With Malaysia set to enter an endemic stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, health officials believe that Malaysians need to work collectively to manage the risks of the virus with the help of innovative tools. To that end, CLEA, a homegrown medical technology start-up, today enters the market to introduce Malaysia’s first virtual COVID-19 screening app. Believing that lockdowns or a zero-COVID strategy unrealistic, CLEA aims to create an ecosystem where individuals, businesses, and medical professionals can work together in ensuring maximum protection from the pandemic, or any highly transmissible illness. Founded by Dr Chan and a group of health practitioners, CLEA automates and streamlines COVID-19 screening while seamlessly ensuring that the results are verified by medically qualified doctors. In addition to authenticity, the CLEA platform is also an affordable method of screening as it does not require users to schedule in-person consultations. By saving users and medical personnel from having unnecessary physical contact, CLEA reduces the risk of infection while reducing the time taken for a successful COVID-19 screening. In order to prevent future outbreaks, CLEA is actively approaching multiple industries, notably education, entertainment, and manufacturing, as they often consist of high-traffic premises that have greater potential to to be ground-zero for community COVID-19 clusters. Therefore, CLEA aims to work hand-in-hand with them to ensure that all personnel and patrons are screened virtually, for the continued safety of the general public.
