ZA Labs

A lightweight user interface to help you follow up results — built around a fast barcode scanner, with automatic login so you reach the answer in seconds.

Fast barcode scanner Automatic login Nothing stored in-app

Overview

Scan, log in automatically, follow up your result — quick by design, and private by default.

ZA Labs is a lightweight interface for following up laboratory results. Its main feature is a fast barcode scanner, and to keep things quick it automatically handles your login so there's no friction between you and the answer.

The app is fast, but it relies on your network connection. None of the data retrieved or shown is ever stored in the app, and your login credentials are kept securely on your device — they never leave it.

Availability and retrieved data are not guaranteed by the ZA Labs team
