Year-round school health

Make every school part of the public health system

A continuous immunization audit from the first registry record through grade 12, instead of a compliance check at two grade gates.

A real-world example of impact

Statewide school immunization audits, from months to hours

A state health department replaced manual, student by student registry lookups with the School Immunization Audit: 18 public health nurses covering 650+ schools and 22,000+ kindergarten and 6th grade students.

Religious exemption growth slowed in year one

Every student was checked against the state registry repeatedly all year, which meant more outreach cycles and more audits completed. In the program’s first year, growth in the religious exemption rate fell from about 1.3 to 1.4 points a year to about 0.4, one third of the prior pace. This is one year of observational data from one state, and other factors likely contributed. We’re continuing to track it.

The detection layer

Know what’s in the air before it’s in the clinic

Schools are often where a new threat shows up first. Through the SCALE project under ARPA-H’s BREATHE program, led by Poppy Health, schools across multiple districts are getting continuous detection of up to 100 airborne organisms from room air, so a building can raise a signal before anyone is sick enough to get tested.

Primary.Health is a subcontractor on the Poppy Health team, one of the performer teams in the BREATHE program, and provides the public health workflow around the detection: school health reporting, symptom tracking, testing, and outcomes measurement. As new organisms emerge, detection updates through software, so a building stays protected against threats that don’t have names yet.

New building system aims to detect spread of disease before symptoms appear

Citing a nationwide rise in several infectious diseases, two health tech companies plan to test a new airborne-pathogen-detection and air-purification system at a San Francisco school later this year. Primary.Health and Poppy Health Inc., headquartered in San Francisco and Winter Park, Fla., respectively, said they’ve created a product that analyzes genetic information that can determine what pathogens are in the air in buildings. When certain pathogens are detected, the buildings’ HVAC systems are triggered to filter them out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the platform free up time for my overworked administrative staff?

We’ve automated time-consuming tasks like parent communications and student record updates and eliminated the need to access multiple systems, freeing your staff to focus on what they do best. For example, customize a parent reminder and let our platform do the rest. The parent portal makes it easy for parents and guardians to log in, upload immunization records, retrieve school and provider forms, and more.

Can the platform integrate with my school or district’s existing software?

Yes! Our system integrates with most School Information Systems (SIS) and Immunization Information Systems (IIS) and makes it easy to upload student rosters. Need help with annual immunization reporting? Talk to us about further integration with your state’s registries.

What system training do you provide?

Primary.Health provides all the onboarding, training, user guides, and support your school needs to use the platform. Questions? Our team is just a phone call or email away.

I need more information to decide. Who do I contact with my questions?

We get it! Our Primary.Health school health team is available to answer questions or walk you through our platform. Email us at schoolhealth@primary.health or call 1-855-970-3223.

What school leaders say

Schools

Last January was our big surge with 13 positive cases on campus that shut down 13 classes. This January we had 120 positive cases, but not one single class needed to shut down due to test to stay protocols.

Schools

It has allowed rapid antigen tests for our students, staff, and students’ household members during a time where no walk-in or rapid antigen was available. It has allowed our students to return as early as possible and parents to go back to work earlier.

Schools

The testing program has been a godsend to the staff and students of VUSD. We offer 10 testing sites every week (2 per day) to provide testing for students, staff and indoor athletes. The physical impact on the schools has been minimal and everyone has appreciated having it.
