To support a data-driven response to the coronavirus pandemic, America is looking for better ways to:
- capture COVID-19 diagnostic data
- standardize that data
- report key data elements efficiently and accurately
We invite everyone to be part of the solution!
What is diagnostic data?
Diagnostic data refers to information collected and used in the investigation and diagnosis of a disease. In this case, diagnostic data refers to information collected from laboratory and non-laboratory diagnostic testing for COVID-19.
Join us in developing technical innovations to help fight COVID-19!
The COVID-19 At-Anywhere Diagnostics Design-a-thon is a virtual technology sprint using HealthData.gov COVID-19 Innovation and open data to:
- Improve speed, utility, and comprehensiveness of diagnostic data collection and use
- Develop user-friendly, integrated software and digital health tools to overcome the challenges of at-anywhere testing
- Facilitate the capture, harmonization, and secure transmission of key data elements to public health authorities, healthcare providers, and patients
The COVID-19 At-Anywhere Diagnostics Design-a-thon brings together all sectors to build digital solutions for data capture, harmonization, and reporting from COVID-19 diagnostic tests. These COVID-19 diagnostic tools — whether used in laboratory or non-laboratory settings — must securely transmit results to local, state, and national public health authorities.

Guidance and Technical Specifications for COVID-19 Test Reporting
Image
To guide the U.S. pandemic response, the following guidance and technical specifications must be adopted and put into practice for real-world impact.
- COVID-19 Lab Data Reporting Guidance*
- COVID-19 Lab-Based Data Reporting Specifications*
- COVID-19 Non-Lab-Based Data Reporting Specifications*
Goals for the COVID-19 At-Anywhere Diagnostics Design-A-Thon
The COVID-19 At-Anywhere Diagnostics Design-a-thon launches November 9, 2020 with two goals:
- Foster public-private development of combined software-hardware COVID-19 diagnostics.
- Launch an interface that exemplifies critical design principles and provides device/systems-agnostic “docking” between 2022卡塔尔世界杯 Protect and various reporting systems, called “Wireless Automated Transmission for Electronic Reporting Systems (WATERS).”
