DUBLIN, Aug. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
- World-first technology developed by ROQU Group to protect society, economy, and jobs
- Irish trial commences with national partners in healthcare, agriculture,
education, childcare, logistics, entertainment, and other sectors
- Irish-engineered digital platform, in partnership with advanced diagnostics,
delivers test results within 15 minutes, allowing businesses to operate in a
safely controlled environment
The Irish-based ROQU Group has announced the pilot launch of Health Passport, a
world-first digital platform designed to facilitate increased COVID-19 testing
for businesses and the public.
Engineered in Ireland, the platform combines the latest digital technologies
with highly accurate and validated COVID-19 testing solutions, delivering
results in as little as 15 minutes. The platform will enable businesses and
individuals to quickly minimise risks related to COVID-19 and ensure they can
continue daily activities.
Health Passport is launching with a trial involving a select range of national
participants representing a diverse range of industry sectors: healthcare
(hospital, nursing home), logistics, agriculture, education, childcare,
entertainment, and others.
Supporting businesses, protecting communities
The platform has been developed to help national economies by enabling
businesses to remain open through continuous proactive testing of employees,
identifying positive results at the earliest stage whilst simultaneously
protecting communities by offering increased testing.
"Around the world, there is continued frustration and disappointment due to
COVID-19 restrictions," said Robert Quirke, President and CEO of ROQU Group, at
today's launch.
"Health Passport is designed to put a safety net in place where none currently
exists, allowing economies to recover and thrive in a controlled environment,"
said Mr Quirke. "It is a world-first innovation, proudly engineered in Ireland
to the highest standards, that will enable business and society to finally move
forward. The game changer has finally arrived."
Works with all official COVID-19 tests
Health Passport has been developed specifically to work in harmony with all
official COVID-19 tests, including laboratory swab and blood tests, and the
very latest rapid testing solutions soon to be launched.
"Using our global visibility, we are helping local companies by making the best
COVID-19 testing solutions readily available to all," said ROQU's Robert
Quirke. "As testing and research continues to improve, we want to ensure that
Irish society and economy can easily access testing solutions that offer the
highest levels of clinical validation.
"The purpose of the pilot trial is to demonstrate how Health Passport works
across a variety of real-life business and social scenarios," he added.
Amid calls for increased testing for the public, ROQU says that newly
engineered rapid tests can provide the solution needed to stop the spread of
the virus. Where no testing solution is already in place, Health Passport is
providing the very latest rapid antibody blood tests and rapid antigen swab
tests, which deliver a highly accurate diagnosis in less than 15 minutes. The
testing solutions are engineered, manufactured, and clinically validated in Europe.
"Current situation not sustainable"
"We are all aware that the current situation regarding viral outbreaks in
businesses and communities is simply not sustainable," said Robert Quirke.
"There are too many gaps in the current testing system that are hindering our
ability to get the economy and normal life back on track. It is time to
immediately close those gaps.
"This platform provides the breakthrough we have been waiting for and can
become the standard solution for business, travel, education, healthcare,
events and all aspects of daily life," said Mr Quirke. "Every person on the
Health Passport platform now represents one life and one job protected."
ROQU Group has announced that, in addition to Ireland, the Health Passport
platform will be launched in the US, UK, Italy, Kenya and Germany, with other
locations to follow. Health Passport has been developed as part of ROQU's
international philanthropic and altruistic mission.
