disclaimer: This app is a tool for the convenient, objective and quantitative evaluation of VELLAP rapid tests. Please note the intended purpose of the rapid test, which you perform with the VELLAP SCAN app. The app does not replace professional medical advice. It does not make any diagnosis or treatment recommendations. Always consult a doctor before making a medical decision.
