About ‘smart wristband’:

  • This device will operate on a technology that is more effective than the GPS system.
  • The data collected through wristband will be collected and archived on cloud facilitating monitoring by health workers from a distance.
  • Tracking through mobile apps is limited to the quarantined person’s movement.
  • There is no mechanism at present to track symptoms which is the user’s subjective self-assessment.
  • The existing mobile apps use GPS or cell tower triangulation methods for tracking location with an accuracy that may vary sometimes up to a radius of 1.5 to 2 kilometres.
