Ready for vaccination
Vaccination clinics slow down on screening questions at the counter. Before the visit, TESSA asks adults, travellers, or parents answering for their child about allergies, past reactions, pregnancy, current illness and medicines, and explains what to expect, including common side effects, so the nurse sees who needs a doctor's check before vaccinating.

Questions
What does TESSA do in ready for vaccination?
Vaccination clinics slow down on screening questions at the counter. Before the visit, TESSA asks adults, travellers, or parents answering for their child about allergies, past reactions, pregnancy, current illness and medicines, and explains what to expect, including common side effects, so the nurse sees who needs a doctor's check before vaccinating. It does this through information gathering, patient education.
Does TESSA diagnose the patient?
No, TESSA never gives a patient a diagnosis. It collects and collates the information the patient provides, asks probing questions and performs risk assessment; a clinician reviews the summary and decides, and no diagnosis, summary or management plan reaches the patient until the clinician signs.
What happens if the patient mentions a warning sign?
Warning or worrying signs that require immediate attention or action go straight to the care team without alarming the patient. For time-critical presentations, TESSA supports the clinician only and is not currently intended for patient use.
How is patient information protected?
The patient surface runs on session codes, not names, and each institution's data is kept apart with a full audit trail. Our own Anonesia by TINYHealth is a proprietary software and code that removes PIIs, e.g. names, ID numbers and contact details from text before it reaches an AI model.
