Now that the Bridge Access Program has ended, we’re asking providers who were enrolled to share their experiences and help us improve.

Digital Data Loggers (DDLs) provided by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) use LogTag software to download temperature data.

LogTag version 2 is no longer supported and may cause data reporting errors.
