The Overview
CheckOne is a comprehensive healthcare platform designed to assist emergency rooms and health clinics across Ontario with triage, check-ins, and pre-diagnosis. The app incorporates essential features including voice recognition, text-based functionality, AI-based diagnosis, and kiosks available in emergency rooms — all designed to be user-friendly, efficient, and reliable.

The platform operates across three integrated levels, each addressing a critical gap in Ontario's healthcare system — from preventative AI screening to real-time vital monitoring to streamlined medical records that follow patients everywhere.
The Challenge
Level Two: Monitoring. CheckOne uses smart devices to track patient vitals and health histories, updating their healthcare profiles on a recurring basis. The system collects data from three categories of wearable technology, each monitoring different vital signs that feed into a unified patient profile.

With CheckOne, smartwatch users can conveniently link all collected heart activity, blood oxygen, and blood pressure data into one safe and accessible place — so that nurses and doctors can save time and check the patient's recent history. This is especially useful in the triage process, where urgency is based on recently monitored vitals rather than Ontario's current lottery system.
The Process
Level Three: Streamline. A key integration is CheckOne's ability to assist emergency rooms and health clinics by acting as a universal health record system. Currently in the Ontario healthcare system, there is no universal patient database — CheckOne fills this critical gap.

The app enables clinics, pharmacies, and hospitals to access health records instantly and share them with medical professionals in real-time, ensuring patients receive the right care at the right time. Key features include the ability to display X-rays, ultrasounds, and lab results; view prescriptions with complete medication lists including dosages, frequency, and duration; and a dedicated section for allergies, medical history, and chronic conditions.
Implementing developing AR technologies, doctors would utilize Google Glass-like technology providing a heads-up UI of patient information — name, diagnosis, vitals, and other critical data immediately visible. This reduces the risk of misdiagnosis or patient confusion, enabling accurate and efficient treatment.
The Outcome
CheckOne will be a much-needed, revolutionary program that changes the way patient care is conducted, with an emphasis on equality, efficiency, and transparency for all. Patient care will be determined solely by medical history, current symptoms, and patient needs — with no biases based on arrival speed, disability, race, sexual orientation, or economic situation.

CheckOne will help streamline the triage method for critical-care in hospitals and clinics across Ontario, reducing overwhelming wait periods in emergency rooms and ensuring patients with disabilities aren't given lower priority. The vision extends beyond Ontario — all of Canada, and eventually countries worldwide, could implement this program.
