Use Case

School Healthcare and Vaccination App Built With ELWIS

Managing student immunization records is still a manual grind of spreadsheets, paper files and endless parent follow-ups. A school district partnered with ELWIS to build a secure, no-code app that centralizes vaccination tracking, automates communication and digitizes consent.

The problem

The problem: compliance held back by manual tools

Operating in a documentation-heavy, compliance-driven setting, school nurses and district coordinators depend on accurate records. But student data spread across spreadsheets, paper cards and disconnected systems made immunization tracking slow, error-prone and hard to scale across schools.

Parental approvals and documents tracked securely.

Automated reminders

Email and SMS follow-ups sent without manual chasing.

Secure by design

Sensitive health data protected as requirements evolve.

Key features

Built around how school health teams actually work

Every capability was shaped around school nurses and district coordinators — from clinic scheduling to mobile data entry.

PROFILES

Centralized student profiles

Complete records with vaccination history, consent status and health notes, together in one place instead of scattered across systems.

DASHBOARD

A real-time overview of missing immunizations, pending consents and upcoming clinics, so coordinators always know where each school stands.

CONSENT

Digital consent management

Secure tracking of parental approvals and uploaded documents, with a clear consent status for every student.

CLINICS

Clinic event management

Schedule school-based vaccination clinics and generate student rosters automatically, without rebuilding a spreadsheet each time.

COMMUNICATION

Branded, multilingual reminders sent automatically by email and SMS — parents stay informed without staff making calls.

Multilingual reminders

Parents get notices in the languages they speak.

Less manual chasing

Automated follow-ups replace letters and phone calls.

MOBILE ENTRY

Tablet-friendly data entry

Record vaccinations on tablets during clinic visits, even in a busy gym hall away from a desk.

REPORTING

Reporting and audit logs

Detailed exports for administrators and public health agencies, with full change tracking on every record.

The solution

A purpose-built school health app,built on Elwis

ElwisApp blends custom development with a powerful no-code layer — the team focused on real health workflows instead of reinventing infrastructure.

Page Builder

Compose screens and workflows visually — no front-end engineering.

Configurable Type System

Artifact types, link types and attributes model orders, patients, statuses, departments and roles.

Client-owned governance

The client creates and edits artifacts, artifact types and attributes directly — without relying on developers.
Before & after
