On behalf of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Census Bureau, we invite you to a Virtual Solutions Showcase on May 25th. During this event you will learn about and experience first-hand 12 digital products developed to address COVID-19 diagnostic data collection and reporting efforts. In addition to lightning talks and live demos from the tech teams who developed these products, the event will host conversations with leading experts from government and industry to learn more about the vast responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
TOPx is an open data and innovation program facilitated by the Department of Health and Human Services in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau. Through a rapid virtual technology development, we are focused on a pressing national challenge - the effective collection and reporting of COVID-19 diagnostics data.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring that diagnostic data from testing devices is harmonized, automated, and shared with public health authorities and other key stakeholders is essential. Unfortunately, this process is not currently occurring because diagnostic devices and tests have not previously been coupled with applications or digital software tools. Through this sprint, 12 technology teams are working to ensure this information is transmitted efficiently, securely and accurately to key stakeholders, including federal, state, local and tribal government, employers, schools, consumers and more.
