Device connectivity, not transcription
Results come off the analyser electronically the moment they are produced. No re-typing, no gap between the measurement and the record. See which analysers Catenix connects and how the connectivity layer works.

Screening software that holds the whole job.
Booking, testing, chain of custody, the corporate report and the invoice: what occupational health screening software should do, in one system.
Published 1 July 2026 · Last reviewed: July 2026 · 5 min read
Occupational health screening software runs a workplace testing service end to end: it books the workforce in, captures every result electronically from the analyser, keeps chain of custody and operator records intact, and produces the corporate report and the invoice at the end. If your service still runs on a diary, a stack of device printouts and a master spreadsheet, this guide describes what replacing that looks like.
The problem: volume breaks the paperwork
A workplace screening contract is not one patient at a time. It is eighty employees over two days at a client's premises, a second contract at your own clinic the same week, and a mobile unit somewhere else entirely. The clinical work is usually fine. What breaks is everything around it:
- Results scattered across devices and spreadsheets. The cholesterol lives on one analyser, the haemoglobin on another, the audiometry in a third program, and someone re-types all of it into the report template on Friday.
- Corporate clients who want evidence later. Months after the screening day, an HR department or a lawyer asks who tested a particular employee, on which device, and against which consent. The answer is a search through emails and paper.
- Chain of custody by goodwill. A result on a printout with a handwritten name is not custody. If the sample, the device record and the worker's identity are not linked at the moment of testing, they never truly are.
- Multiple sites, one overloaded coordinator. Each screening location does things slightly differently, and only the coordinator knows how it all fits together.
- Invoicing from memory. The invoice is rebuilt from the diary and the spreadsheet, and the two rarely agree on the count.
The promise: one system from booking to invoice
With the workflow in one system, a screening day changes shape. When the last worker leaves, the programme is already reconciled: who attended, who was tested, what was run, and what remains outstanding. Friday afternoon stops being a data-entry shift.
Catenix is built as exactly this kind of platform for occupational health providers. The occupational health solution page covers the full workflow; the sequence and proof points below are the ones buyers ask about first.
How it flows
The screening day, step by step.
01
Book
The client's workforce list becomes the booking list.
02
Check in
Each worker is checked in against that list on the day.
03
Test
Connected analysers attach results to the right person as they are produced.
04
Report
The corporate report is assembled from records that already exist, not re-typed from printouts.
05
Invoice
The invoice is generated from the same count the report used.
The proof
What to look for, and what Catenix does.
Operator accountability
Every test is run by a named, signed-in operator. If a client or a regulator asks who performed a test six months later, the record answers without an investigation.
A full audit trail
Who ran what, on which device, at what time, for which worker, under which programme, with the original device message retained. That is chain of custody in practice.
Corporate client portals
Each client sees their own programme: progress, completed reports, invoices, and nothing belonging to anyone else. Fewer status emails, faster sign-off.
Multi-site by design
Clinics, client premises and mobile units under one account, with per-site devices, operators and views, managed through the administration layer.
Records, not interpretation
Catenix moves, records and reports results. It does not interpret clinical results and provides no clinical decision support. Clinical judgement stays with your clinicians and the analyser's instructions for use.
Corporate reporting
One report, built from records that already exist.
Questions to put to any vendor
- Can you show a result travelling from our actual analyser into a corporate report, live?
- How is a result tied to the worker, the operator and the device at the moment of testing?
- What does the corporate client see, and how is their view separated from other clients?
- How are screening days at client premises handled when connectivity is poor?
- Does the invoice come from the same records as the report?
If the answers involve exports and spreadsheets, you are buying the Friday afternoon problem back.
Questions, answered
The questions buyers ask first.
What is occupational health screening software?
Software that runs a workplace health screening service end to end: booking the workforce in, capturing each test result electronically from the analyser, keeping chain of custody and operator records, and producing the corporate report and invoice at the end. It replaces the mix of spreadsheets, device printouts and manual reports most providers use today.
How does it keep chain of custody for workplace testing?
Every result is captured electronically from the device the moment it is produced and attached to a named worker, a named operator, a device serial number and a timestamp. Nothing is re-typed, so there is no gap between the measurement and the record, and the original device message is retained as evidence.
Can corporate clients see their own results?
Yes. Each corporate client gets a portal scoped to their own workforce programme: screening progress, completed reports and invoices, and nothing belonging to any other client. Individual clinical detail is shared according to the consent model you configure for the programme.
Does it work across several screening sites or mobile units?
Yes. Sites and mobile units are administered under one account, each with its own devices and operators, and results roll up into one view. A screening day at a client's premises is handled the same way as a session in your own clinic.
