BOULDER, Colo., June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ivy.ai, an Ed Tech innovator and industry leader in Artificial Intelligence, collaborates with Creighton University to develop #CampusClear, a free mobile app and fast pass to support COVID-19 self-screening for students, faculty, and campus visitors.

With rising concerns over health and safety created by COVID-19, officials at Creighton University formed a committee tasked with minimizing the spread of the virus through a hybrid model of promoting a social contract, in-person monitoring, and self-monitoring. The committee turned to their AI technology partner, Ivy.ai, for a self-monitoring solution. Ivy.ai consulted with Creighton University to design the solution.

"We're all in this together, and at Ivy.ai, we have the ability and means to help, so that's what we hope to do," said Mark McNasby, CEO of Ivy.ai. "We built #CampusClear to help colleges and universities return to campus safely and make informed decisions about on-campus activity. The app is free because we believe every college and university should protect the health and safety of their campus communities."

"I see the app as providing a 'passport' that will be checked at all entry points to buildings on campus starting in the summer and into the fall," says Dr. Carrie Hoarty, Director of Student Health, Education, and Compliance at Creighton University. "We are grateful that Ivy.ai is assisting with COVID-19 screening to help keep Creighton's campus safe."

#CampusClear prompts users to answer a single question each day: "How do you feel today?" Users select from configurable responses to reveal a one-day pass for visiting campus or instructions to self-quarantine. #CampusClear also provides real-time analytics to help guide campus officials as they make decisions regarding on-campus operations.

The app also supports contact tracing. Schools can connect data from their student information system to identify hot spots, track diagnoses, monitor potential outbreaks, and alert students and faculty who may have been exposed to symptomatic individuals. #CampusClear is configurable, enabling schools to add their logo and colors, and modify the daily question, user responses, and response outcomes.

Schools can learn more and request access to #CampusClear online at http://www.CampusClear.com.
