Web-based, rapid and contactless management of ambulatory patients for SARS-CoV-2-testing.

Background: During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic a mass casualty incident of ambulatory patients occurred at the COVID-19 rapid response infrastructure (CRRI) facility at the University Hospital of Cologne (UHC). We report the development of a patient-centred mobile-device solution to support efficient management of the facility, triage of patients and rapid delivery of test results.

Methods: The UHC-Corona Web Tool (CWT) was developed as a web-based software useable on each patient's smartphone.
