What is EQU?
EQU stands for Eletronic Questionnaire and is a tool with which any questionnaires can be recorded and displayed in a structured way in the FHIR format. The respondent only needs a mobile device such as a tablet – EQU runs via the browser on it.
Deposited questionnaires can be easily assigned via EQU-Manager. The EQU-Manager is the administration and management platform for EQU. Survey results can be retrieved in real time in graphical and tabular form. In addition, paper questionnaires that have already been answered can be added.
EQU supports all common question types to allow an individual design of the questionnaires. There is no restriction regarding the number of stored questionnaires.
Technology
EQU is a web-based software that can be accessed completely in the browser. All communication between client and server is TLS encrypted. OpenID Connect is used for authentication.
The structured collection and further processing of clinical data is carried out in compliance with the specified data protection framework. EQU uses the HL7 FHIR data format for data transmission and can thus be easily integrated into an existing FHIR infrastructure.
Questionnaires via tablet
Answering questionnaires digitally via tablet eliminates the need for manual transmission of paper questionnaires.
