• Free download of the Q-Wallet from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
• Individual registers with email and phone number.
• [Optional] Profile validated by external service.
• Their Digital Wallet joins the platform ✔

The Digital Wallet stores all the user’s test results. Although these can be viewed, they can never be manipulated by the user.

• Secure account created using Q-Link platform.
• Entity (“Clinician”) authorized to carry out tests.
• Clinician authorized to commit results to Q-Wallet.
• The Clinician joins the platform.

Although new, simple rapid screening tests can be administered by anyone, a Trust Chain must be established so only authorized entities approved via Q-Link can commit results to the Q-Wallet.

This increases accountability and prevents untrusted people from doing tests and committing fake results.

• Clinical scans the Digital Wallet from their Q-Wallet functioning as an Authenticator Application.
• Associate the patient’s Digital Wallet.
• Geolocation of the test location recorded for auditing.

The link of the Clinician to the individual and the test about to be performed is essential in the continuation of the Trust Chain.

The aim is to replace paperwork and manual processes as much as possible during the association process.

• Different types of tests supported: RT-PCR, Antigen, Antibody.
• The QR code of the test (if there is one) is scanned.
• Entering a reference code creates a data bond between the test and individual.

All types of current and emerging tests such as saliva-based tests can be administered and recorded.

The Q-Link platform is test-agnostic.

• Output from different machines can be integrated with the platform.
• Transfer of results can be automated or semi-automated.
• Rapid tests can feed directly into the platform.
• Detailed clinical data can be added. ✔

The transfer of data from thermal cyclers is dependent on its capabilities.

This can be file export and upload, barcode scanning, cloud integration (if the cycler has a cloud platform).

• Result automatically updated in Q-Wallet, or any Digital Wallet.
• Individual is notified about their updated test status.
• Individual does not have to take any action.
• Individual cannot manipulate or influence the Clinician’s result.

The Q-Wallet stores all of the user’s test results. Although these can be viewed and results are updated in real-time, they can never be manipulated by the user.

• User retains control of their data.
• They choose what to share, when, and with whom.

• Ephemeral QR code changes continually.

User chooses what data elements to share from a simple pick list of fields.

This way, they control what is divulged to the various parties that scan the QR code.

• Seamless transfer of Test Result data
• Secure and trustworthy
• Minimises errors and paperwork
• Eliminates fraud

QR codes are ephemeral and continually change every 30 seconds.

Because they are only valid for a short time window, it is not possible to try to fake the information within that short period of time.
