E&I Cooperative Services offers SAFE HealthCheck™ to its membership of over 5,000 U.S. educational institutions Dallas, TX – December 15, 2020 — E&I Cooperative Services (E&I), the only member-owned, non-profit cooperative focused exclusively on higher education, today announced it has awarded a contract to Safe Health Systems, Inc. (SAFE) to make the SAFE HealthCheck app quickly available with preferred pricing to its member institutions across the United States. Safe Health Systems (SAFE), operator of the SAFE Digital Healthcare Platform, partnered with Hedera Hashgraph, the enterprise grade distributed ledger, to create the SAFE HealthCheck app for COVID-19 testing, STD, and other low-acuity testing and health status verification. “As health status verification and testing have become more important than ever, we are excited to offer the HealthCheck App to E&I members,” said Aaron Spang, Vice President, Research and Academic Healthcare at E&I. “We are proud to help educational institutions respond to the COVID-19 crisis effectively and safely while also protecting students' health long-term with the added benefit of digitally-enabled STD testing.” The SAFE HealthCheck solution is a testing and health status verification platform that provides an automated digital solution for testing on the go. Created by SAFE and Hedera Hashgraph, this platform enables remote health checks and more topical, remote COVID-19 testing. The SAFE HealthCheck solution gives users digital health IDs, which are stored and verified on the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS). The HCS enables the validation, recording and ordering of test results at a rate which is cost-effective, fast and secure. The Hedera platform ensures testing results are verifiable and available in real-time while not compromising individual data privacy. Instead, it preserves end user privacy with its advanced security, proving the benefit of a decentralized platform. Ken Mayer, Founder and CEO of SAFE, said, “With the coronavirus outbreak, it’s essential that educational institutions take the necessary measures and response to prevent the spread of the virus on campus. E&I is helping educational institutions across the US achieve this by using the SAFE HealthCheck app. E&I is also helping tackle the stigma and improve safety by contracting for non-COVID testing services around STDs. Individuals now have the resources to play a more active role in their healthcare records and data.” Mance Harmon, CEO of Hedera Hashgraph, concluded, “Having E&I join as the latest customer of the SAFE HealthCheck app is particularly exciting as we make a continued impact on the education sector. We are aware of the strong need for workplaces and educational facilities to respond to COVID-19, take the necessary measures to operate and reopen when safe to do so. Decentralizing this app on the Hedera network ensures that all data is safe, secure and tracked in real-time, which is essential for the functioning of remote and accurate health testing. This application is a prime example of public distributed ledgers’ role in tackling real-world challenges such as medical testing.” E&I acts as an extension of its members' procurement departments, helping them source effectively through a portfolio of competitively solicited contracts. Solely focused on serving education and related facilities, E&I’s mission is to deliver exceptional value to its members through their expertise, solutions, and services.
