Coronavirus Pandemic

OSHA- and HIPPA-compliant program traces workforce wellness check-ins and provides resources
for employees affected by COVID-19. Today, smart care coordination platform mHealthCoach
unveiled Employee Screening Solution, an app-based solution for businesses that want to
proactively protect the safety and health of their returning workforces in the midst of COVID-19.

Chicago, IL, May 22, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Today, smart care coordination platform mHealthCoach
unveiled Employee Screening Solution, an app-based solution for businesses that want to proactively
protect the safety and health of their returning workforces in the midst of COVID-19.

“One thing businesses are seeing in this pandemic is the difference in effect between a proactive approach
vs. a reactive one. Companies that can’t run on distributed workforces alone are looking at a long journey
to the return of ‘business as usual,’ and need an easy-to-integrate tool for sustainable, long-term threat
management,” says Aamer Ghaffar, founder at mHealthCoach. “'Employee Screening Solution' lets
companies proactively build a safety-based infrastructure so that more employees can resume work
without fear, businesses can remain compliant with local and federal mandates, and leadership can
demonstrate that they value their workforce.”

The solution is a response to recent, and often complex, pandemic guidelines from national regulatory
bodies. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) advises all businesses to adopt a regular monitoring
program, which includes “self-monitoring under the supervision of their employer’s occupational health
program." In a new OSHA report, titled, “Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19,” the
organization stresses that large and small businesses alike should have a preparedness plan, including
administrative controls, before resuming operations. An efficient and quick action plan can reduce further
workforce exposure, as well as healthcare costs for employers.

The COVID-19 Employee Screening Solution provides an organizational system for daily symptom
screening, resources for at-risk employees, and reporting capabilities that enable robust record-keeping.

Each day, employees answer self-screening questions for symptoms before they come to work. If the
results meet safety guidelines, the employee receives a “health digital badge” in the form of a QR code.
The solution allows management to view real-time screening status data. If an employee needs assistance,
the solution quickly directs them to available testing sites and can even set up an appointment. Employees
can also message their employers securely.

Employee Screening Solution has several features that make it easy for businesses to scale post-pandemic
workplace management and meet privacy and safety requirements. The solution provides users with
exposure alerts, a “quarantine clock,” and incident recording and tracking tools--including assistance with
escalation protocol for at-risk employees, antibody test availability, and quarantine guidelines.
Leveraging mHealthCoach’s employee management system, the app operates using a HIPAA compliant
cloud to protect sensitive information.
