About

POCTIFY

Features
Read full description

POCTIFY is the companion app for anyone who runs point of care testing (POCT): clinics, pharmacies, GP practices, and the coordinators and managers who support them. Whether you run glucose, HbA1c, CRP, INR, blood gas or a wider menu, POCTIFY helps you do it safely, quality-assured and defensibly, in plain language. WHAT'S INSIDE • Academy: practical POCT courses with quizzes and verifiable certificates, including a free foundation course and dedicated courses on quality control, competency and connectivity. • Device Directory: an open listing for point of care analysers. Manufacturers and distributors can submit a device with its measured parameters and sample types, so the people choosing analysers can find it. • Tools: Levey-Jennings and Westgard quality-control charts, a clinical unit converter, calculators, a glossary and elaborated reference ranges. • Events: POCTIFY webinars and workshops. • Insights: cited articles on POCT quality, policy and practice. • Assistant: an on-device assistant that answers point of care questions and cites the app's own learning content. A quick, free sign-up (Apple, Google, LinkedIn or email, no password) creates your learner profile so your courses, progress and certificates are saved and yours. You can delete your account and data at any time in Settings. POCTIFY is an educational and reference app. It is not a medical device, does not provide diagnosis or clinical decisions, and is not a substitute for the device instructions for use or professional judgement. Certificates record completion of learning and are not a statement of clinical competence.
