Colorado State University Pueblo has partnered with Spartan Medical, a medical technology company based in Maryland, to assist the school in ramping up COVID-19 testing and contact tracing. The company, along with the university, will be joined by NTT DATA Services in developing an app for expanding its capabilities for testing students and staff as well as expand contact tracing on campus. It allows the school to manage all of its COVID-19 data in one place, which includes appointment scheduling and gathering test results. "Early in October, we recognized we were going to be dealing with COVID realities for a while and if we wanted a way to have some safe, in-person options for our students that we were going to need help," said Donna Souder Hodge, CSU Pueblo's chief strategy officer and COVID-19 director. "We needed partnerships with people who had digital solutions for us to do screenings, more robust testing protocols and do all of our testing in house."
