Contact Harald contact tracing solution

Contact Harald is a contact tracing solution designed to allow a business to quickly manage infections and prevent a full business closure if a staff member becomes unwell. The technology is suitable for facilities, such as meat processing facilities and abattoirs, that want to ensure employees are tested for COVID-19 regardless of whether they show symptoms.

Using wearable, standalone card technology and operating on low-energy Bluetooth technology, Contact Harald can be used to manage staff’s health by recording card-to-card interactions within a defined facility.

The technology can determine when two people have been in close proximity of each other within certain set time limits, allowing for easier, faster detection.

Should an individual become unwell, the data stored on the card issued to them while onsite is flagged within the system, automatically matching data to other cards active in the worksite active at the same time.

This allows businesses to manage potential health risks and immediately identify and alert staff to take swift action to isolate, get tested and better manage the health of their own immediate contacts outside of the business.

According to the company, confidentiality was a key focus in the development of the card technology and to ensure privacy, no personal information is stored on a card.
