The pilot launch of Health Passport Ireland, a world-first digital platform designed to facilitate increased Covid-19 testing for businesses and the public, has been announced by Irish-based ROQU Group.

Engineered in Ireland, the platform combines the latest digital technologies with accurate and validated Covid-19 testing solutions, which can deliver results in as little as 15 minutes.

The digital platform is a big step towards helping businesses and individuals to quickly minimise risks related to Covid-19 and ensure they can continue daily activities.

The system has been designed to work will all official Covid-19 test types.

The platform has been developed to help the Irish economy by helping businesses to remain open through continuous proactive testing, identifying positive results at the earliest stage whilst simultaneously protecting communities by offering increased testing.

TRIAL LAUNCH

Developed specifically to work in harmony with all official Covid-19 tests, including HSE tests, laboratory swab and blood tests, and the very latest rapid testing solutions soon to be launched, Health Passport Ireland is launching with a trial involving a select range of national participants.

Amid calls for increased testing for the public, ROQU says that newly engineered rapid tests could provide a solution needed to stop the spread of the virus.

Where no testing solution is already in place, Health Passport Ireland can provide the very latest rapid antigen swab tests and antibody blood tests, which deliver results in less than 15 minutes.

The testing solutions are engineered, manufactured, and clinically validated in Europe.
