More in Lifora app & cloud
Lifora is Solver's free app for Android phones. It talks to the same cloud server as E-Lab. Patients, tests, bills and results are still entered on the lab PC, as before. The cloud only carries some of that work out to phones, and brings a few things back.
Nothing in this chapter is switched on until you connect the lab once from Help > Mobile App Integration. Until then, E-Lab works exactly as it does offline.
Who uses Lifora, and how they get in
| Person | How they get in | What they do |
|---|---|---|
| Patient | The Lifora app. Mobile number, then a 6-digit OTP sent on WhatsApp. No password. | Receives reports, books tests with your lab, keeps family members on one account, finds labs in a city. |
| Walk-in patient without the app | The web page elab.webjaadu.com/p. Mobile number and a WhatsApp OTP. | Reads and prints reports from the last 7 days. |
| Lab owner (Lab Admin) | The Lifora app, with the Lab License No. and the Admin Username and Password you create in E-Lab. | Approves or returns reports, sees app bookings, reads the day's figures and a log of edits and deletes. |
This is what a patient sees the first time they open Lifora. Their mobile number is their Lifora ID. They type it, receive a 6-digit code on WhatsApp and tap Verify & continue.
Reports from your lab find the patient by that mobile number. So the Contact No. you type in Patient Entry decides who receives the report.
How the pieces connect
- You connect once
On the lab PC, fill the Cloud tab and click Activate & Connect. This makes the lab's one admin login. - You publish your lab
Upload your test list and prices, and fill your lab's page on the Website tab. Patients can then find you and book. - E-Lab sends some things by itself
While E-Lab runs with internet, it sends each saved report that has a 10-digit mobile, the day's figures about every 15 minutes, and a log of new, edited and deleted bills. - You send some things by hand
Send to Lifora puts a report in the patient's app. Send To Admin asks the owner to approve it. - Some things come back
App bookings appear on your dashboard. Results the owner approves on the phone are written back into the report.
Reports without paper
A patient on Lifora gets the report on the phone with a "Report ready" alert, and can share the link with the doctor.
No retyping of bookings
An app booking opens Patient Entry with the name, age, mobile and tests already filled. You check and save.
The owner sees the lab
Bills, collection, approvals and every deleted or edited bill reach the owner's phone, even when the owner is away.
What Lifora does not do
- There is no doctor login. The referring doctor is only a name on the booking.
- There is no online payment. The booking total is paid at the lab.
- Patients cannot book home collection with an E-Lab lab. E-Lab sends your test list with home collection switched off.
- There are no separate staff logins. Each licence has one admin login.
- Patients need internet to see their reports. The app keeps no offline copy.
Lifora also has a separate "phone lab" mode for labs with no PC. It is not linked to E-Lab and this manual does not cover it.
Questions people ask
Do I have to use the cloud?
No. E-Lab works fully without it. You only lose the phone features in this chapter.
Does the patient need our licence number to get reports?
No. Reports find the patient by mobile number. The licence number is needed only to add your lab in the app for booking.
Can a referring doctor log in to Lifora?
No. There is no doctor role. Send the doctor's copy by WhatsApp or email from E-Lab (chapter 5).
Is Lifora on iPhone?
Lifora is published on Google Play for Android phones. Do not promise patients an iPhone version.
What does the lab pay for the cloud?
This manual does not list prices. Ask your dealer.
