Question 1

What is Carry: Clinical Companion and how does it assist hospital ward rounds?

Accepted Answer

Carry: Clinical Companion is an offline-first shift companion and clinical follow-through platform built specifically for hospital ward and ICU clinicians (doctors, residents, fellows, and nurses). It streamlines bedside task capture in under 3 seconds, enables real-time team board coordination, provides 34 validated clinical calculators, ages pending lab investigations on a Results Radar, and generates a structured, zero-PHI shift handoff in one tap.

Question 2

How does Carry protect patient health information (Zero-PHI) under HIPAA and DPDPA 2023?

Accepted Answer

Carry enforces strict data minimisation under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA 2023) and HIPAA. The app records bed numbers and initials only (e.g., ICU-04 M.K.), never storing full patient names, national IDs, UHIDs, or MRNs. Voice matching and analytics execute strictly on-device with zero audio storage or cloud exposure.

Question 3

What bedside clinical calculators and severity scores are included in v1.2.0?

Accepted Answer

Release v1.2.0 features 34 point-of-care clinical calculators executed directly on device with zero cloud transmission: Wells DVT/PE, CURB-65, NEWS2, SOFA, NIHSS, CHA2DS2-VASc, MELD-Na, KDIGO AKI staging, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), PaO2/FiO2 ratio, and Opioid & Steroid Equivalence.

Question 4

Does Carry work 100% offline without hospital Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Carry: Clinical Companion is 100% offline-first. All patient tasks, checklists, and calculators operate locally in an encrypted on-device database, ensuring seamless ward rounds even in shielded basement ICUs. When connectivity is available, changes synchronize peer boards in the background with conflict-free stale-write protection.

Question 5

How does 1-tap shift handoff work with WhatsApp and hospital EHRs?

Accepted Answer

At shift completion, Carry auto-formats an SBAR-style clinical sign-out structured by bed, highlighting overdue investigations, critical tasks, and discharge milestones. It can be copied directly or exported to WhatsApp, SMS, or hospital EHR notes with zero clinician typing and zero PHI risk.

Question 6

Does voice capture record or upload patient audio to any server?

Accepted Answer

No. Carry uses on-device neural voice token matching running exclusively on the phone processor. Zero audio recordings or transcriptions are stored, saved, or uploaded to any external server.
