Digital vs conventional patient forms. Which one is more infectious?

What is it about?

With the development of modern technology, the use of software-based applications in the field of health has become increasingly widespread. For this reason, computer-assisted personal registration forms have been developed using software programs. The aim of this study was to compare surface contamination during the filling of orthodontic anamnesis-consent forms, traditionally on paper and digitally on a tablet equipped with a software application, measured in confined spaces using the 3M Clean-Trace Luminometer device.

Why is it important?

We observed that patient forms filled out using conventional methods caused more microbial contamination than those completed digitally. So, we think that digital solutions will be useful in preventing the spread of infectious diseases in extraordinary situations such as pandemics, in addition to daily infections.
