Gateways
The connection starts here.
A connection to digital information begins with something a person or system can read. The Gateways initiative considers that first interaction: the carrier on a product, the environment in which it is used, and the needs of the person scanning it.

Our focus
Start with the care setting.
Different environments bring different requirements. We want to bring healthcare teams, product manufacturers, packaging specialists, and technology providers into the same conversation about practical access to information.
Perspectives to bring together
Healthcare professionals, patient advocates, manufacturers, packaging specialists, and scanning technology providers.
Questions to explore together
What do patients and healthcare professionals need at the point of a scan?
How should we evaluate QR codes and other two-dimensional carriers for different healthcare settings?
What physical, accessibility, and workflow constraints affect a successful interaction?
The collaborative opportunity
Develop shared use cases that connect carrier choices with real tasks, from finding product instructions to supporting a clinical workflow.
