Proper administration of the testing and accurate results reporting are absolutely necessary to help save lives and slow the spread of COVID-19. eMed’s Certified Guides help ensure the virtually guided testing sessions are administered and results read correctly so both the individual user and the broader public health system can be confident in the results.

eMed’s innovative digital point-of-care platform enables this supervision to occur remotely, protecting individuals from potential exposure in physical health care settings and enabling eMed to process millions of tests per day.

Anyone who administers their own test without an eMed Certified Guide will be ineligible to receive a digital NAVICA™ Pass of their negative result.
