Loxley launches CareChek platform to manage Covid-19 risk at work

Loxley Group established a working team to monitor and prevent the epidemic from spreading through implementing various measures, said Loxley director Vasant Chatikavanij.

CareChek uses predictive analytics and big data analysis through data inputs such as self-reported symptoms, geo-location, demographic and medical research data to target employees who might be at a high risk of transmitting infection.

This differs from pure contact tracing methodology, which is more deterministic and highly manpower intensive, said Loxley.

“For the past three months, we have been testing CareChek with our own employees and we’re now ready to start offering it to other interested organisations. For non-profit organisations where workers are at high risk of Covid-19 infection, Loxley is happy to offer the solution for free as part of our effort to help society get through this difficult period together. We also plan to add new capabilities for the CareChek platform to track other serious diseases,” said Vasant.

The platform works via IfYouCan’s mobile application NotifyMe, which users can install. After registering, users are asked to answer a daily health survey used to calculate their individual risk score.

The app also allows employees to receive official announcements about Covid19 measures, with translations and a text-to-speech function for the visually impaired.

The system will also report the result of individual risk assessments and alert users when they approach any potential high-risk areas.

Through the platform dashboard, organisation admin officials receive near real-time information of the risk assessed by the platform’s algorithm, allowing them to manage personnel more effectively to prevent the virus from spreading.
