CallConfirmLive! offers unique
flexibility by providing a comprehensive range of data capture
options suitable for lone workers who make regular visits to a
number of premises.
CM2000 is a full Channel Partner with Destiny Wireless, world
leader in the provision of digital processing solutions utilising
an ingenious digital pen and paper. The Digital Pen can quickly
capture hand written information which can easily be uploaded to
the required software packages for viewing and processing. It is
best suited to Social Workers in the field undertaking assessments
or those situations where Care Workers need to record visit notes
directly into CallConfirmLive!
The digital pen won 'Environmental product of the year' at the
2010 Document Management Awards.
How it works
Users write with the Digital Pen on the specially printed paper
(this is normal paper printed with a faint, unique pattern of
dots). As the user writes, a tiny camera in the pen registers its
movement across the surface of the paper. The camera takes up to
100 pictures per second of the position of the pen strokes in
relation to the 'dot pattern' on the page. This creates a digital
image of exactly what is written, time and date stamped. In
addition to this, all pen data can be linked to an individual user,
as each Digital Pen has a unique Pen ID.
The pen stroke data is stored as a series of map co-ordinates in
the Digital Pen and because the pattern on the paper is unique,
with an individual traceability code, the pen knows which pen
strokes relate to each piece of paper. A command box, to send the
data, is printed on each page or paper form. On completion of a
form the user simply ticks the SEND box to transmit the data to a
Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. Alternatively the data can be
transferred using a docking station attached by USB port to your PC
or laptop.
Once the completed electronic form has reached the data
processing centre it can be reviewed, edited, and verified. Optical
Character Recognition is used to translate handwriting into text
data which, if required, can then be exported into any mainstream
software application. The information can then be viewed from
within CallConfirmLive! and linked to Service User and Care Worker
records.
