Stanford Medicine partnered with Apple to release a new app, called the First Responder COVID-19 Guide, which helps first responders screen their symptoms and, if needed, schedule a testing. By using the screening portion of the app, first responders are able to complete a questionnaire about their symptoms, exposure to the coronavirus and medical history.
If the app recommends testing based on their answers, the first responder then communicates this their agency’s department infection control officer, who will then work with Stanford Health Care to schedule the testing appointment. More importantly, these first responders are not required to be Stanford Health Care patients to access the testing.
