Bluetooth beyond Digital Contact Tracing
Using Bluetooth for wider public healthcare improvements
<p>The Herald Project created a reliable API for data exchange used in nations' COVID-19 Digital Contact Tracing applications. The same Bluetooth LE and MESH technology can be used to improve healthcare operations - replacing aging pagers, finding healthcare equipment, navigating through complex environments, and in wearables for personal healthcare monitoring.</p>
This presentation talks about the use of the Herald API beyond Digital Contact Tracing, using a mix of opensource software, hardware, and data. This can be used to implement public health policy whilst respecting individual freedoms, including freedom of movement internationally.
