New App Matches PPE Donors with Health Care Workers

The AHA is partnering with Microsoft, Kaiser Permanente, consulting firm Kearney, Merit Solutions, and UPS to launch Protecting People Everywhere, powered by HealthEquip™. HealthEquip is a smart app that will match individuals and organizations donating PPE with local hospitals based on needs-criteria. The app also will track PPE donations and manage shipping through UPS to hospitals.

The AHA is sharing this app with hospitals through its 100 Million Mask Challenge as a way for the AHA to help facilitate a more efficient means of distributing critically needed PPE to frontline health care workers. Hospitals and donors can register their PPE needs and supplies at www.health-equip.com.
