The Sample Assist Employment Medical Passport is a secure digital platform designed to empower employees in managing and sharing their occupational health data. Developed in collaboration with the University of Wollongong and supported by the national LIFT Program, this innovative tool allows individuals to store, access, and control their medical assessment information, enhancing privacy and efficiency in workplace health compliance.

By digitising the management of medical assessments, the Employment Medical Passport streamlines the process for both employees and employers, and medical providers, facilitating safer and more effective occupational health practices. This project reflects Sample Assist’s commitment to revolutionising how businesses handle medical assessments and workplace safety programs.

Asmaa Seyam, a PhD candidate from the University of Wollongong’s School of Computing and Information Technology, conducted research for Sample Assist during her APR.Intern placement. Her work focused on developing a digital platform to streamline the pre-employment medical testing process, integrating all parties involved—employees, employers, clinics, laboratories, and healthcare professionals—into a single, secure online environment. This initiative aimed to reduce costs and time while ensuring privacy for employees and patients.

Asmaa’s research directly contributed to the advancement of Sample Assist’s Research Program, influencing product development and strategic decisions regarding the commercialisation of the platform. Her work was instrumental in designing new features that addressed specific customer requirements, ultimately shaping the future direction of the product.
