wearables for workplace-level contact tracing for COVID-19
Buongiorno nexiani, mi verrebbe da dire loro: quando fate così mi fate paura! :-) Siccome il Contact Tracing dei contagiati che sono stati nei propri luoghi di lavoro è notoriamente un problema insormontabile con il metodo tradizionale, i datori di lavoro possono dotare i propri collaboratori di comodi tracciatori indossabili "Proof of Health", in tre comodi modelli, per gestire il tutto da una comoda Dashboard :-O Venghino, signori, venghino! Presto sugli scaffali di tutti i gadget store mondiali! https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/02/estimote-launches-wearables-for-workplace-... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- The devices, called simply the “Proof of Health” wearables, aim to provide contact tracing — in other words, monitoring the potential spread of the coronavirus from person-to-person — at the level of a local workplace facility. The intention is to give employers a way to hopefully maintain a pulse on any possible transmission among their workforces and provide them with the ability to hopefully curtail any local spread before it becomes an outsized risk.

Mobile devices also can’t do nearly as fine-grained tracking with indoor environments as dedicated hardware can manage, he says. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- L'App su smartphone ha considerevoli implicazioni di privacy ed è troppo invasiva, questo invece! :-D https://estimote.com/wearable/ (prego guardare le figurine) --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- The contact tracing dashboard notifies all exposed team members and protects your entire workforce Team members who work together use small wireless devices which automatically registers their close interactions In the event of a symptomatic employee, companies can quickly locate other exposed team members who are at risk Wirelessly chargeable with programmable panic button and LED status indicators Button that enables employees to log their health status in real-time --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Non è l'unico sul mercato.

The contact tracing dashboard notifies all exposed team members and protects your entire workforce
Team members who work together use small wireless devices which automatically registers their close interactions
In the event of a symptomatic employee, companies can quickly locate other exposed team members who are at risk
Wirelessly chargeable with programmable panic button and LED status indicators
Button that enables employees to log their health status in real-time
