LabLink connects directly to the NHLS TrakCare system. Scan a barcode or search by patient name, folder number, or MRN — and get full results instantly, with flagged values highlighted.
LabLink is built around the way South African clinicians actually work — fast lookups, clear results, and tools for team collaboration.
Point your camera at any NHLS barcode or QR code and get results in seconds. Works on lab request forms, specimen stickers, and printed reports.
Find patients by name, folder number, MRN, episode number, or specimen reference. All search types return the same rich result set.
Abnormal values are highlighted in red (high), blue (low), and orange (abnormal). Reference ranges shown inline — no separate lookup needed.
Download full NHLS PDF reports directly from the app. View in-app, share via WhatsApp or email, or save to your device.
Track lab values over time with interactive charts. See how creatinine, haemoglobin, sodium and other analytes have trended for a patient across all NHLS episodes.
Recent searches are saved automatically. Previously viewed results and cached PDFs are accessible offline — useful during load-shedding or poor connectivity.
Shared digital Kanban boards for clinical teams. Create lists, assign cards to patients, link lab results, add checklists, comments, and photos. All synced in real time.
Credentials stored with AES-256 encryption. No patient data is stored on our servers — the app connects directly to NHLS. Auto-lock after inactivity.
Full dark mode support for low-light environments — night shifts, dark wards, and on-call rooms. Available on LabLink Pro.
LabLink uses your existing NHLS TrakCare credentials — no new accounts, no onboarding, no separate registration.
Log in once with your existing NHLS TrakCare username and password. No new account needed.
Point your camera at a barcode on a lab form, or type a patient name, folder number, or MRN.
Full results appear within seconds, with abnormal values flagged, reference ranges shown, and PDF available for download.
Share PDFs via WhatsApp, link patients to shared ward boards, and track results over time — all without leaving the app.
