## Description

Instadose Companion is a cutting-edge mobile app designed to wirelessly read and transmit radiation dose data from Instadose®+ and Instadose®2 digital dosimeters. This innovative platform simplifies radiation monitoring by enabling immediate dose reads through internet-enabled smartphones, tablets, or computers. It enhances safety by safeguarding staff from radiation over-exposure with both automatic and manual dose reads. Data collected is securely transmitted to Mirion servers, archiving legal dose records and providing instant access to dose results, history, and wearer information for both individual users and administrators.

By automating dose readings on scheduled intervals and allowing manual reads on demand, Instadose Companion streamlines radiation safety management, reduces administration costs, and ensures compliance with regulatory standards. The app's user-friendly interface displays real-time monitoring data, improving oversight and transparency in facilities utilizing Instadose dosimeters.
