How it goes

Say where you are, once
Choose the ward or theatre, or scan the label on the shelf. The device remembers it for the person signed in.
Scan it, photograph it, or find it by name
The phone's camera reads the barcode. When the barcode is torn or missing, a photo of the packaging is matched to the catalogue and the lot and expiry are read off the label. Or type a few letters: only what is in stock at this location is listed.
Say how many
Big buttons, a reference field for the patient or case where the item needs one, and a line saying which lot it will come from.
Done
The stock comes off this location, soonest expiry first, and the movement is in the ledger with the person's name. The next item is one scan away.

Small things that matter at the bedside

Soonest expiry first, every time

Use is taken from the lot that expires soonest at that location. If someone scans a newer lot while an older one is on the shelf, the screen says so and asks them to swap, and still lets them record the one in their hand.

Recalled and quarantined lots are stopped

A scan of a lot that is recalled or on hold is refused with a plain message to put it aside, before anything is recorded.

Implants and controlled items need a reference

The patient, case or ward reference is required where the product is marked as an implant or a controlled substance, so the trace to the patient is never missing.

Works with a scanner or a phone

A hardware scanner types into the box. A phone or tablet uses its camera, reading GS1 DataMatrix, GS1-128, EAN and HIBC codes in the browser where it can, and taking a photo where it cannot.

Identifying an item from a photo

Packaging gets torn, barcodes get covered by labels, and sterile wrappers go in the bin before anyone thinks about stock. When there is nothing to scan, a photo is enough.

The photo is read against the organisation's own catalogue, with what is in stock at that location considered first. The answer is the product, how sure the reading is and why, plus any lot number, expiry or serial printed on the packaging. A reading with a printed GTIN is treated like a scan; a less certain one offers up to three candidates to pick from.

Photo identification uses a vision model and must be switched on by the organisation. The photo is sent to the model to be read and is not stored.
