Collect your REDCap data in an offline environment in the REDCap mobile app, and then sync your data back to your project on a REDCap server. REDCap is a web application, which requires the Internet to be used, but the REDCap mobile app allows for offline data collection for your REDCap projects. You can create your project in REDCap, securely download your project to the REDCap mobile app on your iPad or iPhone, collect data on the device (with or without an Internet connection), and then securely send your data back to your project on a REDCap server. Features • Multi-user interface with secure login that allows each user account to collect data for multiple REDCap projects in the app. • In addition to text and structured data, you can store and transmit photos, videos, signatures, and audio to REDCap. • When collecting data in the app from a participant, for security purposes you can easily restrict access to the rest of the app as they enter their data. • All user activity in the app is logged for audit purposes. The full logging history can be sent to your project on the REDCap server. Who is the REDCap Mobile App for? In order to use the REDCap Mobile App, REDCap must be installed on your institution’s server and must be at version 6.5.0 or higher. The REDCap Mobile App is designed to fit the following scenarios: • A REDCap project that needs data to be collected without any Internet access available. • A REDCap project that needs data to be collected with sporadic Internet access. If mobile devices are desired for use in REDCap data collection, and if WiFi or cellular Internet is amply available, then it is suggested to use the REDCap mobile web view that is available on the REDCap server, which provides real-time access to data. What is REDCap? REDCap is a mature, secure web application for building and managing online surveys and databases, and it is used by hundreds of thousands of users around the world (http://projectredcap.org). Before setting up a REDCap project in the app, you must already have a user account on a REDCap server hosted by a participating REDCap partner institution. If you belong to an institution that does not have REDCap, please visit http://projectredcap.org/participate.php to learn how to get REDCap where you are. What are some limitations of this app? The REDCap mobile app runs in conjunction with the REDCap web application software. You must already have a REDCap user account and project on a REDCap server before being able to download the project to the app. The app cannot function or stand independently without a REDCap server.

EZVFC

Read full description

EZVFC is a professional vaccine inventory and administration management app built for VFC (Vaccines for Children) program participants — clinics, health departments, pediatric practices, and community health centers. MANAGE INVENTORY WITH CONFIDENCE Scan GS1 DataMatrix 2D barcodes directly from vaccine packaging to instantly add new stock. The app automatically reads the lot number, expiration date, and GTIN, then looks up the vaccine's brand name and manufacturer. No manual data entry required. Track multiple lots per vaccine, VFC vs. non-VFC stock, and expiration dates all in one place. ADMINISTER VACCINES ACCURATELY Walk through a guided multi-step workflow: find the patient, build a basket by scanning each vaccine, verify VFC eligibility match, enter provider details, and confirm. All vaccines in a basket are administered in one tap. Inventory decrements automatically and a full audit trail is created. STAY AHEAD OF STOCK ALERTS The home dashboard shows at a glance which vaccines are critically low, low stock, or expiring soon — color-coded by severity. Push notifications alert your team on a schedule you control (daily, weekly, or off), so nothing slips through between app sessions. PATIENT & VACCINATION HISTORY Search patients by name or Medical Record Number (MRN). View demographics, payor type, VFC eligibility, and a complete chronological vaccination history — provider name, vaccine administered, lot number, and date given. ROLE-BASED ACCESS FOR YOUR TEAM Assign roles to every team member: Super Admin, Admin, Nurse, or Viewer. Admins can edit stock quantities, void incorrect administrations (with reason and full audit trail), and manage organization settings. Nurses handle daily administration workflows. Viewers have read-only access. SECURE BY DESIGN EZVFC automatically locks after 30 minutes of inactivity to protect patient health information (PHI). Re-authenticate instantly with Face ID or Touch ID — no password re-entry required. Sessions are stored securely in the iOS Keychain. MULTI-ORGANIZATION SUPPORT Manage multiple clinics or facilities from a single account. Switch organizations in one tap. Each organization maintains independent inventory, patients, and administration records. KEY FEATURES - Barcode scanning for fast, accurate vaccine intake - Real-time stock level dashboard with severity alerts - Full patient vaccination history - VFC eligibility tracking and mismatch warnings - Role-based access control (Admin, Staff) - Biometric re-authentication (Face ID / Touch ID) - Push notifications for stock and expiration alerts - Administration void with reason and audit trail - Multi-organization support - 30-minute PHI auto-lock EZVFC is designed for healthcare professionals who need a reliable, fast, and compliant vaccine management tool at the point of care.
