COVID-19 Vaccine Temperature Monitoring by TapmyLife

We are now on the brink of a crucial transition towards returning to normalcy: the arrival of COVID vaccines promises a significantly more hopeful medium-term outlook for the global population.

Starting in January 2021, COVID VACCINE containers will be transported with their delicate cargo to storage centers, and from there to hospitals and care facilities where they must be kept at temperatures that ensure their therapeutic efficacy.

TapMyLife, at the forefront of COVID countermeasures since the beginning of the pandemic, has developed a specialized solution for real-time temperature monitoring of COVID VACCINES down to -100 degrees using a centralized platform designed by our technicians to ensure the perfect preservation of these valuable vaccine vials.

The TapMyLife system features alarm thresholds for each device, with differentiated thresholds for proactive alerts and actual alarms, and real-time centralized monitoring of each device’s status with temperature updates at intervals starting from 1 second.

The parametric definition of alarm recipients based on various parameters (refrigerator location, time of day, type of refrigerator, intervention priority level, etc.) results in a cross-functional system tailored to different hospital facilities that can be equipped with a single control center.

All system components are continuously monitored, and any malfunctions are communicated via email and through the alarm service. In the event of network component failures (Wi-Fi, corporate LAN, power, connectivity), the sensor continues to measure the temperature and store data on internal memory (32,000 readings allowed, with an interval set during installation, from 10 seconds to 18 hours), which can later be downloaded via smartphone or USB.

All provided sensors are calibrated and come with a traceable NIST calibration certificate valid for 2 years, with the option for annual renewal.

An elaborate system of interactive dashboards is available for analyzing: • Temperature trends for each refrigerator; • Temperature trends by type; • Alarm trends according to different thresholds for refrigerator, type, and department.

With this technological architecture, TapMyLife continues to contribute to the fight against the terrible virus that has so severely impacted our daily lives.
