By every child consistently self-reporting through the Nistue platform provides the school with a
collective view of the health status of its members allowing appropriate and timely interventions
that can
reduce the chances of disease spread.
It is therefore VERY important that each parent plays their part in keeping the school community
safe by remaining consistent with self-reports.
It works by screening for COVID-19 symptoms and applying novel analytic techniques to the data
to: identify/track spread of disease, identify at risk individuals and where appropriate link them
to
care in a rapid, secure
and dignified manner.
Your health information is exclusively
visible and accessible to:
The user (staff/student/parent) themselves
The designated medical directors involved in coordination of the school’s infection and
prevention control
Nistue is designed to secure the private health data of the clients while providing a dignified
and discreet way to handle COVID-19 triage and screening within the school.
You will be contacted by the health coordinators if your symptom report meets the minimum criteria
for the COVID-19 case definition. This contact is aimed at further screening to provide greater
context to the
report and enable appropriate actions and linkage to care as need be.
You will also be contacted by the school if your self-reporting is not up to date in a manner that
affects the consistency school wide screening.
Yes. The account belongs to the child and contains class specific information,
therefore separate accounts for each child should be set-up.
